Regrade to full fibre mid-term

[littledavehedgehog]

Does anyone know if it's possible to regrade from FTTC to FTTP mid-term? I'm due to end my Virgin Media contract in September, CityFibre have dug our road up twice in the last 3 months to put the full FTTP infrastructure in but it's not likely to be live when my VM contract ends.... so I either get tied to VM for another 18 months (on their 1.2Gbps service 0- which to be far has been almost faultless), or switch now but will be stuck on a max speed of 35Mpbs (all I can get on the current openreach cr*p) until BT roll out the full fibre in my location...

If you moved to BT FTTC then you can upgrade to FTTP whenever that becomes available

Do VM not let you have a rolling 30day contract like most ISPs do?

Yes they do but depending on how you negotiated over the years at end of each contract it could end up being a huge price rise as all negotiated discounts would be lost.

@Tim Yes they do, but it's twice the price

Excellent, thanks for the info

@pip I'm not currently with them, so that's not an issue
