...and a number of people in these forums said I would get congestion on Sky fibre too after it got more popular. Figured an update is in order.

Not a single day or hour of congestion in the whole time I have been with them...until now. Check out that evil blip at 3:30am this morning!

In all seriousness though, there was a day outage in December 2013 (2 years ago) when copper thieves ransacked an important exchange and took tons of people offline in the process. Another time there was a 6 hour outage which affected the area.

So to summarize, 4 years of service, 1.3 days down time, no congestion at all, always hit the full download speed, latency has stayed rock bottom and there has never been any jitter issues.

So glad I moved from the horrible Virgin Media broadband which constantly had congestion problems over many years. Also glad the nay-sayers who said I would get congestion on Sky Fibre were wrong

Although it's refreshing not having the stress of bad broadband, I would like to try Andrews and Arnold out as an ISP but wish they were a bit cheaper. My extremely bad VM broadband experience has permanently made me worried about switching provider from one that just works flawlessly day after day though. Scarred for life

So how many of you VM customers who were not suffering before, have suffered their congestion since I left for broadband bliss?
