Max is not getting a Talktalk Business Broadband service, it's from an ISP that no one has heard of - UnchainedISP who use TTB backhaul. He wanted a 12 month contract but seems to be paying a lot for it.frown

That is a fair chunk of money per month, when I spend out for things I look at how many hours I have to work to get that, so I would have to work over 5 hours for that. I don't think I would pay that price just for a bit more speed to be honest.

I thought Zzoomm prices was slightly high for full fibre, but seeing the prices you are paying maybe not. £39 will give 400Mb/s download and 40 up, another tenner will give 400Mb/s upload.

If I go for Zzoomm it will be the 100Mb/s download, 10 upload for £29 a month. If Zzoom was not coming here, and we had G.fast, I would stick with what I have got, not that I would be able to get G.fast as I am over 400metres away from the cabinet, but if I could, I would not.

I hope it works out for you, and you think the cost is worth it, I know you are only paying half.

There is nothing wrong with going for an ISP that no one have heard off, and to be honest I expect someone have heard of it otherwise they would not be around. Sometimes it pays to take the chance, I went with a local wireless ISP a few years ago, and it was fine for a while until they could not cope with the traffic.
They offered me 10Mb/s for the same price I was paying for barely 3 at the time, so it made sense to go for it. But I don't think they realised how many people would sign up to them and towards the end of my two years with them, they just could not cope, they did say they were going to update the system, but by that time FTTC had come here. But I say it was brave for the company to do it as they were and still are a payment processing company.

Sometimes you take your chances, you lose or win. The same with Zzoomm fibre that is coming here, I may take a chance with them, but things are different now for me as I have a pretty good speed that is fine for what I need it for, it comes down to what Plusnet can offer me price wise at the end of my contract.


you are right, the price Max is going to pay is pretty high

Yep. But I didn't use it. I am using my own Gfast router (Zyxel XMG3927-B50A)

The engineer showed me his mobile data from TalkTalk Business Ultrafast 160/30 so he limit my gfast at 160/30 with wholesale UnchainedISP.
