CityFibre + TOOB

[jesusbuiltmycar]

I have FTTP via CityFibre and for the last 2 years I have been using Vodafone. The service has bee very reliable but Vodafone have put the prices up yet again.

I am out of contract and have the option of switching t TOOB which is half the price for higher speed (500 Mbs -> 900Mbs not that the extra throughput is needed).

Are TOOB Reliable?

Am I right to assume that as it is still CityFibre's network the reliability should be the same?

Yeh the reliability will be the same as your using the same network. You will get sent a new router however.

I wanted to switch from Vodafone (Cityfibre) but none of the others offered the phone line still, we live in a signal black spot so still use a phone line.

There was a decent thread here, which might cover a lot of your questions. It is also worth knowing that toob have their own network as well as utilising CF it all depends on where you live

We swapped to Toob Sept last year. It’s been very good on the whole. A couple of minor outages, plus some pre warned overnight works. Ours is a Toob network I believe. We chose not to have a landline. The standard Linksys router they supply is very good btw.

My neighbour had Toob, no problems at all.
I recall £29 for 900mbps
plus an Amazon voucher..
The no in contract rises appeals to me.
I’m switching as soon as my Virgin BB contract expires in a few months.
Overhead fibre here, arrived this year.

Live near a city centre and Toob still not available, they planned and delivered poles to provide fibre to our street and then cancelled so stuck with virgin

I switched to Toob at my last house - was very happy with them. There was a network problem at some point, which took them longer to fix than they'd estimated (i.e 24 hours, not 4 hours) - and they credited £10 to the bill as an apology!

Toob will be arriving to our current area "soon" and we will be switching to it as soon as we can.

Can you not use wifi calling on your phone?

I live in a signal blackspot too - completely dead. However, I gave up my landline about 4 years ago and use wifi calling, which works perfectly.

Keep an eye out for Amazon voucher codes too... the current one is £75 if you use 'hello75' before the end of the month
