Hi everyone,
Quick question, anyone have any experience of community fibre broadband? Any views?
Currently with virgin media but with the rising costs contemplating changing.
Thanks

sorted byI'm really glad I moved so far as they are cheaper than talk talk and miles better.
I'm keen to hear a bit more feedback on them from anyone that's been with them 18+ months.
I noted you mentioned being on Community Fibre in a thread about a router deal. I'd love to hear from your experiences.
Also does anyone know if they have a published rollout plan? They say they are definitely planning to come to my postcode but not here yet. Would be good to know when they are expecting to come into our neighborhood as I'm anyway in contract till nearer the end of the year. (edited)
Had been seeing the engineers installing cables and registered interest on community fibre and got a leaflet saying they will be available in the next 3 months. So was checking their site every morning and signed up straight away. Got an install appt for 2 days after that. They arrived on time and sent 4 engineers over to turn the job around quickly. They let me choose where i wanted to have the modem and router installed (wanted it middle of house instead of just front of house) which was no problem. They got it all up and running within 2 hours and it's been rock solid. Am on the 500mbps and am getting the full 500 up and down. Haven't noticed any slowdowns or disconnections.
Not sure what their traffic shaping policies are but i doubt they will be as restrictive as virginmedia anyway.
Have been very pleased and there is nothing in my area that comes close to performance/price (edited)
