My G.fast was installed today upstair my pc room. Openreach put new socket with new cable this afternoon. Very happy overall with my new ISP.
-
The suspense is killing me, who is the new ISP?
-
New ISP: https://www.syscomm.co.uk/services/connectivity/gfast/
-
Last week you said you we’re having a different product and No g.fast ???
-
Changed me mind! G.fast for now until FTTP in 2026
-
:no: :no: :no: :no:
-
Was this a new drop cable? Would explain why there are no observed speeds for VDSL.
But £60 a month including VAT. That is almost 30% more than what I paid for 330/50 on Zen (though that was through retention offers over the years).
-
Cos it brand new line (drop cable). Other line is separate VDSL2 for my daughter she paying for it. See screenshot below
-
I wish I had all that money to burn on buying a speed I stated multiple times people dont need all while posting that prices were too high and looking to save money as much as possible.
I mean this seems like trolling its such a farse. You signed up for a 24 month contract paying all that cash.... the worst deal so far I have seen.
-
My money! I can do what I want!

Yes just dont moan about it. I really dont know if you can actually handle making sound financial decisions Bulldog.
"G.fast are far expensive! Can’t matched FTTP 330/50 price! Not paying Openreach or ISP more for G.fast!"
-
:no: :no: :no: :no:
I couldn't agree more.
@adslmax, do you actually remember the misery your last G.fast service caused you and why do you think this one will be any different?
I also can't understand why you need two services into your house when you were both managing perfectly well on a single 80/20 VDSL connection.
As you have said it's your money and you can do as you want with it but my opinion is that this is a total waste.
-

Exactly, although the usual install price for G.Fast including the modem is around £165 excluding VAT, so not a bad price for G.Fast
-
adslmax is a nice guy at heart, but mad obsessed with this kind of thing.
If you entertain his questions, don't be surprised by the outcomes.

Yeah the engineer bring Gfast modem mean I now got two Gfast modems. Madness! I have to pay £60 one off fee for new installation fee and £60 a month for 2 years (inc VAT) but my other line SoGEA 80/20 will be cease soon. So me and my daughter will pay half £30 each. It's a win win situation!
G.fast 330/50 is great for both of us in long term as I know FTTP won't be here until 2025/26

Thanks Blacksheep. No more stats checked cos don't need it. I have to stop looked at it.

That wont happen, you had a near perfect FTTC line and even then you posted when it dropped 1mb where as G.Fast can be far more variable.
I truly hope you keep to your words this time but as has happened repeatedly you dont, maybe this time will be different now you are paying so much money.
-
Lastly the engineer say the test kit showed max rate for Gfast 388 down and 56 up but capped at 330/50. Good line.

What are you using to route it around the property, wireless mesh or are you cabling or?
-
I can't check as using openreach gfast modem as there is no stats to check. My other zyxel gfast router is in the cupboard in the box. That's will stop me looking at the stats. Also best to leave it alone with openreach gfast modem.

The engineer spend 3 hours to drop wire at the back garden instead of front garden as my upstair pc room is the back garden room. To put new socket there. The downstair hallway master socket for other SoGEA 80/20 that will cease soon.
-
... So me and my daughter will pay half £30 each. It's a win win situation!
...
I would say that 'win win' would be the 80/20 VDSL from BT at £20 per month, which would do everything you need and leave £40 in your pocket, but that's just me.

Me too. I think most people would be happy at 80/20 for £20.
-

I'm afraid I dont believe it.
This all started because your near perfect 80/20 dropped to just 79762. That is just 237kbps, not enough to even humanly notice... and all was back to normal a couple of days later.
Now you have subjected yourself to g.fast variable speeds. We've been here before. Twice, thrice, more? (ive lost count) and you end up unhappy and this time paying far more than you can afford.
There will be tears later down the line and you will go crying until you try find some way to weasel out of the contract ensuring another ISP is out of pocket. You are so obsessed with your connection you couldn't even be bothered to say 2 words about someone who has been enormously patient and helpful to you over the past goodness knows how many years. Its made me realise Im wasting my time too and why I didn't comment in the other thread where I perhaps may have been less polite. Go back look at the thread from last week how many times you changed your mind.
I don't expect to see a single complaint about what is an insane thing for you to have done.
If you have one ounce of sense, you would cancel it whilst you can.

To try stop temptation. How much for the zyxel? May as well try get some money if you're not going to use it?

I am going to selling it if anyone want it
-

As for me I was suppose to move to BT but was cancelled. Cos I think extra £10 a month worth to have G.fast 330/50 to pay £30 a month while my daughter can pay £30 as well. So far no complaint.

That's fine. I won't metion here if I am unhappy with G.fast but I have to switch off mind now and enjoy watching you tube, nowtv, quicker downloading to test all Linux operating system, Raspberry pi 4, CCTV and the list go on. Also upload to storage is pretty better than VDSL as 50Meg upload are a bonus.

So your household is still down £40 every month. That's £480 every year. I don't know about you but I can do a lot of nice things with £480. :no:

Really he has probably spent near that with all the 4g/5g shenanigans and sims he tried in the past 6 months on ISP Review.

No real surprise there from the only person to request a refund of their £10 subscription to MDWS when it announced it's closure in March 2018!
