Very happy with Toob, everything working amazing, very good for £25 a month .
This is with their own router and a cat5 cable, need to get some cat6 ones from Amazon today.
Edit..can someone remind me how to alter the size of the image? I remember vaguely you have to add a "s" or "l" etc somewhere in the line but can't remember where.

I've just tried my iPhone 12 on AC WiFi on a 1Gbps HyperOptic and it's averaging about 300-350Mbps. About the same on my S21 Ultra - About 400Mbps uploads on the Ultra though, weirdly.
I've a WiFi 6 router sat here I keep meaning to swap in.

Well, light/electrons travel real far in a millisecond, but you can end up with even lower pings on HO.
What have people's experiences been of the Nokia router HO supply with faster packages, any good? Seen a number of people on Reddit and other sites saying they went back to their previous one (Zyxel?) because of stability issues, just wondered whether those were issues early-on.
Supposed to be getting this installed on Monday. Not convinced it'll happen, it showed up as available to order a few weeks ago and a couple of neighbours put orders in; one was cancelled due to a system error and the other had an engineer come out who said the building isn't connected yet and wouldn't be for some time. I did ask the question when I rearranged my install but they didn't really answer it so I suppose we'll see, perhaps if they keep sending installers out who then can't get the job done they'll take some notice and actually start communicating with us a bit better.
Would seem my doubts were unfounded, the installation on Monday went perfectly and the guy was happy to run the cable and install the kit in the room I wanted, so for the first time in a long time, my PC is hard wired into the router again.
A before and after of Speedtest from my phone on the day:
It's crazy to think that tiny cable running along the skirting on the right of the image is delivering 1Gbps speeds.
Downloading a game from Steam at 114MB/sec has also been a sight to behold.

I just had my hyperoptics installed and did a speed test. very similar to what BT was giving me but i noticed loaded latency at 17ms on hyperoptics where loaded latency was 6ms on BT. Both normal latency came in at 4ms. Not complaining but that is a difference worth noting and wonder if anyone else experienced the same?
Wow HO latency is incredible looking at your ping results, blows mine out of the water @jscheah.
I'm on Vodafone's FTTP which uses CityFibre's build, here's my results to add to the list.
It was 8ms~ at one point, but they seemed to have improved their network which has taken it to ~2ms

is hyperoptic available for home owners ie hosues not flats?
Soldato
Depends where you are, but yes.
I used to live in Farnborough, and a few of the properties around me had access to Hyperoptic (I was in a flat).
Yes, but you're far more likely to encounter other FTTP networks than Hyperoptic in a house.

not many offer 1gbit upload and download connections
