Hello all, long time lurker!
I was hoping someone can shine some light on what i've observed.
I'm currently with Virgin Media and my contract renewal was fast approaching after 12 months, so I decided to look at the Openreach options, with a desire to join Zen. I remember 12 months ago that 80/20 services were an option, the block of flats on the other side of the wall (same development) even had G.Fast as an option to select from - I must have just been too far for that.
Anyway, I go to explore my Openreach options, and I see that I'm only being offered average speeds of 2-3Mb/s down, 0.6Mb/s up. I'm baffled, just 12 months ago I was quoted averages close to 70Mb/s.
Could someone maybe explain what's happened? Is this a capacity issue with my cabinet?
I've ended up just renewing with Virgin Media because of this (actually got a decent price).
Hyperoptic have just been granted permission to build in this development, so hopefully they'll be operational after this new 18 month contract expires and I won't be stuck with Virgin Media forever.
