There's no cap through Hyperoptic. Lucky really as since signing up I've discovered the joys of on-demand film and TV (in HD of course!)

Still a very niche operator but will likely increase its footprint where its able too, alot of problems with enabling tower blocks minly the permission from the owner.

Luckily our managing agents (Stonedale, part of the Peverel Group) and our freeholder had the foresight to see an upgrade of this type benefits everyone. I have heard that Stonedale has received such good feedback that it is recommending installation in other buildings it manages.

So are you saying that fibre connections are not affected by water ingress, vermin and suchlike ?

1Gbps .... drooool..

What are the prices for the services by the way.

£50 a month for a gig. setup typically £40 but will vary

The tubing is the main protection from rodents, but yes they could destroy fibre in the same way as with copper.

Ducts themselves are not sealed to the elements, i.e. can flood. Waterpoot enclosures etc keep copper joints clean, and similar for fibre.

I'm paying £37.50 for Hyperoptic's 100 meg service with phone line. The 1 gig service is another £25. Here's a link to Hyperoptic's site:
