UFO FTTH in York

[wsh]

I was connected today to the new UFO Cityfibre FTTH service in York and so far so good! TalkTalk are offering it for free until April then it's £21.70 a month all in for the phone and internet.

Very happy with this!

*Starts looking at house prices in York* ... at least until the reality that i'd struggle to afford the HD's to max that 24/7 on a monthly basis let alone live long enough to make use of everything I downloaded.

£21.70 a month? For nearly 1Gb both down and upstream?

... Time to move home .

This!

I pay that for Sky's 38MB fibre and it's absolute ****e gradually got slower and slower ever since we've had it joys of living in the sticks!

Very nice.

£21.70 for 1Gbps? There HAS to be a catch.

Pretty amazing, it will literally be decades before those speeds are freely available to people using BT's infrastructure.

BT are apparently starting a countrywide rollout next year.

Wonder if they have it near Huntington as that's where I'm near!

One of my apprentices is from there and they are currently laying the fibre now. Reckon it'll only be months away.

We started in Rawcliffe last summer and moved onto Clifton in December.

Huntington should be next

They are probably starting a G.fast rollout 2016/2017 with speeds potentially up to 500Mbit downstream depending on the distance to the cabinet/node(upstream 50Mbit?). That's a long way from a symmetrical 1Gb fibre connection - nationwide fibre will arrive one day but, unless a miracle occurs, it would seem to be decades away.

No they aren't

£21.70 for 1Gbps? There HAS to be a catch.

The 'catch' will be that there will be nowhere near enough backhaul capacity to support everybody using 1Gbps simultaneously. But that's normal for consumer services and probably completely irrelevant to normal usage. 'Gigabit' on these sorts of services (Hyperoptic, B4rn, Gigaclear etc.) is there to attract attention and represents that the provider is just letting the ports run at their full speed, it's nothing close to an SLA.
