Really? I've only heard good things about them! Have you had any experience with them?

Yes, quite a lot with quite a few people.

Not everyone is happy, they're giving a lot of people a lot of free service. They haven't got that many customers, and the network isn't exactly resilient.

Ask the people who enjoyed an outage of over a day... or the people who are promised service and never get it.

I have no idea why you'd want to switch from an Openreach FTTP service where you get plenty of ISP choice, to one where you have just one choice. There's nothing "local" about them.

Yes, OR offer PIA to JF. I'm not too sure if they cross or overbuild over symmetric FTTP.

PIA means physical access - as in Jurassic can rent use of Openreach poles and ducts. They don't share cable.

And Jurassic isn't installing symmetric FTTP, it's GPON, so it's the same as Openreach FTTP.

Well, they've only rolled out in parts of the South West so far, so I call that fairly local!

That doesn't make someone local.

In reply to a post by Grimers:

Gotcha! Thanks, John. I mean OR do offer PIA so JF can use their poles, but I think JF run their own fibre, thinking about it.

Yes they do, including the drop to your property. Same pole, different drop wire.

Again though, no idea why you'd want to switch to an inferior service.

No they run an XGS-PON network (Adtran OLTs)...business plans are all symmetric 300/300, 500/500 or 900/900. Their resi plans are asymmetric but the upload speeds are nominally greater then offered on the OR network. For example 300/100, 500/200 or 900/300

I wont pass comment on network rollout, outages or apparent lack of stability.

No, the business plans are not symmetric, load of nonsense.

100/20
300/60
500/100
950/200

...are the business plans. Nothing "symmetric" about it.

Yep sorry. I was looking at another window (and ISP) by mistake.

one of the biggiest challenges issues -- di you claim a voucher for the FTTOP servcie as part of the openreach Build -- if so what wee condition of that vouchers you signed up to
