Hi,
I have been with TalkTalk on OR 900mbps for a long time (2+ years) and I absolutely enjoy that service. However, my use case requires a much higher upload speed than the meager 105mbps available on OR and I have been patiently waiting for an AltNet to show up.
In November 2022, CF showed up in our street and the wider local area (south Warrington) and started their build. They seemed to be using many of OR underground ducts and infrastructure which I thought would speed things up. Their vans and personnel started to disappear around April/May 2023 which again I interpreted as they will go live very soon. My contract with TT ran out in May 2023 and I have not signed for another contract whilst waiting for CF to go live, which means I have been overpaying for many months now (£49).
I got in touch with CF but with no success, they basically said they will let me know when they go live.
I understand that no one here can predict when CF will offer their services to me, but surely many other people have been in a similar situation and I'm seeking advice. I'm wondering if I can sign up with TT or Vodafone on OR and when CF goes lives, can I ask them to switch me to CF to exploit the higher upload speed? Has anyone done anything like this? Thanks a lot.
