FTTC choice

Hi folks,

Hopefully a simple question. I’m shortly moving to a new house that actually has FTTC broadband (although will be retaining my 4G modem to use while I await setup).

I don’t have any fancy requirements, but do want to be able to use my own modem/router, and have the option of a static IP address. I’ll happily pay more for a better service and support, and have read quite a few of the reviews on this site.

At the moment I’m leaning towards Plusnet who appear to be transparent in allowing the use of third party routers, provide user credentials, and offer a static IP.

Is my choice sensible?

Thanks everyone.
 
Plusnet has worked well for me: they are very reasonably priced, and I paid only a one-time £5 charge for static IP. They don't however do IPv6. If that doesn't matter to you, then Plusnet should be fine.

Static IPs and IPv6 are standard with Zen, Aquiss, Cerberus and others, but you pay quite a bit more.

Thanks both. There are some firms here that I’ve heard of, and others that are new to me. I’d forgotten about IPv6. How bizarre that some ISPs still don’t support it 😮

IDNet is appealing as they won‘t send me a modem/router that I’ll never use!

I will continue my research.

Thanks again.
 
Ah sorry, my brain is so FTTP these days :).
