Kind of surprised that they haven’t done what NZ has done and have one company that owns and maintains the physical network then sells access to ISP’s. The company installs fiber to your house and terminates the fiber in an ONT (a box that converts from fiber to ethernet) that any ISP can connect to (or multiple ISP’s depending on the ONT).
That way you have a choice of providers and there isn’t multiple fiber installs being done.
Right now I get an uncapped, no contract 300down/100up for about £45 and if I wanted to I could bump it up to 950down/500up for another £10 a month (before any bundling discounts).
The speed is pretty consistent & often slightly over and I get a choice of router that I want to use (currently a MikroTik RB960PGS).
And I just looked it up and 2/4/8 gigabyte symmetric plans are being rolled out as they upgrade the cabinets and they aren’t much more expensive.
About 25 years for me.
For most people it’s a better option to use a local print shop for the odd times that they need something printed.
More options for printing too.
