Out of interest how does your Thinkbroadband graph look if you run one?

This is from yesterday.

Thank you, it looks similar to my Openreach.

Neighbour is having Openreach FTTP installed so I managed to take a look inside the manhole opposite the houses where it all connects to, not sure what I'm looking at but I wanted the photo.

I guess the newer cables on the right is the FTTP.

GiffGaffs opening offers are great £5 per month for 6 months on all their deals. 900mbps for example is £5 for 6 months 18 months £32 making it £25.25 per month over the 2 years

Someone should kick you in and close the lid

You're just jealous because you're stuck with flappy bird wireless internet.

CityFibre is now available to order with speeds upto 2.5Gbps up and down for less than what I pay for Openreach.

I'm still in contract with Zen for 12 months but will likely switch after that.

Can you find a deal where they'll cover your cancellation fees?

I googled to see if I could move to CityFibre and stay with my current ISP ZEN but it doesn't look like it but Zen is only offering 900mbit when everyone else is offering 2.3+Gbps so I'll just wait it out as I'm currently paying £50 a month for that, I'm just pleased I have unlimited options now rather than just crappy VM.
