I was going to order EE 1800/120 but I am glad I didn't cos I don't need that kind of speed. FTTP 900/110 will be fine.  ;D

The checker shows max 1000/220, so you wouldn't be able to anyway.

Wrong.  Openreach checker say can get 1600/115 only if you order via Zen, Freeola, IDnet, EE and Vodafone as they provided 2.5Gb ONT but I chosen not bother about it because it will be expensive monthly cost. I only got router support 1Gbps lan port and wan port.
I know my PC pci network motherboard support 2.5Gbps for ethernet lan port.


It Looks like EE has removed Openreach FTTP 1800/120 from their website as it now disappears. (I was wrong, it was hidden under FTTP Ultimate option)

Only offer up to 1000/115.

Don't know why is this and what is the reason for this?

In reality, its self satisfaction, its only the heaviest of households that 900 is recommended for.
Cost hasnt even been mentioned.

Thanks kitz, once FTTP is installing. There will be no more dslstats, no more dlm. Just enjoy the internet!  ;D ;)

Updated over EE - they do have Openreach available for my address with speed of 1600/115 but far out of my budget cost! No need for it. It's was hidden under EE Ultimate option for FTTP. See screenshot below.

Kitz - I have order FTTP 900/110 with Aquiss ISP first 3 months £27.50 then there after will be £55.00 a month on a 12 months contract. No setup, activation or installation charge. Included free static IP address. Which I am more than happy to use it as my current Sogfast Office Pro 330/50 with Cerberus (rolling monthly contract) can cancel it after FTTP was installed. SoGfast cost me £60 per month. So, FTTP 900/100 is win win cost budget for me.  :)

They are pretty very quick job from start to finish for FTTP. Very impressive.

Stage 1: 9 x Poles go up Dec 15th & 16th
Stage 2: 9 x Poles overhead fibre cable Dec 16th & 17th
Stage 3: Pull fibre cable from 1 x pole to underground pathway chamber fibre aggregation nodes & 3 x poles fibre splitter using Optical Fibre Cleaver Dec 18th & 19th
Stage 4: Final check & commissioning Dec 19th
Stage 5: Checker updated on BTW Checker (Saturday December 20th after 5pm) to say FTTP now ready to order (Openreach Checker will follow soon to updated)
Stage 6: Checker updated on Openreach Checker (Monday December 22nd after 12am) to say FTTP Available to order now with FTTP up to 1600Mbps down and up to 115Mbps up

Took them just 6 days from December 15th to 20th

That’s the BTw checker.
They do not sell 1800 so 1000 is the max it’ll ever show

BTw Checker show 1000/220 (but 220 never sold to residential only 115) Can do 220 but very very expensive!

Openreach Checker show 1600/115 (most ISPs selling it with direct via Openreach not BTWholesale ISPs)
