In reply to a post by Thaumaturge:

In a PM a the end of Feb, Chris from Swish on this Forum told me that my house was "indicated to go RFS (ready for service) October 2022". On 19/4/22, a Swish Sales Executive emailed me that "Your property is aimed to go ready for service for 12/4/2022". It's 22/4/22, and although I have a pre-order I haven't heard anything further.

I feel your frustration, its worth remembering some here were told they were getting Openreach full fibre years ago and they are still waiting so try not to beat up on Swish Fibre as all infrastructure providers are all having the same issues. If Chris told you October 2022 your best waiting until then as the other estimate seems somewhat optimistic.

Got the "We are building to your property" email for my flat! I'm working separately with a member of the Swish team to iron out wayleave "fun", but I don't think that'll end up causing any issues.

1) Does Swish support IPv6 natively? IPv6 is in development with plans to perform further testing with our early adopters in the next 3 months

Any news on IPv6? It looks like your IPv6 prefix (2a04:c880::/32) is currently only being announced by Hurricane Electric, and not your "usual" upstreams (Arelion, Cogent, and T-Mobile / Sprint), so I suspect the trial may not have started yet.

I live in Princes Risborough, and I've discovered that my street is scheduled in the Build Updates for this week (13 - 21/5) - indeed, engineers have been down the street, marking out the routes of the existing utilities. As there are BT chambers (and presumably ducts) in the street, hopefully Swish will use PIAs and not have to dig trenches to lay their conduit.

Following a suggestion from a neighbour, I visited Swish's Hub in Marlow, and spent about half an hour getting answers on a number of build, technical and ordering questions from two of their guys - I would recommend this face-to-face approach to anyone living in the area, who wants to understand more about Swish's service offerings.

I'm intending to use my own (TP-Link) router, instead of the Plume box, as I have about 40 devices on my network (Ethernet and wifi), which I want to be able to manage through my router; I also have a (TP-Link) mesh network. I have assigned static LAN IP addresses to some of these devices, and I have set up a VPN, using No-IP DDNS.

What I'm not clear about, having followed this thread: will CGNAT prevent me from continuing to use the DDNS, and should I obtain a static IP address from Swish (£3 / month)? Also, will my devices keep their existing LAN IP addresses, without my needing to reassign them?

Hi Mike.

Feel free to PM me your address and I'll clarify whether the build is PIA, our own infrastructure or a mixture of both.

If you can confirm the type/protocol of VPN you're using and I'll look to provide some clarity re CGNAT.

I foresee no reason why your LAN subnet and any associated assignments would be affected by moving to our service or any other service for that matter.

Many thanks.

Chris.

Hi,

I'm in Alton, however our road seems to have been missed out roads around us are able to order, we're GU34 4DZ- Grange Gardens, are you going to come to us?

Thanks

Rob

Grange Gardens is an unadopted private road, which is often the reason for a street being missed from a rollout.

Swish might reply themselves but that's more than likely the reason.

Hi Rob.

Grange Gardens is within our build plans - please PM me if you have any further queries.

All the best.

Chris.

Hi Chris,
How is the scheduled build going for Alton?
Still OK for this Autumn?

Hi smouty

If you could PM me your address and I'll confirm the target live date for your property.

All the best.

Chris.

I've also pinged you Swish_Fibre about expected availabilty.

From those who have waited for Swish in their area, how long was it between 'Coming Soon' and 'Build Underway'?

To 'Service Available'? 8 weeks? 8 months? I'm trying to work out if I need to obtain a 12 month contract with someone as I'm in the 'Coming Soon' situation though can see planned works on one.network.
