All I can say was for me Zen's fttp latency was excellent at around 5.5ms. I moved to you fibre (1gb/1gb) fttp back in May and the latency is no where near it. Its more than double and is not improving at present. Latency is more important to me than speed so I will likely be returning to an openreach based service when  my contract is up.

I had  no issues with speed or the zen gea issues for the duration of my contract. Was on 900/110 product.

It was noteworthy to me that Zen's GEA latency was quite a bit better than their BTW latency, and was also quite a bit better than my current AAISP connection, which is also BTW.  Shame about the rest of the connection (for me!).

The more I look into it the more I get confused. Just seems like a minefield in choosing to a point I'd just going to do Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.

"xx has this xx backhaul but xx can also take from xx which in turn makes xx slower than xx because that xx has the backhaul of xx"

You get the idea.

I had Sky FTTC for 10 years and dropped it in favour of having 2 x AAISP lines. The recent news about publishing subscriber data to third parties is somewhat concerning for me, if I were choosing an ISP over Openreach FTTP I'd have to go AAISP out of following their principles.
