They unfortunately have datacaps and don't offer fiber only openreach FTTC style connections at best and at about 3 times what I pay for 1gbit up/down in London ATM.


What do you mean by "they don't offer fiber"? At first I thought you meant they don't offer FTTP but I checked their website and they do.


That's not fiber, that's Openreach VDSL (BT Infinitniy) over coper which only supports 70-80MB down and about 20-30MB down.

London and some other parts of the UK have FTTH now, and it's cheap I am paying 30GBP for a 1 gig symetric connection via hyperoptic.

Fiber to the curb is not fiber, anything below 300MBit should not even be considered broadband at this day and age tbh.
