Re: FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please
I think I'll end up ordering openreach but I really want cityfibre which is still showing as planned. I need a short contract I think but that's still 18 months.

Huh  I thought there were only two types of connectivity for hard wired connections, openreach and cable. Is CityFibre a totally different infrastructure?

Sounds like they think they need wayleave from the property or freehold owner. That would apply to any ISP

It would be more accurate to say Cable or FTTP, Openreach is just one FTTP provider.

Openreach own the infrastructure, Sky and others use the network. How are CityFibre creating their own network infrastructure?

Openreach is an fttp provider with their own cables and equipment that different companies can use, Cityfibre is the same as openreach but can offer greater speeds and maybe cheaper.

Openreach don't sell broadband. They just own the network right?
Do CityFibre own the lines they lay? Leasing back to openreach?

How ? By installing their own network and fibres.
Openreach are not the only ones installing FTTP networks, but they are the biggest.

Re: FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please
I have FTTP service from Sky currently 150Mb. Usually pretty reliable. Our new build had FTTP installed from day 1.
I usually get 151Mbps over ethernet and 102Mbps over WiFi, upload is 32Mbps, just done a speed test and it's currently 32mbps on WiFi.
