I'm checking on bidb regularly and they're getting closer. Still can't order yet though.
I was also tracking the work via bidb still some work down my road so didnt expect it to go live.

They have laid the main fibre run in my area, unfortunately the final design hasn't been progressed. They came back to be and confirmed they will have completed by the end of next year. Thankfully, Openreach installed FTTP to my property a few months ago so have picked up a 12 month contract with Aquiss.

Mine has been spot on since I entered contract.
They did some maintenance the other evening overnight, some people had a bit of disruption but I had no issues.
Still getting the full 1gbps on speedtests.
Yesterday engineer arrived at 8am bang on and did the install, took around 3 hours and happily routed the cable to my computer desk and did a nice tidy job all round.
Once he left I installed my own router and contact support to get my static IP assigned that should be done today they say this takes up to 24 hours.
Speed tests seem to struggle with the amount of bandwidth to test but if I select Youfibre test server I am getting 941Mbps.
This morning I contacted Plusnet to process my cancellation saving me around £150 in total overall contract costs.
Overall great experience and everyone's friendly this reminds me of the old days when Plusnet was independent.

Glad to hear it went smoothly for you.
What router did you go for out of curiosity?
Also what speeds do you get from fast.com? I always seem to pull 1.2Gbps from there, and 940mbps from speedtest.net. Fully wired with Cat 6. (Same figures for upload)
They gave me a Eero 6 but I am using my ASUS DSL-AX82U [DSL disabled] with AsusWRT installed.
It has taken them all week but this morning it looks like staticIP has been setup now to fix any programs not working like Parsec etc.
I am getting the same results as you on the speed tests, I find speedtest.net various but I think this is to do with there servers.
Not true. You're just on the ISP's LAN, and they're masquerading your traffic through their shared WAN IP address. It's trivial to log your LAN users, whether at home or when running an ISP.I guess one benefit of being behind CGNAT is the ISP has no reliable chance of logging your internet usage!
It all comes down to implementation I guess. Challenges with CGNAT logging are well documented and researched. How much of a challenge that is will come down to ISP configuration and how well aligned they want to be with logging legislation and requirements. High NAT Session allowance for users will increase demand, the type and configuration of gateway devices conducting CGNAT could increase complexity.
It's not at all a trivial task.
The boxes that ISPs buy to handle CGNAT will have compliance with their legal obligations as feature number one on the list. No ISP is going to be operating with an inability to tell law enforcement which one of their subscribers was connecting from a specific IP and port at a specific time.

Not all of them do. Or a degree of logging is implemented but client identification from a poor implementation is largely unachievable.
Outside of that reverse resolving activity from server logs back to a specific ISP user behind CGNAT is fraught with risk in terms of accuracy and reliability. Especially so when any given platform may only log the IP and nothing else.

Doesn't RIPA demand 12 months of history of websites visited, communications (from and to whom) etc?
A website cant account for CGNAT though, quite often the log contains an IP address but not much else in terms of identifying data (Other than the platform specific data such as username etc).
To resolve a CGNAT user the accessed server will need to log IP, Remote Port and have very accurate timestamping. If the server doesnt log ports any given connection has used then its game over.

The cost of that would signifciantly outweigh the benefit for home use in my opinion
10G NIC's required along with all the other bits.
I keep finding that I struggle to max out my 1gbps line, download servers never let me use the full whack!
These types of services are not really intended to be used, if that makes sense. The ongoing cost increases for YouFibre to deliver 8Gbps instead of 500Mbps is marginal because in a residential setting it's sitting idle most of the time. What it does is creates press coverage that otherwise might have to be paid for, and increases the margin on the product in question. People buying 8Gbps will spend a few weeks hammering the connection to ensure their internal network is up to the task and probably spend thousands on new hardware, and then the usage profile will look exactly the same as a 150Mbps customer, except that customer now represents a guaranteed 24 months of £99/month revenue which can be waved in front of investors.

So your taking it right?
I've been doing the same.
They have started work at the top of my road, but on the opposite side.
I can't see me getting connected until the end of next month. :/
