I noticed; but it is still a good and relevant question for the thread.

No, they don't use PPPoE according to another post on here from a Swish employee.

Do the altnets such as Swish use PPPoE?

LilaConnect use IPoE

Don't forget TT Business FTTP prices are ex Vat and it's a 24-month minimum term with a setup fee that comes to another £1.25pm over the term.

Pulse8 is monthly contract with no setup or leaving charges, at least when migrating in or out.

TTB includes a router. Pulse8 does not. Similarly with a new installation.

So you are right if a 24-month term is acceptable, especially if the user doesn't have a suitable unlocked router.

Sure. OP hasn’t specified if they need to go 30-day rolling contract, so I guess up to them to do the maths on what it would work out based on a given length of time.

YouFibre use good old DHCP

To paraphrase Scott Adams:

Happy days for you chief. However doesn’t really help the OP (unless of course they’re in an area cabled up by YouFibre).

I’d expect most (all?) AltNets that have started fresh with a ‘clean sheet’ so to speak to adopt IPoE/DHCP unless their senior network architects are in lurve with PPPoE from a former life or they’ve bought a skip load of old BRAS on eBay. I’m being completely facetious btw 🤣

Thanks everyone, some useful info. It's OR FTTP only, no alt-nets (until City Fibre come in the next few years).

I use a combination of Untangle, Sophos XG and OPNsense, so I'm good thanks.
