I have seen the price for full fibre from Plusnet. All must come with 24 months contract might put off customers of signing up. I am sure other ISPs are much cheaper than that with standard 12 months contract.

They're taking a hit on the installation fee so understandable that there are minimum contracts.  From Openreach based ISPs. I've not seen better deals so far.  The alt-nets can offer better deals as they don't have anti-competitive rules to prevent them.  If Openreach were left to their own devices they'd just price everyone out of the market.

The only puzzling thing is that Talk Talk offer 900 for I think around £50 (their checker is broken right now so cannot confirm) which you'd think Plusnet would want to compete with.

And TalkTalk will discount their packages, you can get £500 for closer to £35

Vodafone appear to let you keep your landline + no upfront costs. 
I'm an existing Vodafone customer so there is a discount included.  I think it means normally £25 but discounted to £23 if I tie it in with my mobile.

I can't seem to find any more info about retaining your landline.  Bearing in mind I have a Tunstall alarm modem that runs over the [copper] landline.

Kitz - that's a good price vodafone full fibre 100 for £25 a month and keep your landline number and line for your Tunstall alarm modem. I think it Vodafone 100 in both down and up if I am correct? As They probably using cityfibre. Good luck with your FTTP.

It says 100 down 18 up.

We have no city fibre.  Just Openreach.

That's a great bonus up from FTTC 76/18 to FTTP 100/18 - better than nothing!

Its a bit tight though, I had 100/30 on Digital Region over VDSL.  The only reason OR was limited to 76/18 was a technical one to minimise crosstalk.

Still it could be worse, with Virgin doing 50/5 for £38, 108/10 for £44, 213/20 for £50, 362/36 for £56, 1130/52 for £60, its downright insane pricing there.

IMO FTTP should have a base package of 100/20 across all ISPs, its good enough for most people I'd expect and you can't get the price low enough for slower to be worth it.
