Has anyone ever heard of them?

750-900 Mbps. £36 per month .

That's 10x the speed I get with BT and cheaper as well but then I've never had any issues with BT so any guru's out there know anything about them? They have 3 5 star reviews on Trust pilot Rolling Eyes .

Do you really need that speed I would've thought it adequate unless there are multiple heavy users.
BT must be pricey I have line rental and similar speed for £26 from SSE
I don't include calls there's no mobile cover here but wifi calling with 1p mobile is 1p/minute to any phone it is hard to use more than a couple of pounds per month.

BT totally unlimited with land line rental and land line phone is £52 a month for me. Fuck knows how it's crept up to that level. I haven't even got BT sports or anything.

Far too much, it's easy enough to change, they rely on customer inertia.

I felt the same a few months ago, they’re relying on you not bothering to change and they won’t back down even if you say you’re switching. I moved to Sky’s bum-basic Superfast which is a match for BT’s but currently £28 for 18 months.

Just don’t answer the phone afterwards, they bombarded me with calls, presumably trying to flog extras like TV.

Change ISP and you'll be able to get the same speed fibre with a landline for less than half what you're currently paying BT.

Exactly this. I told Vodafone to sod off a couple of years ago cos my plan had crept from 28 a month to the mid thirties. Same plan for new customers was 23, and they refused to match it. Switched to another provider and got a better service for 10 quid a month less.

Just for some perspective I currently get >200MB fibre from Virgin Media. I have that split down the middle by cabling the PCs with 100MB Ethernet and leaving everything else on the WiFi. Only downloading game updates from Steam comes close to tapping out 100MB Shocked
