Hi all,
First post - found ISPreview while searching for some clarification on costing of leased lines. What a great site & forum!! I've already learned loads in past hour!
I have a question, and I'm hoping its not a issue to ask here...?
I've been getting some quotes for a 1Gbps circuit for our business (HP10 post code area) and was impressed with a £700/month/36m/Free install via voucher quote from M24Seven.. I then stumbled on this article - presumably reputable(?): https://www.amvia.co.uk/blog/1gb-leased-line-costs and now I'm confused again.. No one (certainly not the 5 ISPs I asked for quotes from Zen, A&A, M24Seven, BT & TT) was able to come anywhere close to the stated £500/month price OK, I know we're not IN London, but...close..ish. I searched for them (Amvia) on here but no results found...?
Is that pricing accurate..? I understand there are some specialist ISP ( hyperoptic etc..) that might be in this range.. AFAIK, we are not in area covered by any of these... Just normal Openreach green boxes and DSL/FTTx... Have I missed something? Are they presenting "optimal condition" pricing or is that actually a normal range? I've been on SamKnows and used various availability checkers but they are ( pls correct me if wrong!) predominately for DSL/FTTC...? Are there services I can use to investigate all options for a location or is it just a matter of contacting ISPs individually to get a quote? Any tips /advice greatly appreciated!
