FTTP Latency/Routing questions - CityFibre vs Netomnia


[link to this post]
 
Hey, hoping some knowledgeable individuals here might be able to shed some light on this for me.

I'm currently on Virgin M500 (HFC) but after a lot of FTTP building activity in my area, I'm looking to move to a fibre provider. I had a letter from Netomnia in February, but it seems they are still working on getting my part of the street live, whereas CityFibre has already gone live here.

I'm based in West Yorkshire. From what I can see there are a number of CF resellers of a decent quality, but I can't find too much information about YouFibre - though most of the complaints I can see appear to be either about CGNAT or length of time to install, reviews about the service seem to be quite good.

I appreciate that with fibre, barring bad network management, discrepancies in latency are likely to be minimal - however I'm a perfectionist at heart. That being the case, the deciding factor of who I go with in the long term is probably going to be whoever pings lowest/has the best routing. I've seen user XGS_Is_On is in my area and has a 10G connection with YouFibre, but any other input would be welcome.

Is anyone in my general vicinity willing to give an indication of average pings to:

1.1.1.1
8.8.8.8
151.101.192.81 (bbc.co.uk)
35.186.203.90 (multiplay.co.uk)

Also one in Germany:
109.230.224.189

And let me know whether you're with YouFibre or a CityFibre reseller? I could just try them both out on a 1 month contract, but would rather not have to have two separate ONTs installed if I can help it! Thanks in advance.
