Provider at New Build

I am going to be moving into my new home inless than a weeks time, this is a new build but I am having trouble finding any info on providers all the sites I try even this one always come up with an error.

When I did my house viewing they did say about full fibre will be there.

this is my new address details Valerian Gardens, CB7 5WR

Hopefully some one can help

Postcode is not showing up on Openreach and that is because the full fibre is from SeeTheLight (IFNL) see https://www.directsavetelecom.co.uk/availability-res... which is one of the providers who does sell their full fibre service

Usually estates like this have some information on the 3 or 4 providers that will offer a service

I did get a leaflet today not impressed at all the 4 providers are not offering anything special at all yet they are charging almost premium prices and it's suppose to be full fibre but the speeds on offer are poor some even have monthly download limits (do not even have proper websites to order on)

Other thing that annoys me is they want £100+ which makes no sense it's new build it's already installed then cheek of either not provider a router or wanting another £10 for one to be sent to me.

Sounds like a new kind of scam. I wonder if the developer gets a kick-back?

wouldn't surprise me if they do.

It's silly the houses and work places all around the new build site are covered by the main providers bt/sky/talktalk who are offering 80/20 cheaper than 38/10.

i don't see the point of full fibre if all you get is low speed packages or even monthly limits seems to defeat the whole point

With Direct Save i see 300/30 for £61.50 with no limits...which i personally would say is a good price?

I know someone who is on this service in Guildford and is very happy with it.

The thing is, I guess they need to cover their costs for providing service some how. You wouldn�t expect the shiny new house to be free ?

As an aside, how do estates/developments like this become exempt from the USO for a copper network ?

Too small to enforce a USO, only BT and Kingston in Hull have that pleasure, and unadopted roads prevent BT building network there

As per other reply on checking this postcode all providers for fibre offer 300/30 for under £70 a month on a unlimited plan.

So not sure what the issue here is?

Not sure where you're looking but SeeTheLight are offering FTTP packages from 60/12 Mbps to 300/60 Mbps for a reasonable £28-£60 pm - all services come with unlimited usage and a one-off connection fee of £99. You can even increase your upload speeds to 150 Mbps for an additional premium. Most people would give an arm and a leg to be in your position!
