Any proof of this?

It is not a Leased Line service with guaranteed throughput but uses a shared infrastructure, so is still subject to congestion/contention in the same way that there is no guarantee that you can drive at the speed limit on all roads all the time.

At least you won't have to worry about cross-talk, SNR margins, line attenuation etc., and no more checking maximum attainable rates.

LOL how true! And don't have to worry about Error Seconds either.

MrSaffron - do u have any TBB speed test history from any customers of Cerberus isp?

Forget to add:

I know FTTC is up to speed (eg: up to 80Meg / up to 20Meg) but does FTTP is the same up to speed eg: up to 330Meg / up to 30Meg?

Is your FTTP always on 330/30 spot on 24/7 ?

Yeah getting full line speeds 24/7. Speed test taken just now:

As others have said FTTP, like vdsl2, adsl2+, adsl1 etc is still a contended service however a quality ISP would ask Openreach to investigate if speeds weren't consistent on FTTP 24/7 - at least that's what Fluidone told me. I think there's a user on here who' s on a BT Infinity 4 330/30 service (native FTTP) and gets less than 200mbps throughput at peak times yet BT won't do anything about it, saying its perfectly normal...

Sound like Fluidone are the best isp by miles ahead. Cos I never heard of Cerberus before, there is no reviews on it. Scary bit as we don't know what Cerberus are like could be worse than BT Infinity 4 for FTTP

Not bad - lose about 20Meg off download. But upload is spot on.

TBB BQM is pretty good but I thought FTTP should be less than 5ms ping?

I live in North Scotland so pings are never going to be in single digits, even on FTTP.

TBH i hadn't heard of Fluidone either before ordering and they turned out ok. I'm sure Cerberus will be fine.

Looking here near the bottom of their page Ceberus state:

Currently only the 330/30Mbps variant of FTTP is available as On Demand. Once installed rental pricing is the same.

They are clearly stating that their FTTPoD monthly pricing is the same as native FTTP - despite Openreach charging them differently. I'm guessing they are making their money by putting a premium on the install costs. For example, they would only pay Openreach £1050 and then charge you £2000 for a Band B installation. Though there is also an Openreach fixed connection charge of £750 on FTTPoD.
