City fibre is decent, if you're in Coventry. It's basically the fibre infrastructure.

Have a look at some of the suppliers and see what you can get.

Haha just moved from EE to vodafone FTTP .. am cancelling within the 14 days and going back to EE , having big issues with download and upload latency on Voda .

I have a feeling that the vodafone router is a bit pants and it struggles to manage traffic well

EE was nion perfect for 2 years 920 down 115 up

Left because of price but would rather pay

thumbs up for EE

I'm with Vodafone and never had any issues. Which router did you get?

I use my own rather than theirs but the internet itself is fine.

We're on Vodafone, £29 p/m with an average speed of around 1Gb. In the year or so since moving the only downtime has been scheduled so can't complain

Been with Virgin since moving 3 years ago, contract coming to an end March so eagerly awaiting the negotiation.

We've been on Virgin Media for a few years now. I signed up for a deal on Broadband + Stream + Sky Sports and TNT Sports access and just call them up when it's due to expire to tell them that I want identical terms or I'll go elsewhere, they always back down.

Mine started off with a horrendously overpriced SIM only plan in there. Stripped that out last year and ended up paying less than the introductory offer.

Was with BT for years and they are now in cahoots with EE and gave me a reasonable price to go with EE a couple of years ago but it’s been garbage. We are limited where we live so have just signed up with Voneus who are a rural provider and are paying off the remaining balance to EE and keeping the cost the same with no price rises for the term which is pretty unheard of. I guess we’ll see if they’re any good in the next few weeks.
