At the moment it's looking a bit like the Millennium dome in it's first incarnation... A big white... Elephant.

I was reading about Fibre tax, would this be something that is holding back getting a provider on board?

I have sent a number of emails to the Fibrecity team. Haven't had many replies, but this one was in response to one I sent about 2 months back :-

Thank you for your email.

Bournemouth is very still much our primary project we have just started
the marketing and awareness campaign in Dundee as we did with
Bournemouth.

The installation work has begun and should be gathering pace now,
unfortunately we are not yet in a position to announce the service
providers using the connection. We hope to have this information for you
very shortly.

A few updates have been sent out regarding the first installations, I
will check your details on our system to make sure we have your email
address correctly. Can you please confirm your full address and
postcode, as well as your preferred email address to that I can check
this.

Your postcode is in the 3rd area to be connected, meaning that it will
be at least 6-8 months before we start to connect your area. If you
would like to take up another provider at the moment we can still
install the connection for you and you can then switch whenever your
contract ends or you are ready to use the connection.

I hope this helps.

Kind Regards

Paul Knight
Fibrecity

I suppose they are trying to be helpful.

Just read this bit of news:

Sky hits velocity with first UK fibre deal

BSkyB is making its channels available via fibre optic technology in the UK for the first time, over a network capable of delivering 100Mbps, at a time when the government is calling for homes nationwide to receive just 2Mbps. It is also understood to be in discussions with another provider called H2O.

Hmm. I wonder ..... Anyway, I'll have to wait and see. I have just (or am in the process of doing so) moved to another provider. I did make sure I was not locked into a contract period of more than 1 month so, if miracles do happen and fibre arrives on my doorstep and it is not ridiculously expensive, it shouldn't be too difficult to move.

This is about TV, Sky may also be in correspondance with H2O for the same thing, not necessarily internet as well. Sky have been in contact with H2O for some time actually.

In any event there are far worse ISPs than Sky. For all the raving about Be/O2 Sky manage their LLU network better with no congestion and have a superior IP network as a whole compared to the Be/O2 one.

Sky was one of ISPs in the UK which failed to update their DNS data base correctly. This trigged false claims that the PS3 PSN network was faulty even when Virgin media, Open DNS and BT DNS use was fine still. As usual SKY blammed Some one else.
I already altered My virgin media package Deal. so am saying with VM again.
Fibrecity still have the same old web site with no updates still.
The adverts in local press have vanished as has the junk mail on the door mat.

Neither Sky nor any other ISP manually updates DNS it's done automagically based on TTLs provided by authoritative servers.

OK well what ever SKY use don't work correctly unlike Virgin media or BT. SKY users are still having to change DNS address manually on PS3.
