YouFibre

The ONT, might be a weakness, the first ONT the installer fitted yesterday, was faulty.

Yeah that's interesting, we signed up for the 500/500 package and in week one I was aware of 15 service outages with the majority of them requiring a restart of the ONT. Since it was swapped out it seems to be stable (touch wood!)

Contractors were out yesterday running fiber between telephone poles, seems like I should be able to order from the end of the month

It seems it might not have been the ONT after all (see my later post), rather it was an inadequate termination between outdoor, and indoor fibre.

Can somebody confirm what routers are used on the 2000 and 8000 service, their website seems to indicate it the eero pro but other things I've seen contradict that and say it's the ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 on 8000 and 2000 is Asus ET12 AXE11000, it's a bit confusing!

Netomnia have informed me that my address is ready for service but youfibre is still showing the currently building message. Anyone know how long it usually takes from here?

Mine was about 3 months after the letter, just ordered 8000 service to be installed on Friday, 8000 Gbps is overkill but given 2000 is £49.99 I thought I'd go the whole hog!! I'll get the Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000

Funny thing is I still haven’t got a letter from Youfibre lol but my address is ready for service ‍

Yeah I contacted Netomnia and they said the ISP in my area was YouFibre, I didn't get a letter from YouFibre I just got an email to say services where ready (I had been on their website and registered my interest)

Decided that You8000 was just too much, just don't need that kinda bandwidth, it would just sit idle most of the time. You 2000 is going to be a very healthy bump from my current Aquiss 1000Mbps/115Mbps.

My internal LAN is 10Gbps and it wouldn't have been 'cool' but my sensible head won

Can't wait to have the upload speeds upgraded, also gave me a chance to interact with YouFibre support a couple of times and I've been impressed.

Yes, their support is really really good for an ISP!!

I've come from Aquiss and I can't fault them but YouFibre basically gives me double the download 9x the upload for the same money!

Anyone know how 8000 is delivered? SFP or Copper into the router?
I’m needing to upgrade my NIC in my firewall soon and trying to decide between a 2.5 or 10gb card.

How would this work? The ROG only has a 2.5GBit WAN port. Have YouFibre configured it to use one of the 10GBit LAN ports to terminate the WAN connection or something?

 

[HEADRAT]

No idea and now won’t find out as I’ve decided to go for You2000

The press release for the 8Gbps service (https://www.ispreview.co.uk/index.p...fibre-launch-8gbps-uk-home-fibre-package.html) says the router they use is an Asus ROG Rapture GT-AXE16000 with one of the 10Gb ports used as WAN.
