one word...WOW!

I've been stuck on a 2mbps line for the past 3 years with no hope of fibre optic in my area; until... i got a letter in the post from Hyperoptic offering a whopping 1Gbps internet connection. Being a techy i thought i was going to have a heart attack...

I ordered the 1Gbps service and the installation was done swiftly hassle free. Very simple to setup even for a non techy. The speed is AMAZING i'm getting close to 940mbps without any problems, and its FAST FAST FAST! (Xbox online gaming haven't been the same again :P)

The only bad point is when i leave my house i have to deal with everyone else's slow internet hehe lol

Customer service - i have been with many ISP's in the past Virgin, Sky, BT, O2, the customer service i receive from Hyperoptic is EXCELLENT. Everyone is really helpful on the phone and if any problems occur, then matters are escalated immediately and problems get fixed straight away.

if you want superfast broadband then hyperoptic is the way forward!

Hyperoptic are very good at marketing spin. They get the press coverage, but can they live up to the hype?

Well, yes, mostly. The speeds are good. I'm on the 1Gig package. Nothing really needs these speeds however it is nice to be able to use services like iPlayer and have no buffering.

Latency to the BBC site is on average 1ms, for those techies who are wondering:
Minimum = 1ms, Maximum = 2ms, Average = 1ms

I could do without the VOIP line, and at £12.50 a month you do wonder how they can say you can ditch your BT line, when they make you pay a similar fee a month for VOIP, which if you hardly use it, it seems a lot of money, but it's only effectively £2.50 more to have the line, as you pay more for the broadband if you don't have it. Naked Broadband should be the future, but I assume it's a financial decision.

Hyperoptic is installed mostly in places that can't get Infinity, such as large blocks of flats, so it was 7Mbps max with my current ISP, or this, and I'm glad I did.

With the ratings, not sure what to put for services. Hyperoptic don't really provide any. Not even an SMTP gateway, so this may be an issue for some. I use Google Apps for my outgoing mail.

I would recommend Hyperoptic if it's available in your building, and if it's not, and you can't get Infinity, then register your interest, pressure your neighbours into doing the same, tell your management company you want it, show them there's interest in the product.

Title: WOW!
I recently visited London to see the Paralympic games. I stayed in an apartment in the Canary Wharf district which had internet provided by Hyperoptic. Apart from the excellent atmosphere in the Olympic Park the second highlight of the weekend has to be the excellent internet provided in the apartment. My son was able to enjoy uninterupted and instant online wireless gaming and I was able to download files I have been trying to download to my iphone for months at home in an instant. We were also able to watch videos on iplayer and You Tube immediately with no buffering what-so-ever. Where all the other ISP's make promises they cannot keep regarding speed, this one delivers.

Amazing service. 100 Mb/s up, and down. Installation was very swift and professional.

Customer support is brilliant, I had some very specific requirements for my LAN and the support agents bent over backwards to help, and even made some custom changes to my router to help me resolve my issues. I hope their level of service remains as personal and helpful as they continue to grow their user base.

Every other ISP should be looking at Hyperoptic to learn how good broadband and customer service can really be.

I'm using the 100 meg service (I decided not to opt for the 1 Gig!) and it's sensational. Multiple users - no problem, on-demand TV and films - no problem, it's just effortless.

The installation was hassle-free although after a couple of days I realised my router had an intermittent fault. I phoned Hyperoptic and they delivered a replacement by hand that evening. That's service!

I was speaking to an estate agent and he told me that flats within our development are likely to sell and rent more easily and for higher prices now the Hyperoptic service is available, especially as the broadband service to other buildings in the area is so poor. An added bonus!

If you're able to get the service just do it. It really is a no-brainer!
