I don't think "anything close" is even vaguely true. I have openreach FTTP at 900mbps down, and the bandwidth is the same or better than I ever got with virgin gigabit. I'm also about to switch to another FTTP provider who provides 900mbps down 900mbps up for £25 a month. Plus with both of those I can pay a little extra to have a monthly rolling contract.
Additionally my average latency dropped by more than half when ditching Virgin. I was genuinely shocked at how much better it was.
Fair enough, you are paying for the 1gb with Open reach though. I'm way off the mark anyway since this is about WiFi.
Curious about the other provider? Last time I checked most of the other providers are very very limited in area coverage.
The other provider is Toob and they are indeed quite limited in location currently. I still pay less for a rolling contract with Cuckoo for my openreach connection that I did for Virgin gigabit (by ~£10).
