City fibre has arrived, anybody use Octaplus?
Discussion
Full FTTP has arrived at last so considering the providers with City Fibre. I don’t need the full on 900 mb/s probably 150 will be sufficient for general Internet and streaming movies. Quite a few devices (around 20) in the house though.
So looking at the list Octaplus seems to be the cheapest at £21 month for 150.
Mixed reviews online though, anybody got any personal experience for advice please?
Also, I want a powerful WiFi router to go with it to distribute the signal throughout the house, large modern house, brick construction. Currently using a TP-Link Archer VR2800 but seems to drop the signal a lot, so hoping for something better?

You get what you pay for with ISPs in the main. We have Cityfibre through Zen internet - probably a bit more expensive but they have been first class and (touch wood) I don't think we've had any issues whatsoever since we joined. We joined at the time they were providing Technicolor routers, it's not the best but we have a Mesh wifi system anyway so that's not an issue. They usually provide Fritz!Box routers though which I understand to be a lot better.
I’m with giganet on a 900 package £39 they also offer a 150 package for £25 all using the city fibre network.
It’s been bullet proof since it was installed (think about 2 years ago) we had one issue in a stork that damaged a cable and giganet send a mobile sim and router straight away whilst waiting for a fix which was sorted in a couple of days and removed that months bill. There are cheaper out there i could switch to but after experiencing the good customer service I wont be moving.
