Toob coming to us soon

Hi,
Toob are currently 'in build' status for our area in Gosport.
Been seeing them cabling for last month and and putting in Toob kit/covers all around my area.
Some work next week will be very close to where I live.
Wondering how long it takes form this build to going live?

Currently have Sky Broadband 80/20. Get 75Mbps and 20 Mbps, been pretty reliable for many years with that.
No fibre from Openreach here yet or for a while yet.

Toob at £25 a month looks so good value and heard such good things from those that have it in Soton.

We have telegraph poles all round my streets, and mine is on opposite side of street to house.
Assume toob will be using the same poles to connect?

Do not care that landline goes, as do not really use it and mobile signal is great here.
But notice they use cg-nat, so will not be able to use my cctv home server the same way (with a dynamic ip linking to my sky wan address).
See they charge £8 for a static ip, but that sounds very steep. Is that price negotiable?
Or maybe will have to think of some other way to do it, any ideas?

I have always used the Sky routers, currently the sr203 and it works well without issues and get a good wifi range about 150 feet down the garden and all across the house with it.
Anyone know what the Toob router is like and what router it is based on?
 
As for poles, I've seen them put up poles/use ducting in some places where they are building were I am in Southampton (Sholing), they don't install a phoneline it just fibre to house nothing else. if price is set at £8 for static IP then it probably won't be negotiable, you could try speaking with them and try getting price down, don't hurt in asking! as got the router i can't say as I'm still waiting for my area to go live, but i will be using my own (TP-Link Archer AX55 but most likely change it not sure yet.), (they only started doing my area in past 1/2 months) and said it can take up to 6 months for an area to go live.
 
I got Toob installed as soon as it was available in September 2022 and my street pole and associated cabinets were installed in June 2021, so it's impossible to say when you'll actually go live based on street furniture alone.

I use Opnsense router and required a routable IP so pay for the £8/month add-on. Still, it ends up at only £33/mo for a 900/900 connection, absolute bargain in my eyes when I was paying that (out of contract admittedly) for 80/20 talktalk FTTC before.

The Toob router is a Sagemcom device and it's fairly basic as most ISP supplied routers are. You cannot define your own subnet and can only pick from 3 pre-defined entries. It also needs rebooting often for Ipv6 routing to work, though Toob will not admit this.
