Hello, As the title says anyone taken on this new  Fibre Broadband  supplier ?  Have been with Sky broadband for a number of years but looking to get a new provider as the Sky coast have got so expensive

Have heard a lot of negative comments on the usual suspects " Virgin etc" .Just looking for something reliable and good value. Does it exist. 

Where you can, hard wiring using ethernet is the most successful and easy distribution method. You can use your ring main to port the signal using 3 pin ethernet adaptors (they have to be synced into each other). And then wireless for less data speed-critical applications. 

Link added for illustration, this isn't a recommendation, or not.

I was wondering about the wifi coverage over our little terraced house , at the moment with our Sky broadband we have one of there boosters upstairs and have to say we get good coverage all over the house, even on the patio. I wonder if you can buy a simple plug in booster from Amazon or ebay ?

They've stopped doing the model I use, but this is the up-to-date version of the TP-Link dual band booster.

Have you checked when Community can do the install? It took us close to 9 months to get connected by BT after we placed the order. Do you a fibre cable to your property already as most require new cabling from the fibre box on the pavement outside your home.

Took BT about a month to install our new cable but it was a bumpy ride. At one point I was told installation would be December 23rd. It was actually the following Friday. Staff from Openreach were very helpful though a bit exhausted by the chaos.

The BT connection (£29.99 for two years) is fine. I'm in Nunhead.

Yes have spoken to Community fibre and they tell me a couple of weeks notice is adequate ?? We shall see.

I have been with BT or whatever they call themselves now in the past and wont be going back, any time soon, terrible service and people to deal with.

Thanks

I have had it for months.  It is great to have a download speed of 400+ after BT gave me 11 at the most.  For the first year you are discounted and then for my band it costs £28.  Any difficulties you call the helpline and  it is sorted remotely - I haven't had problems however.

Where abouts in ED are you receiving Community Fibre? I have previously used them at my old rental in SW2, where they were fantastic I must say, but they currently state they are not yet in my new area in SE22?

I'd be interested to know this as well, as I'm thinking of moving from Plusnet

    • Can bet the Co Op is nearing its exit soon. At those prices you might as well buy at waitrose!
    • I dont get complaining if nothing is broken? If you dont like the parcel service just buy your products elsewhere which ship with a different company. simple fix🤷‍♀️
    • It happened again tonight. This time a group of kids ( I hate saying that, because it makes them sound less intimidating than they are), threatened to throw a water bomb at me. When I dared them, they started lobbing them. Then they started saying they were going to kill my dog and one of them jumped over the fence of the Japanese Garden and took a running kick at my dog, who got out of the way. He jumped back over the fence, then came back, came within a meter of me and threw a water bomb really hard at me.  I can't be sure it was exactly the same crowd as last time, though I suspect the male ring leader could be.  The police came and were amazing - as was the park warden - and are fairly confident of the identity of one of them and think they may have tried to arrest him before.  There were maybe as many as 15 of them, aged 16-18, all Caucasian, girls and boys (girls being just as aggressive as the boys). The ring leader is a slight man, dark hair / eyes, possibly with facial hair about 5'6", petite, wearing an all-blue tracksuit.  So please be careful when you're in the park around 6.30 / 7pm. The local SNT have been informed.
