• I've never had much in the way of problems with my Virgin connection, I suspect not using their router improves things greatly. I would like the improved speed (particularly upload) of Community Fibre.

    Main issue is what I'll replace the Virgin TV box with, there don't seem to be that many decent options for that.

    My Virgin cabling is decent because it emerges directly into my cupboard with all TV/network stuff and another cable in that rat's nest isn't an issue. Would need to ensure Community Fibre could also terminate there.

  • When we got CF wired in they seemed pretty happy to terminate it wherever we wanted (within reason). Also nice thing about the router is that it's a stock Linksys Mesh jobby so you can just buy off the shelf extenders rather than having to pay CF £5 a month in perpetuity

  • I already have a router and wired APs. Probably need to check that they will work with CF, I assume the Linksys router can be put into modem mode somehow or something.

  • I'm really happy with my community fibre connection and its way cheaper than VM and got 6 months free but somewhat disappointed they flat out refused to even try drilling the hole through our alcove cupboards and then outside so we're stuck with it on the wall just outside the cupboard when it could have been hidden away neatly.

    Small thing but still
