Re: FTTPoD Availability?

Urrrghhhh 750gb monthly limit appears to be a bit low for an "unlimited" 330/30 FTTP connection. I guess that's why their monthly FTTPoD prices are on the low side because bandwidth costs money.

My usage with Fluidone hit over 2TB in the first month, I dread to think what Cerberus would have done to me if I was a customer of theirs LOL

Just phoned up Cerberus networks about FTTP with this policy AUP and told them of my average data usage and they say the maximum usage allowance on FTTC, FTTP are no more than 750GB in a single month. Anything over 750GB will get a warning letter. That's now has put me off. ...

... but with AUP policy about usage allowance warning letter is no good for me.


I totally agree with what j0hn83 said earlier.

I think you'd be looking a gift horse in the mouth by not going for the Cerberus deal. If you get a warning letter for excessive usage and then have your service ended, what could be better? You would then be free to order a native FTTP service from, say, BT, at lower cost and shorter contract. wink

Again, win-win !

Anything over 2TB are about right for FTTP. I remember I use to have a warning letter from few isp's in the past on ADSL2+ for usage allowance abused, the same with Virgin Media as well. Really hate anything with AUP or FUP on it.

I can see FluidOne doesn't have any AUP or FUP on it neither T&C's small print.

Not worth it now as they already know my usage allowance, they won't let me off lightly if I did sign up.

So what?

What can they do which is so terrible? They can't lock you up or fine you, or cut your bits off!

If they're going to terminate your contract, I'd say the sooner the better! smile

Can anyone recommend me of which wireless router are the best for FTTP as the wifi must have at least 330Meg download speed as I know most wireless router are struggle to get above 200Meg.

Any wireless router with FTTP supported as I think openreach will provided me their openreach modem (FTTP)

If speed is that paramount, use Ethernet, not wireless.

Loads are fine with that speed. Please note if you live in an apartment / flat you cannot receive FoD.

I'm using the Netgear R9000 and it gives me the full 310/30 via 802.11ac wifi on my desktop which has an Asus PCE AC-88U 4x4 PCI card installed. I get ~ 200mbps on both our iphone 6 and 125 mbps on my Thinkpad laptop. Wireless streaming to both our MAG 256 and Nvidia shield Google tv box works flawlessly.

If the Netgear R9000 is out of your budget then go for the Netgear R7800 or Synology AC2600 routers, these have the same 2.4 and 5ghz radios as the R9000 but with a less beefier processor.

No such thing as a modem on FTTP wink The Openreach ONT (Optical Network Terminal) installed in your home simply converts/translates the fibre optical signal into a data signal.
