    Hi

    A question for our experts !

    Living in D15 and was recently upgraded by Virgin Media to fibre broadband to the outside of the house.

    Still have a cable connection to my VMbroadband router. Does that mean service is poorer than on fibre for house to router.

    Paying €70 per month to VM.

    Recently got a text from Sky offering fibre broadband for half the price of VM.

    Does anyone know if Sky will carry out the final part of the fibre connection to their router or do I need to request Virgin to do the final connection first.

    Anything I should consider regarding Sky broadband as want to keep my phone line.

    Might use Sky in order to get a reduction from VM.

    Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

    Its up to Sky to arrange the installation through VM and their installers (usually contractors).

    Interesting. Current deal with VM ends early November. Might be able to use Sky to get a decent price from Virgin.

    Thanks

    Anyone experience with Pure Telecom? For 40 a month I can get 1gb fibre. They are coming in the cheapest behind sky.

    Any issues with them blocking vpns or anything? I would go with sky but two people I know have had issues with them, weird buffer issues on Netflix and what's app not loading even though they are both on FTTH.

    I don't have any issues with Pure blocking VPNs or anything -= I did have an issue with their CS at the start when my line got damaged - it took making a format complaint before anyone would actually do anything about it.

    I've also had Sky before that and never had any issues with Netflix or WHatsApp - maybe that's related the their recent issues around weird routing/ UK IP address assignment.

    I've used my own hardware too
