I've been watching Trooli laying in my town for 2 years via one.network after being stuck with 30Mb FTTC. They originally promised service in 7 months. Giganet started 5 months later and promised service last Christmas.
Queue 2 years of waiting and Trooli finally enabled the odd number side last month. (No response to when they would enable the even numbered side where I live despite activating my neighbor opposite from the end of my drive!).
Last week I saw Virgin Media marked up to work on my street on one.network, one week later they had the traffic lights in and half the road dug in a day! They've also marked every other street on the estate for the same work within the next 2 weeks. It took Trooli/Giganet over 6 months to cover a different similar sized areas of the town.
The speed difference for laying fiber between the altnets and VM is crazy. I always said I'd take fiber from the first company to offer it. At this rate it'll be VM... I always thought the altnets stood a chance what with BT pretending my town doesn't exist but with VM now deploying I fear its going to be a wasted investment.
Just thought I'd post in case anyone was interested?
