Yeah I think its a PLC requirement but if not a PLC dont need to be registered, do I have that right?

I agree, not every business will be registered with Companies House but Fluidone will not process your order unless you provide a company registration no. They don't care if you are a sole trader operating out of your attic or own a multinational firm with plush offices in Canary Wharf - they just need your company to be registered with Companies House. Easy enough to do though

Btw they will also do a credit check on your company.

At little unnecessary?

You've been asking ISPs for years how much it will cost you etc. - https://community.plus.net/t5/Fibre-Broadband/FTTPoD...

You claimed the old pricing was a rip off, so how does that change now that pricing is substantially higher?

As for the money in your account, I don't see the relevance. That's like saying I have £200,000 in equity in a house so I would consider buying a Ferrari.

Good spot AndyHCZ but thats was back in 2014 as that time I have no job, no money.

But it's much clearly that Plusnet and ICUK saying I am on Band F so the cost at the moment from openreach as of now are:

Band F £4,375.00
Annual Rental £1,188.00
Fixed Connection £750.00

Total cost £6,313.00
after VAT cost £7,575.60

and two years of monthly rental inc vat £118.80

total repayment with vat inclusive: £10,426.80

That's not bad. Leave me just £9,600 in account

And when G.fast comes along at 20% of the monthly cost with no installation and the same speed, you would be rather annoyed I would say.

We should see G.fast rolled out this year as far as commercial deployment goes, so it's not inconceivable you see it sooner than later.

The problem will be your ISP. Plusnet still don't have FTTP as a launched product, so I guess G.fast would be quite similar.

I don't expect Cuckoo Oak will see G.Fast this year, next year nor a year after that. Probably around 2020 to 2025. I just know it. So, no chance of G.Fast and as for Plusnet, if they don't want to provided G.Fast. Then I will look another isp who willing have G.Fast. But, I think BT isp will be the one to start G.Fast for customers this year.

That link goes to a feature on FTTH (FTTP), so it's pointless directing it at PN as they don't provide the infrastructure.

It's a 3 year minimum term on FTTPod. That's why it's only available to business's.

No idea if Cerberus are attempting to sell this to residential customers but if they are I have no idea how they are getting past the 2 year limit imposed by OfCom.

edit: definitely 3 years on Cerberus too. http://blog.cerberusnetworks.co.uk/technical-briefin...

That was openreach pricing I refer to. Nothing to do with Cerberus.

First year annual rental £1188.00 ex vat
then 2 years of £118.80 monthly charge inc vat

so both of it are 3 years total
