Giganet?

Anybody got experience with Giganet, currently tempted by there 500/70 service, I've placed an order with IDnet for 160/30 but 3 days has passed and still no confirmed date for install.

IDnet is £90 for 550/75 compared to £64 500/70 with a free router and cheaper activation on Giganet.

Hi Matt,

That's great you're tempted by our prices. We recently reduced the cost of our packages to be even more competitive.

We have quite a few satisfied customers so please do check out our Trustpilot page if you're interested: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/giga.net.uk

Alternatively if you have any questions please feel free to drop us a call or a WhatsApp message.

Always happy to help!

Thanks,
Terin, Giganet

I’ve actually just signed up to their Ultrabeam 1000 Home service (FTTP 1000/115), @ £79/m and should be going live in the next 24-48 hrs on port 4 of my ONT. Will let you know how I find their service but I’m very optimistic as I’ve heard great things about them

Just went live this morning but speeds...uurgggghhh...especially the upload (can't seem to get more than 30 Mbps). Even worse, ping times have increased by 10ms compared to my BT FTTP connection. I will ask Giganet support to see if they can improve things otherwise I will cancel within the 14 day cooling off window and stick with my BT line on port 3.

Had an Openreach Engineer visit today who - after testing the ONT - got Openreach second level support to rebuild my FTTP circuit and the Giganet line is now hitting close to maximum speed over WiFi 6:

Ping is still higher than expected but I can't talk yet....

I go live with IDnet on 25th.

WiFi 6 is great.

Gotta love those speeds over WiFi.

WiFi 6 is great.

Gotta love those speeds over WiFi.

Even tests over wifi 5 are impressive (taken on an iphone XS):

But yeah you really need wifi 6 in order to make the most of a gigabit connection wirelessly. These are the link rates I'm getting on my Thinkpad X1 Carbon laptop:

Those results are tremendous mate and loving you're results.

Tell me in preparation for my (almost complete) FTTP installation I have bought an ASUS RT-AX88U Dual Band AX6000 router still sat here new in it's box.

Fingers crossed it should perform similar to your Netgear RAX200 or not far behind with the BT 910 ~ 110 package.

Any thoughts.

If you load balance them can you break a gigabit downstream?
