Rather than move the Fritz!Box to under the TV there is already a TP-Link LS1005G Gigabit 5-Port switch there so my plan is to use that, hopefully it'll be good enough.

All my wireless and ethernet equipment are connected to my FTTP and are behaving as expected, very happy with everything.

Re: FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please
 

Yes I often use that and it's far better than my VM one but with all the messing around I'm not posting it though like we all did years ago.

I avoid using Fast.com the results are bad which ever internet I use too.

Not sure how to use that when adding a test.

My IP of course!

Re: FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please
 

I didn't think I would take advantage and notice a speed bump from 260Mbit to 900Mbit because I don't use a PC to download from anymore because mostly everything is streamed. However my PS5 Pro connects to the Playstation network at 900Mbit so I now realise how much of a convenience the higher speed will make and can never go back!

Brsk ISP is soon going to be known as Youfibre.

Re: FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please
 

You mean they have been bought out by Youfibre.

Re: FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please
 

Is brsk being taken over or going away?

No, this isn’t a takeover. Brsk and YouFibre are sister companies and this is a planned move to bring them together under one brand. The same people and teams are still here - we’re just operating under a single, unified name going forward.

So I've had Zen FTTP Full Fibre 900 for a month now and it's been great and rock solid. I usually get pretty much my expected speed on Ethernet and after changing my DNS to use Cloudflare if I was to game online I can expect a latency of 8 at best and 21 at worse with both being very stable.

Even though I have zero packet loss on all the tests I've done my Thinkbroadband quality monitor looks a little iffy though showing a little packet loss but my connection doesn't appear to represent what the graph shows so I'm not worrying about that. On my VM connection if the graph showed packet loss I would experience it my end.

I see my package is £5 cheaper per month so that's a little annoying.

Re: FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please
 

I did Thinkbroadband for years with both my VM and Zen connections. The Zen graph was usually very clean with not much happening whereas the VM chart was far "noisier" latency wise. Also it would regularly go red with 100% packet loss even though the connection was still working. I suspect the pings were being blocked but could only resolve it by either enabling/disabling flood protection or rebooting the router.
Has the price of the 900 meg service gone down? it was £50 last time I looked (openreach service).

Re: FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please
 

Youfibre put a leaflet through my door today, saying they are now available.

I rang up to question this with them and the confirmed it went live a few days ago.
Apparently they feed the BT poles, so I'll get another overhead line (same as my current FTTP).

Order placed for the end of the month (900 up/down).

Re: FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please
 

The price is £45 on their website now and it appears to not be on sale.

My thinkbroadband graph is very clean apart from some red but it's not affecting my connection quality at all so it doesn't worry me.

Nice, it's a shame they can't use the same cable and ONT. I'm reluctant to move to Cityfibre when it becomes available because of lack of space for another ONT.

Re: FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please
 

I have space for two, I'll probably run dual FTTP for a a few months, like I did with VM when I first got FTTP.
