FTTC deals?

On BT Infinity (Fibre) at the moment and in order to save money I will be switching in the next 2 months.

I'm currently investigating how long it will take to refresh as a new customer under BT's terms and conditions but I am always in the mood to rotate though suppliers so I get the cheapest deal.

My options are as followed.

Sky, PlusNet, SSE, TalkTalk or EE.

I'd like to know who supplies them and how well they perform. I had Post Office Broadband 17mb and it was supplied by TalkTalk. Was absolutely rubbish. Have they changed or are they still extremely bad?
 
If it's FTTC then that all comes from Openreach because there's no fully unbundled version of that product like with ADSL, which means that whether you buy from BTWholesale or via VULA like Sky/TalkTalk then ISPs are still using basically the same product. However ISPs do differ in capacity management and other areas.

Generally I'd probably avoid EE and TalkTalk right now due to the complaint volumes. Meanwhile SSE might be cheap, but they do apply some Traffic Management and that may irritate you. So I'd pick from PlusNet or Sky Broadband, but just remember that the less you pay, the less quality you get back in return.
 
Why are you only looking at the big players?? Plenty of smaller ISPs offering FTTC through Open Reach who DONT traffic manage, DONT censor webpages and DONT use foreign call centres.

The words "cheapest deal" are why.

Ah, but are they?? I have a friend on BTs Infinity 1; due to the much higher BT call costs (even with the free calls), his 40Mb connection costs MORE per month than my 80Mb with no free calls package.

To be fair, it is not a huge amount, but I do get double the speed and far better support than he does.
 
I would avoid EE like the plague after my recent experience with them as the incorrect recipient of repeated correspondence intended for one of their customers, which included his bank details. They pointed me to a forum where the advice was to ignore the letters or throw them away. I don't think I'll be giving my bank information to them anytime soon.

Is there a reason you can't look at 'ZEN' or some smaller supplier, if you do some calculations it doesn't always work out the much more expensive and you get better Customer Service
