sorted byOne tip they used EERO Wireless access point which should be called ERROR! Chuck it away, actually don't as they want it back if you change provider. Leave it in the box and get a decent wireless access point/router instead. EERO are Amazon crap, can't even change the wireless channel. Hateful crap. YouFibre do supply a decent Optical Terminal which the EERO plugs into. Anyway I used a Dlink WIFI 6 router instead of the EERO. Anyway that was in 2022 so maybe they don't supply the EERO crap now but if they do good luck with it :/ (edited)
Does anyone really need even 1000mbps? Most of the time you're limited to what the server can give you anyway so might as well save the cash, imo.
Never have a problem with network slowdown.
YouFibre gives great performance, very good pricing and the customer service is phenomenal. My area had a power outage after which connectivity would not return. They were at my home the same day, fixed my problem and even tidied up some of my cabling! I cannot recommend them highly enough.
I even find the Eeros that come with their mesh service to be very good, though I'm just running them in standard config.
I've got the main Eero box, one other downstairs, one at the top of the stairs and a powerline connection to one in the garage. You can move around absolutely seamlessly. (edited)
I called them directly.
On a side note, because of Sky's price rises it was free to cancel the broadband.
Ive just switched from 1gbps Virgin back to BT FTTC at 70mbps. It's faster for literally everything other than large downloads, and online gaming is actually possible.
With Virgin latency always bounced between 20ms up to 40ms continuously, and always had and least 0.5% packet loss, usually hovering between 1-2%. Any online games, even CoOp or MMOs were unplayable.
Now with BT it doesn't move from 19ms on CoD/WoW/Overwatch. Solid flat line and not a single lost packet. They're all literally like playing new games and I can't believe how many years ive aged from raging at dying behind cover or from shots not hitting completely due to Virgin not being able to handle simple game packets.
The only thing that can beat this is full fibre or FTTP, and this is an amazing deal. The speed of virgin with the reliability of a modern network (not the DOCSIS junk Virgin still rely on).
Cant wait to join the lucky ones in the next few years. (edited)
No complaints whatsoever. Good router and has similar abilities in terms of coverage.
professional’s installed a new line into the house, just next to the existing Fibre optic line. In my case it was a simple 1 hole of 10 mm needed to be drilled in.
Good deal for me
I'm also happy with the Eero set up and find it really useful the booster has its own Ethernet points.
I did have two hours of down time the other day for the first time, however I think that's due to the contractors who were working my streets hub.
Im on the 1000mb package and always get over 950mb up and down.
Network is reliable
You can use your own router as long as it has a RJ45 (network cable) wan port and not an RJ11 (phone line) port
For work mate I gave a Cat 7 I had, and he swapped out what looked be a unshielded cat5e (which should theoretically hit 1gig anyway), but was seeing around 280 only.
Now they get 950+
Make sure you have decent frequency and shielded cables, also if been with Virgin a while, buy your own decent/or ask for replacement coax cables and splitter box, it can do wonders.
I'm currently with NoOne (Trunk Networks) on the 500Mbps package via the Openreach network. If YouFibre can install to my property (it's a flat in a block of 6) then I presume it would just be a case of awaiting the YouFibre ONT to be fitted, and then cancel my existing service as it's via an Openreach ONT.

been signed up since july but I won't balk at 1000Gbit / 300Mbps after a free upgrade due to the delays delays for £48 for the contract plus 2 free months.
The reliability of a Fiber line has been a pipe dream for 20 years or so. with a dodgy BT connector box that gets flooded regularly barely 50 meters away on my Openreach line.
