need a new internet provider as I'm being discontinued/cut off (see my other relevant thread for details)

so i need internet asap, don't want to pay lots for one, but good speeds, I'm happy with 80Mb+

how do i find out what speeds i can get here ?
 

This will be pretty accurate, it's the same data ISPs use to determine what speeds they'll be able to offer you.
Just bear in mind that "FTTP on Demand" doesn't necessarily mean you can get FTTP to your property without huge setup fees, but there's a chance.
I also like using https://order.faelix.net/product/broadband/ as a nicer interface with transparent pricing.

As far as providers go:


Note: I think there might be an issue with the database lookups at the moment.

thank you
 
The top of that Swish screenshot shows it's not yet ready and to register for info. Looks like VDSL FTTC is available at least, and judging from what you're being quoted, you're fairly close to the cabinet. Just pick whatever ISP you prefer in that case, speeds will be similar as they all rely on Openreach's network, it all matters on price and the customer support they have, if you do end up needing to contact them.

I think it is ready, I think you can get more information that's all

I checked open reach (BT) and they offer free upgrade to full fiber when it becomes available

If you look at my other screen shot, says Swish full fiber is available

Contacted Swish today and yes its available here

no waiting times on the phone, got straight to someone

asked a lot of questions, found out more about the company and how they tend to operate

there booking times wise, lots of availability at the moment, so I can get them here this week if I wanted to
went for the 18th (as that's the time Sky are taking over and will be downstairs only)

got a call back from an engineer, one will be tomorrow to do a pre screening and have a chat with me before i confirm going ahead free of charge

So far, I am impressed, I feel very happy about this company so far
Lets hope they hold true
