I feel as though history is repeating itself with all the various small fibre providers laying fibre all over the country. Not too dissimilar to what happened with cable originally, it seems inevitable that they'll start merging and buying each other out.

Yes, I did feel that too. I'm sure it's just a temporary thing while they get their name out there and they'll put the prices up.
Whatever happens, I'm just happy the fibre is being laid. We're so behind the rest of Europe in the FTTH game.
It's funny how as soon as Toob announce they're building a Gigabit Fiber broadband company in Southampton, Virgin announce that Southampton will be one of the first cities in the UK to get Virgin's 1000Mbps.
Virgin Media have publicly vowed to "destroy" Toob, but I wonder how they'll try to compete. Their prices for comparable internet are so much more expensive than Toob.
