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

    • Get on those waiting lists asap if you haven't already. I waited till after the birth and it was very challenging getting a place once our daughter turned 1.  She ended up at LEYF Camberwell (we had to accept 2 days to start and gradually got to ramp up 5 days). She absolutely loved it there after an initial shaky start but her key worker and team worked really hard to settle her in. They spent a lot of time giving her cuddles and making her feel safe. Great outdoor space and really caring, enthusiastic staff with low turnover. Would highly recommend. 
    • We are expecting a baby in a few months, and have heard about the epic waiting lists for nurseries in the area... We have been to look around, and are considering, LEYF Camberwell, N Family Club Camberwell and Purple Jay Herne Hill. Would love to hear any feedback from experienced parents!
    • Most of the shops in LL have too small a footprint. That's why we have so few chains. That won't change quickly. 
    • Errr could it be because of the noise pollution coming from it perhaps? You may not be able to hear it where you live but anyone on the Dulwich Village side of Lordship Lane all the way to beyond Brockwell Park is being disturbed by it - the sound wash from it is huge and that's a lot of people. As I said before we know people who live nearer to Brockwell Park to us and they say it is unbearable.   To be fair the Emirates moved to a piece of wasteland between railway tracks so it actually in a less densely populated area now and the council actually goes out of their way to try to mitigate the impact on local residents and yes, other than the concerts, you could hear a pin drop on matchdays! 😉
