Switch was easy. The speed is good, though the wifi is quite unreliable. Overall it's fine.

I started with standard broadband. Alas, it was too slow for my needs. So, I upgraded to fibre, and so far, I've had no issues. I will be looking for a cheaper price though, when my contract expires.

Unfortunately my switch was very delayed. The router they sent was faulty and had to be returned and I was stuck without internet for over a week. The connection is not good, and overall it's not worth it for the small saving on monthly outgoings.

Their customer service is better than my previous provider. However, the switchover was slow and unfortunately I've found the upload speed to be less than impressive. I also have concerns about the security of the wifi router.

The switch took a long time but went well. However the speed is not great and there was hidden charges I got to know about later which I had to pay - not too happy with that.
