It shouldn’t and really isn’t from experience that difficult.

As noted switching to a 5G service will provide its own unique set of (potential) headaches.

FTTP is very reliable - it’s worth getting a decent ISP. Don’t go low and cheap, spend slightly more and go for a quality ISP. So avoid the likes of Sky, TalkTalk and Vodafone - the sell it cheap and stack it high brigade - if you’re having issues which need a more proactive ISP.

I note your comments, but I am not new to switching. wink

I'm reading up on the mobile thread as previously advised. Hopefully I can find a package that will suit there.

I realise cheap can come with problems, but as I pointed out this is the first time I have needed to end a contract early due to an ISP not reading what I send them.

What package are you on? Is this test via wired or WiFi connection? Try again with wired. If necessary straight into the ONT
