FTTP who to buy it from - Recommendations please

Looking at the their map BRSK doesn't cover much area.

It looks like anything that uses openreach is live but I'm interested in City fibre which may give fast speeds(not that I need it) and seems cheaper.

Do openreach use cityfibres ducks and cables because I believe cityfibre were the ones digging up the village?

I've checked loads of companies and there maximum is 900Mbps but I checked EE and they say 1.6Gbps is available so I'm not sure how accurate this is.

It'll be accurate, Openreach can go up to 1800/120 Mbps, but not everyone offers the higher speeds, IDNet offer it (but call it 1700 for some reason).

Thanks, I'm hoping when I order sometime in January Cityfibre will be live which seems to have better speeds at cheaper prices, I'll be happy to ditch VM for everything and have better opportunity to easily switch between providers without faffing around.

Cityfibre would be the better choice if its live, as its usually cheaper for the same speed, and symmetrical upload/download.

As I posted in another thread, Netomnia have indicated they plan to install FTTP around here, which will give me access to the same kind of speed deals.
