Alternatives in WA5 - Callands Postcode

Hi all,

Anyone know how I can find out how well BT & Sky fibre connections are working in the WA5 postcode, Callands area?

My VM service is crippled with over utilisation the shoddy attitude to customer service and constant broken promises are driving me away.

before I jump I would like a heads up on the real world performance of the Fibre alternatives IN MY LOCAL area. Don't give a stuff about it not being 200Mb, a reliable and consistent 60Mb should serve us well.

Thanks

Thanks for the heads up but I am already registered with TB as well. I was hoping to hear from someone who actually has one of the "openreach" fibre connections Sky, BT or the like.

The trouble with that map is that you cant tell anything about the service quality. Today on my VM connection I am working from home and getting a solid connection with no problems. If I do a speedtest on a wired connection I will get between 140Mb and 160Mb which is great. if I do the same test at 20:00 I will get between 5Mb and 15B at best with 100ms+pings.

I know most of speedtest results for the VM connection in my postcode are from me and they tell a misleading story about my BB connection ....
