Glad it was helpful!

Hows it been? I've just done the same. 72to80 down and 20 up Internet, and they're not offering fttp unfortunately, so literally just ordered the 1Gb package.

​@@ox1deI use toob fucking solid no price rises in contract and £25 a month 990 up and down normally

Glad it was helpful!

No problem 👍

No problem!

Honestly, it is in some respects life changing that I can now always rely on being able to have a fast and stable connection for everything.

No problem 👍

Glad you enjoyed

Very very impressive speeds

Bro 😭, im with EE and im getting 35 down and 9 up. I need Community Fibre to come to my street asap

No worries!

That is incredibly frustrating. Have you been able to contact anyone at Community Fibre to see if there may be a long term solution to the problem. Surely there must be a way around this?

I did give the Cloudflare speed test a try, it's definitely much better than Ookla's! Thanks for the heads up, will be my go to speed test application in the future!

No problem 👍

Didn’t know that, thanks for the info!

@@chasemason5129 People get a bit confused because lots of ISPs give you one box which is essentially a modem, switch, router, and access point all in one. With fibre providers they typically have the modem outside the all in one box, at least for the UK.

Customer service has been great. Had to change my direct debit. Admittedly I wish I could do this online but had to over the phone and was sent a website link from them to my email to do so. But service has been good and their customer service is based in the UK. My speeds have been very consistent ever since, haven’t had a drop in speed since the video was uploaded. Would recommend for sure and at this price, it’s nothing short of a bargain.

Fair enough!

Hi there, so I've just had a look into this. There is actually one 2.4Ghz band and two separate 5Ghz bands. Yes, this is the default mode of the router and it will work with your devices to determine the best band that each individual device connected to the router should be on. Alternatively, you can split the three bands so that you can manually have separate networks for each band. This would require you to manually connect each device to its desired band. This is a very capable router but again, unlike with BT and others, you have the freedom and flexibility of installing your own router or mesh system if you desire. Hope that helps!

How did you negotiate such a great deal ? All you needed was the free £100 Amazon voucher offer How is your service?

Hey Paul. So I live in east London. Where I live I could only get standard open reach connections and virgin. Hyper Optic and community fibre wasn’t available. I did sign up for my interest for community fibre months ago to the point I forgot all about it. I got a call from someone from community fibre that said it’s now available in my area from 2 weeks ago and he’s been calling everyone on my road that signed up for interest. He originally offered me 6 months for free, 1GB speed and £5 a month for landline (landline and mobile calls - I don’t care for landline but my mum wanted to keep it). I told him give me a few days as I need to see if I could get out or my current contract with EE. Sidenote - I’m an ex EE employee, when I use to work there I had 50% off 300mbs which was around £25p/m which was amazing. Then It went back to full price plus annual interest rate increase meant I was paying £54 for 300mbs. I’ve moved out of my mums place so paying that much was crazy to me. As an ex EE employee I know there’s a loop whole where if you do a change of ownership, the new person (my mum) would be paying what I was previously but would be out of contract regardless of where I was. Anyways the original guy called me back a few days letter saying his boss has given him the all clear to give me a better offer changing the 6 months free to 9 months free. I was happy to go with it but I had to wait 2 weeks for the change of ownership to go through. On the second week of the change of ownership his boss called me saying he’s the regional manager and ask if I wanted the offer. I said I did but have to give me a few days as I’m currently going through a change of ownership to my mum to put me out of contract. He said I sound quite knowledgeable and actually offered me a job lol. Anyways a few days later he called me back saying I can offer you 12 months free instead of 9 if I take it in a few days in which I didn’t as I wanted to do some research on providers and deals. I gave him a call back yesterday to ask if the deal was still available in which he said no but “he’ll do it for me for this once”. My installation is next Monday (21st August). I’m extremely excited for it as I’ve honestly heard nothing but good news on community fibre. I’ve currently got EE (current provider) live so incase community fibre is shit, I can cancel it within the 14 days to get a refund on everything or within 60 days if I’m not happy with it. I got a few friends that have community fibre and they love it. They live in houses and get WiFi in every room without any boosters. The WiFi at my mum’s property is only a small 2 bedroom flat all on the same floor so I’m hoping for good results. Even if I get 100mbs wireless in each room I’ll be happy as EE (my currently provider) offered me 100mbs for £35 without landline More than happy to keep in contact with you if you had like Instagram - if you wanted to talk about it a bit more. Few things to note: within the first year I’m only paying the £5 a month for the landline service (normally £10p/m). Set up fee of £15 at the start too.

@@ELITESMOK3Y Thanks for the reply. Ask the engineer if the ont modem box to be installed is new and small, and not the Adtran 621i box as its huge and takes up space.They should have the equivalent to the Openreach ont box which is compact. Be Lucky !

@@Paul-je6pw Cheers mate, will do. One thing I forgot mention was the £100 offer for me and a friend couldn’t be claimed in conjunction with the offer I got. But for me it was a no brainier. In regards to your comment, what do you mean regarding the ont modem box?

​​@@ELITESMOK3Y On chases video @ 2.00 minute he shows the modem I'm talking about, under his TV. I hope they have newer smaller box.

Can be used with Ethernet and WiFi to achieve the speeds shown

Yeah it’s really frustrating, my parents are in Greenwich and most of their hasn’t been covered by Community Fibre just yet

Thanks for the info

Same, what area are you?

Indeed but you have the flexibility to use your own router and I much prefer this over a proprietary router locked in by the ISPs

Thank you mate! All done within an hour. Took two engineers to do the job.

@@chasemason5129 Perfect! :D I'm getting it this coming Tuesday and coming from Sky broadband, I'm so excited to have better internet!

@@azcukfan8068it’s a game changer, let me know how it goes

@@chasemason5129 They came out, installed the cables and everything but there's a fault with the telephone line so they're getting BT out and hopefully in a weeks time, we can have it lol

@@azcukfan8068frustrating! Give me an update if you get it sorted

Currently offers going at £25 a month. I believe there is a price increase at the end of the contract, I’m not sure by how much but by the time you reach that point, you’re better off either getting a new contract or moving to another provider

Yes, you do need the modem for any FTTP (fibre to the property) broadband.

Yes you can!

Haven’t had any issues mate, I have a house alarm for which the control panel is connected to the router via Ethernet. No issues with Netflix with multiple profiles on different devices

Modem provides you access to the internet however the router provided connections between wireless and wired devices. Yes usually these companies will have it all in one but you could even get ur own router instead of using community fibres router given

@@Jdjdhewhwisitoverrr Yeah i wasn't aware that they came separately. Do you know if community fibre is separate? And if so can i use my bt smarthub?

@@user-wh9nm8es8l got no idea tbh ill have to look into it more, i only just stumbled across this vid cuz my aunt got a leaflet from them. Ill let you know.

@@user-wh9nm8es8lthat could possibly work if you disable the modem function on the BT Smarthub but I doubt BT allow you to do this. Also, the Linksys router that comes with Community Fibre is much more capable/powerful. Was on BT with a Smarthub for several years. This blows this away imo

It’s after you’ve used community fibre for two full months, so as to prevent people from getting the voucher and then just cancelling their contracts

Yeah, and they’ve done some upgrades to the app too recently allowing you to change the source of the speed test, either from the router to server or device to server. Clever stuff!

I’m hoping I can get an ONT, will ring them up to see

If you're living in a residential estate/block of flats then no drilling will be needed as there will be a fibre cable running into the block and serving all the houses within it.

@@chasemason5129 i order today 1gps community fibre they coming tuesday to install it.

My home office is on the floor directly above the living room where the router is. Download speeds around 530Mbps and upload around 200Mbps. Debating whether or not to install a mesh system for myself, I didn't see the point of paying an extra £10p/m on Community Fibre for their mesh system when I could buy my own outright. Not a priority for me right now. However, I am getting no signal at the top floor loft extension of the house, which is expected. Nobody occupies there at present but if that changes, I'll probably get another node to provide that area with signal. Overall, I'm really impressed with the quality of this router and I much prefer it to some of the proprietary routers from other ISPs.

Basically, if your house has only two floors, you should be fine. Any loft extensions and you may need an extender. Really up to you to gauge based on speed tests in different locations when you receive your router, and where you believe is the best location for the modem to be installed.

@@chasemason5129 Thanks for explaining. Getting community fibre next week.

Thanks Chase , excellent presentation. Definitely will get Community Fibre , ditching Virgin as I am out of contract now.

@@Zoobyy let me know how it goes 👍🏿

Just got the letter saying there in my area today, bye bye virgin

@@TheDarkMatrixsame here lol, we are gonna move into this

I’ll check that and get back to you. Other people with gigabit broadband have complained about slow speeds on the PS5. Search slow upload speeds PS5 on KZfaq. Nonetheless, I’ll do a test and get back to you

@@chasemason5129 Thanks. It was purely a curiosity question anyway.

Haven’t tried Fortnite mate, but I’ll get my brother to do so and report back

I can have a look at that and get back to you!

​@@chasemason5129i would also like to know aswell what the speeds are for ps5

I just got community fibre, although the ps5 is in my room I took the ps5 downstairs and connected it to the router wired and got 933mbps download but still a low upload of around 20 but 933 download was insane. Tested by downloading battlefield which is a 80gb game and it said it would finish in 20 minutes😅

I won’t have the time to make another video as I have exams at the moment but I can assure you I have seen little to no difference in my speeds at peak times.

Only problem is the ping on 5G and other cellular connections is very very bad. Ping on FTTP is at most 4ms. And so if latency is important to you say for gaming etc, then FTTP is always going to be the best choice. FTTP also increases the value of the house, if you’re considering selling later down the line. Funnily enough I live right behind a 5G cell tower and considered doing that but again, latency will be a huge problem.

And when you say “cripples”, your talking speeds in excess of 1Gbps??? In excess of 3Gbps (which is available on Community Fibre for a reasonable price)??? If so, what devices in your home will realistically capitalise on all of that available speed?

@@chasemason5129 the basic router from free is a good example. I'm not at home writing this message but I put an antenna up outside and I was given a ztc or something router and it went over a ubiquity unify solution. I get around two and a half GB during the night and when it varies a lot during the day. So maybe it doesn't triple the speed if you get the biggest package but it certainly quicker and because I only pay £10 a month for it it's definitely better value for money.

That's great speeds! I'm glad you found something that works for you! During the day, what type of speeds are you seeing at peak times? Sounds like good value for money, I couldn't find this tarrif on Three's website, is it only available for existing customers or some sort of a special deal? @@elixier33

How are you getting that for £10

The router definitely bears similarities in terms of looks

Can’t throw the baby out with the bath water 😢

@@chasemason5129 wasn't the only bad experience with them. they have lazy installers as there's no oversight.
