Who's your provider and on a scale of "Reliable" to "OneStream", how good are they?

I used to be with Virgin media but their prices are insane. So I've switched to this local provider which has excellent service comparable to Virgin media but without the price hikes.

Only real downside is the router they give you is crap. I'm sat in the bedroom right above the router right now and it has zero signal.

But you can use any old router so it's up too bad it's just annoying.

We have a good local fiber provider here, good reliability, can use your own router... but I'm just out of the catchment zone for them.

So I signed on for a year with onestream, hoping that by then the provider will be available in my area

Yes that's the downside you have when using a provider with their own fibre cables, they can't piggyback off the backs of another provider but if you do get the service it's so much faster than anything BT can offer.
