Depending on the size of your apartment complex and interest from your neighbours, my company might cable your building.

Has to be cost effective, but part of our business is to do what Hyperoptic do, only better.

Controlled WiFi solution.

The 2.4GHz noise in a hyperoptic building causes a lot of interference and unreliable WiFi... they finally realised and are changing their offering - the guy who came up with their plan was fired not long ago.
 
With only three 2.4GHz channel options and no guarantee that people aren't going to use their own router with your service, use a provider that isn't you, or leave the access points enabled on their Wi-Fi printers I'm not sure how effectively you can manage unlicensed spectrum. Got a whitepaper?

We garner an exclusivity contract with the building owner.

what difference does that make to the points raised by Caged though?

you'll still have people using their own equipment or people with FTTC or regular broadband with other providers via their phone line etc..

I've not noticed any reliability issues with my wifi tbh..
 
Can't really fault BT Infinity 2 tbh. I'd happily go faster but I don't find it limiting. It's reliable, latency is incredibly stable, the provided router is more than acceptable.

 
I have considered changing providers a few times but all the ads I see all say a max download limit of 30GB a month. where with VM I have no limits

I recently formatted all my SSDs and started over. steam on its own had 80GB of games on steam to download, another 30GB from Origin and then 30GB from Uplay and last 16GB from Blizzard so in total 156GB. this still did not include some games I did not play very often which I left out but using these max 30GB a month limit would have taken 6 months and that's without me buying any new games or downloading anything else.
 


Paying for 200 Gamer. Never get below 195, even at peak times. I was happy to pay the little extra for traffic priority, as there are at least 10K students in loughborough alone.

It's just a Gb Ethernet termination on mine - I swapped in a decent router.
