Title: No major problems - over a year in.
Gigaclear have been pretty good so far. They were quick to get the installation done; the engineers who came round probably didn't dig down far enough for the cable but it's OK for us - just a narrow trench in the lawn. Speeds have remained good - 200 to 330 Mbps as a rule. We've had around three outages that I know of but they haven't lasted more than an hour or two and we can survive on mobile data while the fault is being sorted out. I don't like their pricing policy of heavy discounting for the contract length and then a huge hike thereafter. Will try to negotiate a more reasonable price when our contract is at its end - this April. Router works fine and more Linksys nodes are available on eBay at around £30 to £35: they're easy to set up provided you use the Linksys app and not a web browser interface. Wireless speed is excellent: around 200 Mbps between nodes. My old laptop can't keep up on WiFi so I use Ethernet via a mini switch, as it never leaves the office.
