Fibrus are installing networks in the north of England as well as here in NI, are any of you using them?
Too keep their promise of making fast broadband available to everyone the powers that be have got a company called Fibrus to install much of the rural infrastructure as openreach are really dragging their heels! They are using the openreach poles to run their fibre cables to within a few metres of each house.
But so far it seems like these cables are only for Fibrus to use though I guess in future BT will do some sort of deal to use them.
At the moment we are 3 miles from the nearest openreach fibre, so the broadband is going down 50 year old copper wire and we are limited to 3.5 kbps speed!
Fibrus are offering a very good deal of £25 per month for 100GB broadband, 2 year contract, 3 month free, guaranteed no price rises.
The downside is that they only offer voip phone service, only £10 a month more but you have to have your phone plugged directly into the router. That means all the wired extensions in the house are useless and it also means during a power cut you have no phone.
We were thinking we could take this deal, have a phone only contract with BT & it will still work out cheaper than the phone/rubbish broadband deal we currently have with XLN!
