New ISP - Olilo

michty_me · 3 Sep 2025 at 09:01

Has anyone been involved with the beta signup for Olilo? It appears they are aiming for gamers, Home lab enthusiasts etc. I had a brief discussion with them on my area and they do have some beta customers in NE Scotland who are getting approx 12ms pings to the PoP in north London.

Unfortunately, Most of the benefits will be if you are able to get Cityfibre in your area which is unavailable for me currently but I am getting OR installed in the town currently so may be an option still.
It looks like they offer the following:

1 month contract (For Cityfibre)
Static IP /29 IP Block
Full dual stack IPv6 default
DHCP
No CGNAT
BGP/BYOIP Support
No throttling or fair usage totally unlimited
Up to 5G symmetric speeds
Realtime monitoring of the connection

Just had a look on their website,prices look good.

Updated a rather important point I missed, one month contracts for Cityfibre capable lines.

It's the guy who ran Yayzi so I'd be wary about using them for anything important (e.g. my ability to work from home) until they've explained what they've learned from that

I wasn't aware of that. I was curious about the background of them and how they became Olilo. There were a few comments on a reddit thread I found mentioning Yayzi but it wasn't elaborated on. I guess the one month contract could be enticing for trial.

Never a fan of a company who seem to push Discord as one of their main means of communication.

Yeah this is true, it doesn't fill me with joy having that as the option of Comms.

Heya All,

Firstly hi, I'm Aydan the COO and Co-Founder of Olilo. Just thought I would jump in here to clear some things up for you

Discord is not the only way to contact us, we push discord because its more live chat than email would be. The community behind our discord is great as most issues do seem to be resolved by a simple fix.

As for the ex Yayzi part this has been explained by Liam himself here - https://terminal.olilo.co.uk/threads/liam-mulryan-yayzi-olilo-whats-the-sitch-thread.20/

We offer 30 day contracts on CityFibre as they have allowed us to be on 30 day terms with them. We are pushing to get 30 days on openreach but it takes a little bit more time.

Any questions do feel free to ask and I will do my best to answer for you!

I've just read the link regarding the ex-yayzi explanation so out of interest, What is going to be done differently to mitigate the same outcome if/when you become a bigger ISP? What's in place to prevent a re-occurrence? From my understanding (Could be wrong) that Olilo want to keep a basic staff level?
