Indeed.

I may be wrong but as I understand it, it is £36 including phone line on Pulse 8 that's what I signed up for the P8 Home with fixed IP. Uno is charging me £35 for BB £10 plus calls which average out including VAT at £55 pm.

My apologies, Tim. I had completely forgotten that the line rental was included in the £36 (or £38 with Fixed IP).

My single thread TBB speeds were a bit variable when I was with Pulse 8, but I am testing on an iMac which is quite sensitive to browser and AV combinations, so this may have had nothing to do with Pulse8's underlying TTw backhaul.

So exactly what price will you be paying for this Pulse8 VDSL2 SMPF deal assuming it is possible? Presumably you also want line rental separately with Pulse8 but the pricing that I have seen appears to be for a MPF fiber and phone (TTB?) bundle + fixed IP...

£38 if more I presume I will have to digitally sign another contract.

FTTC MPF looks the most likely option with Pulse8 - however if you can get a SMPF broadband and line rental deal + fixed IP for £38 on a one month minimum term without cease and activation fees that would certainly suit your current needs.

Good luck.

In what way does the MPF deal not satisfy his needs?

The MPF solution generates an Uno cease fee, Bob, whereas SMPF doesn't. Can't quite get my head around why, but that is where this thread started.

Ah.

But I've just remembered from the days I was thinking seriously about going with Pulse8 that they do not do SMPF broadband, so the question doesn't arise.

They do line rental by itself, so you can have your broadband elsewhere like I did, but not the other way round.

Tims SMPF order is taking both landline and broadband from Pulse8 so no such worries.

I'm curious as to why a cease was being charged though.

Under what circumstances is the cease fee charged and why does migrating to SMPF rather than MPF make a difference to it?

Isn't Banger migrating from a TTB backhaul to TTB backhaul service?

I was under the impression the cease fee was charged by BT Wholesale for ceasing a broadband order they provided.
