Was that off the back of the Zen promotion?Well it doesn't look like I'm going anywhere. Sky knocked the phone and fibre down to £32 from £44 and gave me a new Sky Q hub for nowt.

Good stuff!I didn't even mention Zen. I just asked the Sky man on the phone to see if I could get a better deal and he came up with that figure right away. General consensus is not to accept Sky's first offer but it was reasonable enough to me and when he said I could have the new router for nothing, I practically bit his hand off.
TBH I've been so happy with Zen that 24 months didn't give me even a second of doubt. I'd signed up within an hour of reading the original post.+ Fixed price contract
- 24 months long
2nd provider to offer fixed price contracts? TT being the first.
I had an issue a few months ago where my speed dropped from 60 down to around 20 -- Zen were flawless, they chased OpenReach multiple times a day, I ended up having 3 different types of engineers coming out over a week or so.Zen failed on multiple times to agree to send out an engineer for low speeds. Sky sent one without hesitation, as did PlusNet recently.
Wow thanks for pointing this out. I'm an existing Zen customer (I *love* them), and they happily moved me across, saving me £11 a month (well, minus the one-off £35 sign-up fee). That's £229 saving over the 2 year contract, not too shabby!
I think they are doing this for a bit of certainty, locking a bunch of customers in for two years?
Also interested in knowing this as I'm out of contract with BT and trying to decide between Plusnet (£29.99) or Zen (£36pcm)As a Plusnet customer who has never had an issue, sell me Zen..
(I use my own networking kit)
theoretically, yes, but it likely wouldn't be much. Basically if you're closer to the ISP it could maybe shave a millisecond or so off but you'd likely not notice it in the grand scheme of things, unless of course you have things like interleaving active (basically doubles ping) although it should automatic turn on/off with fibre.From a technical standpoint, could Zen have better pings than Plusnet on VDSL?
Just check on plusnet by clicking next and putting in your number that you are in a LLU area, as the offer for me was £29.99/m but then it said im outside so it is actually £36.99Also interested in knowing this as I'm out of contract with BT and trying to decide between Plusnet (£29.99) or Zen (£36pcm)
Just received the Fritz router and modem from Zen - ugly as hell but wondering if anyone thinks it would be better to use over my old N66u + BTopenreach modem? Given the Fritz is AC and new I imagine it will be better than the N66u?
Currently my N66u is connected to my 24 port switch and my media NAS.
