Just run a check on Sky's website and they show for me. FF75 £25, FF100 £26, FF150 £24.

Interesting to see ISPs doing these price differences across the country.

Sky may quote over OR or CF, so perhaps that is a reason. If its all over OR then perhaps Sky's own installers are more easily available in some postcodes?

Its a possibility, for me no CF but not sure if burble has CF available?

We had fibre installed in our half of village by OR with BDUK funding, I doubt CF or the likes will ever touch a settlement this small.
p.s. I would note that thinkbroadband list FF150 as being the same price on CF as well as OR.

Yesterday the FF100 was £26 here and today its now £38 (the same price as FF900).

With FF150 still at £28 and you said its only £24 in your area so it just shows the prices are moving around depending on what parts of the country Sky are looking for more sign ups.

not sure if you would notice any difference between 80Mb/s and 100

You're right, I don't, but in a way that's the point. The FTTC was fast enough for all my needs, what's the point of paying a lot more for a much faster service that isn't really going to make any difference to me?

TBH, I'd have been perfectly happy to stick with the FTTC indefinitely, but I knew that wasn't going to be an option... and one day the whim suddenly took me and I bit the bullet

I'm totally with you on this. I went from 80/20 (actually 65/16) to 100/20 (actually 110/20). I really didn't need the extra speed I just felt that I ought to switch to the latest technology now that it was available. It did also reduce my monthly bill by £4 which was nice.

To be honest I could have switched earlier to either Swish or Gigaclear but I trust and like IDNet (plus I wanted static IPv4 and IPv6) so waited until OR finally got their kit in the ground.

I want OR to offer an SFP ONT which would plug straight into my gateway.

Just buy one. GPON SFP ONTs are pretty cheap.

How would you register it on OR's network? I don't imagine OR would tell you the (ID? Encryption key?) for your connection.

Replace Swish with Netomnia and it's ditto

basically, you clone it.
