I appreciate that Octopus is an interested party but the same can be said for most of the businesses that it buys out such as RED heat pumps - now being marketed by Octopus as Cosy. The investors appear to have a very good eye for what has long-term potential.

Getting back to Cuckoo. A monthly price of £43 for a 900Mbps service along with a £249! Eero router and a £200 gift card will make a lot of people take a look.

Hmm, a router which you have to set up from a mobile phone because you can't use it from a web browser? For which you need an Amazon account? They could say it's worth £549, but to me that is a distinct non positive.

Eero may also have built in Amazon Echo (alexa) functionality. Even if provided for free, I would leave unplugged. Thankfully modern FTTP networks provide an Ethernet ONT. (except Nexfibre).

I have a Linksys Velop ax4200 from Swish that I do not use for this reason
I would have liked to have set it up for use in an emergency but the hoops you have to jump through just to set it up without creating an account is ridiculous.

It does work out of the box but I have no idea what the defaults are on this device.
Probably not good with it being consumer oriented so set for ease of use e.g. everything open.

Of coarse you could go with the already established genuine Octaplus 900meg for £27 p/m.

No sign of Cuckoo in my town, we have a local Alt Net that charges £29 a month for symmetric 900 Mbps. The Amazon Eero is not worth £249 in my opinion, far too fixed function.

I wonder what the ASA might think about suggestions that it is a Nationwide service.
