YouFibre

Getting this setup today on the 2gig package.

I have a RT-AX55 wifi6 Asus router, how is the router with YouFibre and is it worth either keeping the Asus router or upgrading?

Well the default YouFibre router has much better specs (BE/Wifi7, 6Ghz...) than your AX55. So as long as you don't have issues with it and are not a "power user", the default Sagem one should be an improvement.
 
Does anyone bother logging into the mobile app? I logged in for the first time in ages and saw a popup to update my direct debit details as they are changing provider. I saw no other communications on this!
 
BOOM!!

Looks like the deal is progressing - I’m absolutely gutted.

Glad I read this thread!

In a bid to try and cut some costs I was considering switching to YouFibre as they are half what I'm paying atm (£55/month with Aquiss), but I specifically left VM because of their woeful customer service, so I guess I'll be sticking with Aquiss a bit longer...

I have had good experiences, but mostly with the Netomnia side rather than the first line YouFibre staff (whom I have no real experience with). Everything's done over ticket these days, and the one time I did have to put one in they were OK. Even after the takeover YouFibre will be run independently, FWIW. Aquiss are great, but I do have much better latency on YouFibre FWIW (1ms to Manchester, 7ms to London).

Does anyone use the legacy ssid for anything? I think it's meant for older devices (whatever they are) but not found anything that doesn't connect to main SSID.

Just bought a drone and since I don't have vLANs I'm wondering if it's a better idea to have any electrical devices from China on the guest network as looks like you can segregate it to just Internet only.

Stellar if true. Hopefully it pushes down the pricing of 10G (You 8000) rather than just being a £200+ halo product.

I would expect it to be priced as a halo product, especially if they're having to give you hardware with 25Gb ports on.

The 10Gb package is already halo pricing versus the rest of the stack, so it could still push down its price. My contract's up in a couple of months, and I'm still paying £55/month for You 2000 (albeit with an IP stack). A downward adjustment about now could come in handy.

I have just this weekend signed up to Youfibre after receiving an email advising they will buy me out of my current sky contract, which went up to £71p/m just for broadband.

The only other ISP i have ever been with, was Virgin, and my internet was down more times than a H***ers knickers and never got resolved.

I am in two minds whether to cancel it or not.

Almost two years in here. Rock solid, pings to Manchester ~1.5ms, London 7ms. It went down (with prior notice) once for a router reboot at 1am, and was back up in a few minutes. I'll be renewing without a second thought.

Fair - I just had such a bad experience when I moved to virgin, that i have been very reluctant since.

I am only Pi**ed with Sky because of a mid contract price hike (probably my fault) and the fact that when i went onto their 1gb line, I was getting around 450-500mb until I realised it was an old wifi5 router and was told I would have to pay an additional £5p/m for their WifiMax Router. That has left a sour taste in my mouth for nearly 2yrs.

In theory it will be a separate division anyway, it's Liberty Global putting in the bid not VMO2 (which are themselves just now another division of Liberty Global). It's still subject to CMA review, and you can express your dislike for the amalgamation (and subsequent reduction in competition for consumers) with them until 8th May, if you're so inclined.

Thank you
 
I'll have another think about it then. Aquiss have been solid for me the last 2 years or so - had one outage (totally not their fault - due to someone digging up a cable...), and it was nice to speak to someone who actually knew what they were talking about rather than having to jump through hoops following a script with generic call taker #6739836 multiple times before getting any progress
 
Disappointed to see them merging with VM.
But hopefully the infrastructure will stay reliable. VM round here is terrible.

I resigned last month for another 12 months for 200 for the tiny sum on 20 pounds a month.

Unbeatable price. This will be my 3rd year with them.
