TalkTalk Fiber - Opinions?

I've recently moved in to a new apartment and I'm looking at TalkTalk's best fiber package which sould give me 69Mb/19Mb and with 6 months half price it comes in at £13.75 a month if the line rental is paid up front which is my plan.

Has anybody here got TalkTalk fiber and how close to your quoted speeds to you get?

Just for info my post code is WS12 3EA if anyone can recommend a suitable alternative for a similar price?

Ive been with them since February. Always get 40/2.

I went up to 80/20 for a few days and was getting that speed too.

Speed quoted was 66/20.

Cheapest Fibre provider I could find.

Well that's only a shade over the medium fiber package. I'm not going to take the risk of paying for the large package and getting speeds similar to the medium one.

A shade? 66 is closer to 76 than it is to 38 by a huge margin, and the quoted speeds are usually lower than what you actually get.

What? He's getting 40/2 when quoted to get 66/20.

It sounds like he downgraded to the 40/2 package but his line is capable of 66/20?
