Which ISP and speed did you end up going with?
I think the equivalent is £50 via Yayzi + £99 setup fee?
They definitely have a better reputation in that regard. I have no personal experience with either of the two companies. Check their T&Cs for CPI clauses
Had a look at idnet and their site states:
Yayzi we're good when i first signed up with them but they are pretty terrible now. The latency on a evening is quite bad, the support is very hit and miss and they are yet to assign me a static IP which is included in my package.
They use Zen backhaul I think, which would be a miss for me.
I'm assuming that's for their OpenReach products as I can't get Zen on CityFibre but I can get IDNet, I'd assume I'd need Zen available in my area for IDNet to use their backhaul?
You should be getting mid single digits in Doncaster to London on Yayzi, have you raised the issue as generally high latency (as opposed to the evening spike for some reason) isn't something i've seen discussed on the Yayzi forum. I do agree on the static side, this is one area where Yayzi do continually seem to have had issues, however since about 5 days after the migration my IP has been static, though I know from the forums that hasn't been the case for everyone, even where Liam has expressly stated it's been sorted.
I'm based in Leeds and yayzi customer support told me to expect pings of around 10ms... If they have their gateways in London, I'd say calculate with around 8ms
I'm 11ms just south of Newcastle so that's probably not unrealistic. There are plans to have a presence in Manchester for what it's worth.
For what it's worth, indeed. As most connections end in London or are routed via London anyways.
I’m 16ms from Newcastle to London
Adding 4-5ms to go from Washington to Newcastle seems excessive.
I did question the ping when No-one put it in, but they said there was nothing they could do about it
