Vorboss

Looking at a new dedicated business connection and considering several options.

So has anyone experience with Vorboss in London?

Any thoughts (and experience especially) kindly received 😀

I suspect they will be decent quality but not cheap.

Hopefully. The commercials aren't too bad for an uncontended 10G DIA service, certainly better than Community Fibre Biz could get to comparably and a shorter 12-month term.

So if it goes completely pear-shaped all is not lost. Looking at a very ballpark 6 to 9 month build, at this point in time, as they use their own tails but via PIA

Bumping this to see if you can keep us in the loop if you go for it. They have covered a street in Knightsbridge that is close to our new office for southern domination, and I like the shiny 10gb claims.

Sure. At the moment Vorboss have completed the survey and have been doing some prep works in the street. Everything so far quite positive and no trouble.

I’ve asked them to accelerate the build from our initial discussions on timings, as in the intervening time our current supplier has decided to play silly [censored] with price uplifts. So it may go in sooner if I terminate that particular agreement earlier than expected (if it goes into breach and we have an alternative ready to go).

Getting a further update from Vorboss on Tuesday hopefully with respect to progress on the external build.

Vorboss installed their new footway chamber adjacent to the existing Openreach chamber yesterday. Finishing off the groundworks and patching it all up today.

They will run up to this new chamber using OR PIA up to the OR box, then jump across into their chamber to install a splice node enclosure, then jump back via the OR chamber and use the existing OR ducting and swept-tee into the property.

They successfully patched up the footpath and made good earlier.

Now awaiting the next stage; cable / duct pull + blow

Nice work - all connected up yet?

I’ve not checked in with them recently, however they were due to complete the external works around the end of this month / early next. I’ll have a better idea in a few weeks when I have another catchup call.

Incidentally I had an update from my PM at Vorboss a day or so after I posted. External build elements are due to complete now by mid-September after some delays with obtaining street permits from the local authority. No other delays reported.
