Andrews and Arnold or IDNET for me. I have a gigabit FTTP service from IDNET (over Openreach FTTP) and it has been very reliable.
edit: it’d be on A&A if they did 1000/115 as an option.
I’d avoid pretty much all of the standard retail ISPs, and especially Virgin Media. VM are very aware they are not part of the normal migration setup for UK broadband, and exploit it to the hilt. Their support sucks, and cancellation is downright abusive.
- 00deadbeef 5y agoVirgin is the only option for me. I can get 20Mbps VDSL from an OpenReach user like AAISP or 1Gbps from Virgin. Pretty easy choice.
- hughrr 5y agoI would take the VDSL
- 00deadbeef 5y agoYou must not have much need to upload. I’d struggle with “up to” 3Mbps. I also wouldn’t enjoy downloading a 60GB from Steam with that download speed either.
- hughrr 5y agoI downloaded GTA V on 20Mbit. I’ve now got 5 people on 66Mbit.
- 00deadbeef 5y agoGTA isn't even that big. MW is 231GB. That would tie up a 20Mbps connection for over 24 hours, which to me is unacceptable when I both work from home and run my own business. The biggest problem, as I said, though, is upload. 3Mbps is basically useless when I need to run off-site backups, videoconference, push files to servers, etc. > I’ve now got 5 people on 66Mbit. That's nice for you but that's about 13Mbps each which isn't much less than 20Mbps and they're unlikely to all be using it heavily at the same time, so in reality they probably get more than 20Mbps each. And as I said, my choice is 20Mbps vs 1Gbps. No 66Mbps option. It's not really a choice at all.
