Anyone had any experience of these people? They are claiming they can install FTTP (independent of BT) in our Oxfordshire village with speeds of 250mbps. But it's not clear if it's really fttp from the exchange (as they say in the blurb) or a wireless access point followed by fibre (which they give in an example picture).

BT Infinity 2, 43mbs down 9mbs up

They do two main permutations

1. Traditional fixed wireless i.e. microwave to a mast (or fibre) and then you have a small wireless antenna on your home

2. FTTP which may use microwave to the local distribution box, or have a fibre feed and then FTTP from there to all the homes in area

Microwave links for backhaul when setup correctly should be reliable and fast.
