Lit Fibre

No shaping that I’ve ever seen, I’ve maxed out usenet connections to the full 1Gb the majority of the time. They’ve supplied as advertised.

Biggest change for me was making sure my usenet downloader was sending to a fast M.2 NVMe drive.
 
It gives you the option of moving to someone like Yayzi when your contract renews and getting 2.3Gbps symmetric, or going really cheap with Vodafone (they are bad, don't do that)
 
Nice to have options when my renewal comes up next April, mind you we had Openreach and Virgin installed around the same time as Lit so I'm properly spoilt for choice.

I thought I'd start a thread for anyone else looking at or already with Lit fibre.

I'm having the Lit500 service connected to my house next week (3rd Aug) so can provide some feedback. So far the process was very swift. I placed an order online and about an hour later on a Saturday I was called back to arrange an appointment.

Openreach installed an external box on my house way back in January but after Talk Talk offered to switch my current FTTC to FTTP for free they failed to turn up twice! So I told them to cancel the order and I waited for Lit to start offering a service in my are

New user here ( don't understand how I didn't come to this forum years ago!) . So yesterday Virgin Broadband ( 1Giig bundled package which has been getting worse & worse) went down for most part of day for whole street and think even over a wider area of the town .

Final proverbial straw that broke Camel's back ( but blessing was on Black Friday !) and after flurry of rants on street WhatsApp group was recommended Lit fibre and took plunge. I opted for the 1Gig package but when going through to pay was offered loads of additional upgrades / options etc I wish this was made clear earlier in process as I would have done my research prior to starting signup but at that point with frustrations with VM I just wanted quick sign up / least hassle so declined all optional extras. Am now doubting if that was a wise move or if there was one of those options that you'd highly recommend or have been in my situation and changed mind and subsequently added to your package ?

A bit about my current set-up I have the Virgin Hub 4 but in modem mode and plugged into my ORBI mesh system ( bought ages ago , but am wondering if not time for an upgrade as times have moved on with devices like laptop / iPhone WIFI etc , recommendations for easiest integration with Lit fibre please ?) which would hope to be able to reuse on day one of install ?

Install is due in a couple of weeks and would also in addition to above request ask what if anything I should ask installer / look out for etc.

Thanks in advance and I hope this is proper place for me to post this ?

Regards

Plug the Lit Fibre ONT into your Orbi box and it will just work. Only thing to be aware of is to have a think about where the fibre cable comes into your house and where you want the ONT to be put, they can be moved afterwards but would need an engineer to come back out and do it.
