Hi All, New here. So i recently upgraded to EE 1.6gbps, the EE SMart hub only has 1gbps lan ports, so i bought an ASUS GT-AX11000 Pro router, which has 10gbp LAN port, and 2.5gb WAN, then i connected the 10gb port to a BroTrends 2.5gb 8 port switch. Previously had all 1GB network gear. 1 of the...

I searched for 'the' Aquiss thread on here, and realised there wasn't one. :eek: We have a thread for most of the providers, so I'm starting this rather than tag onto the main BT/FTTP thread. I ordered 'Family Pure Fibre 1000' with a /29 IPv4 and a /58 IPv6 last Friday. The MD (Martin) has been...

Hello, I currently have broadband with Virgin Media. A cable goes in through the front wall of the house, and on the inside wall there is a box. A short coaxial cable comes out of it and it goes to the back of the house, concealed under the floor boards. At the back is my modem / router. When...

Hi, Finally got myself full fibre connection installed and can run this in a bridge mode with my own router. Unfortunately the one I had has been re=purposed for another install so need to sort out a replacement, which will offer some extra benefits. Got plenty of LAN cables routed so Wifi...

Hi I got "Community Fibre" FTTP 150Mbps download, 150Mbps upload package 2 weeks ago and I'm currently testing it. Community Fibre state they throttle or limit connections in any way but it seems to me they do. I got Linksys Velop router and ADTRAN 621i XGS-PON ONT modem from them. The problem...

Having building work done and I have managed to rip out my fibre cable for the second time in 2 weeks. Last time got the ISP to fix it at a huge cost of £108 so keen to know if this can be a DIY thing with minimal kit? Any termination kits someone can recommend or do I just bit the bullet and...

I've just found out the hard way that the Displayport ports on my RTX 3090 FE are slightly closer together than on the 2080Ti. This should not surprise me as on the latter they were spread across both slots, but it means that I can't plug three of my fibre-optic DP cables into the card. I have...

Does anyone have Talktalk 1gb UFO here? They're currently laying the fibre for my road and my town, I'm looking at TalkTalk ufo because of its price, but does anyone have any first-hand experience with them with UFO? As I've been on TalkTalk adsl2+ for donkey's years now and had no problem...

https://communityfibre.co.uk/ Received a letter this week saying that this is going to be rolled out to where I live, looks to be offering good speeds at decent prices. I'm currently with plusnet FTTC and get pretty much the max of the 80/20 speed it offers but do like the idea of full 1GB/1GB...

Earlier this year I paid £180 for each of three 10m fibre-optic Displayport 1.4 cables. I now find that they're now available for £80. This is competitive with high-end copper cables. (OCUK don't sell these, so not competitor links.) I can thoroughly recommend fibre-optic cables, and hope they...

After consulting the U-Switch site for my postcode BD10 the maximum speed from an alternative provider is 76Mb/s. Are there any smaller lesser known fibre providers for the Bradford area? Only thinking of leaving as I started off paying £39 a month less than a year ago and it's been ramped up...

Is anyone else stuck on an exchange only line? I just filled out this to see if I can get fibre and found I'm on an exchange only line: https://www.homeandbusiness.openreach.co.uk/fibre-broadband/when-can-i-get-fibre Then I found a petition to get openreach to do something about it. Its a bit...

Surprised to say we have the ability to order FTTP at home. I say this as we are very rural and a small cluster attached to a really small exchange (circa 300 properties on our exchange) but sure enough we have it. I actually walked around the grounds with the Openreach engineer looking at where...
