      With a stated aim to turn us all into budding entrepreneurs- when most will use it for netflix, porn and the latest amazon/shein order.

      You want it you pay for it, landlord shouldn’t have to pay for it

      Pretty sure this was announced back under Theresa May’s tenure…

      And here is me with a house on single-digit MB/s download speeds and 1MB/s upload speed on the most basic package available.

      Plan the right to own cats first ffs, this is the only country where you can dump half a million on a flat to be told how to live. And mass delusion of people pretending it is okay because everyone else is doing it (Leasehold system)

      This will cause serious issues for leaseholders when it comes to building safety cases, these companies do not care about safety and do not properly fire stop their work. A real “be careful what you wish for” situation is developing

      Maybe I’m an old man but what are people using 1gb/s connections for? Especially in a flat. What can you possibly do that consistently needs these speeds? Does it fix the backlog of maintenance issues in the communal areas and scrape the mould off the walls?

      There’s literally no need for anyone to have gigabit internet though. Most people barely need 100mbps.

      Your TV streaming in 4K only uses 15-20mbps, even less for lower quality streams (like we all watch because no one watches 4K). Your phone and laptop 5-10mbps at the most. Your security cameras also 5-10 for a live stream. Even if you have all of them streaming at the same time, with multiple TVs and multiple phones/laptops, you’d never need 1000mbps.

      CityFibre was available in my area but the building management and CityFibre were constantly blaming each other. Management say CityFibre doesn’t respond to their queries while CityFibre say management is refusing permission. Gave up after 6 months.

      There’s a very expensive elephant in the room here, and the name is asbestos.

      I’m in a fibre area, there’s fibre to the hole in the ground by my door, but it needs to run to the service trunk and back. Service trunk suddenly got boarded up asbestos hazard warnings on it.

      Now I’m in a position where I’m in a fibre area and my ISP can’t provision any of the products it sells. So I’m stuck with not particularly reliable copper to the cabinet, but right now there’s enough compo stacked up on my account and I’m paying so little for it that it’ll be quite a while before I actually have to pay anything for shitty internet.

      It’s enough to stream HD ok, but UHD Disney+ is flakey and falls over if my pc requires updates at the same time or I’m trying to summon a steam game, which takes forever for Starfield and BG3 size games.

      Apparently I’m the only person amongst owners or renters that went as far as asking to thier isp to ask the building owner for a waybill (is that the right word?) for fibre. I’m assuming everyone hasn’t switched it upgraded thier broadband in forever and is massively overpaying for slow connections.
