Slightly rocky start, took about a month from installation at the property to the service being available due to issues with the network outside of the property.

Paying for the 600/600mbit package at £29.50/month for 6 months, £55/month thereafter. 900Mbit package available but at £80/month it didn't seem worth it. We do see those speeds or near there pretty much all the time. Download from Steam, Rockstar Games etc is usually pinned at 70-75MB/s (big B!) if left unthrottled. Latency is very low and stable, even on a heavily loaded connection.

Other than the delayed start, they've been pretty good so far from a service perspective. Supplied fibre gateway / router combo is fine, if a little light on features.

Speedtest defaults to their servers:

Speeds to other speedtest servers in the UK consistently returns 2-3ms ping, 600 down, and 300-550 up.
 
ah there you go then. I'm outside of city so won't get this for a while.

There's a few ISP's (such as this one) that are aiming to serve less populated areas. Granted I'm in Colchester which is quite a large town, but they are also building networks in smaller towns and villages in East Anglia:

ISP's can now use Openreach's ducting so the monopoly is slowly being broken... As they're using existing ducting network installation costs are much more feasible for less populated locations.

I just don't get how these speeds are achievable. The backbones/pipes must be massive!
