Theyre coming to my area later this year apparently. I was wondering if anyone had an opinion on the quality of service?

Also, the Linksys router they provide - can you manage your own DNS? Their documentation isn't clear.

Cheers :)

Thanks :) they'll be ok with using a different router? I used to be with Sky and when I asked them they said it broke their T&Cs.

Yeah. They won't support it if you have a fault so keep the default in a box somewhere, but it's officially kosher to provide your own. You'll get a box on the wall (ONT) that turns PON fibre into gigabit ethernet, and that you have to use. But it's essentially a media converter. DHCP is all you need, no authentication/login - your ONT authenticates you.

Perfect :) thanks very much.
