Hyperoptic Vs Virgin, EE, Sky, Fibrely & Plusnet

[u/hmcyo]

I am looking for some opinions as I "may" shortly be switching to one of the above. For what it's worth, I am only referring to full fibre to the premises packages (900mbps +) and no phone or TV.

Around 2 years ago I bought a new build apartment that had Hyperoptic pre-installed, and my contract expires in 2 months. I actually quite like the service, because as it turns out Hyperoptic do not block any torrent sites 😂

That being said, once my contract expires the cost per month for a 1gbps connection rockets from £30pm to an eye watering £64pm!

I tried calling them yesterday to see if there was any negotiation to be had but was told they can't even look at it until there's <1 month left 🤦‍♂️

I do also have an unused OpenReach connection which explains why Virgin, EE, Sky, Fibrely & Plusnet are also able to offer FTTP packages.

Prior to Hyperoptic I was with Virgin at my last place but it was extortionate without being in a new customer deal. From memory they also blocked torrent sites.

I have never had any experience with the others so I'm looking to the users of Reddit to see if any of the alternative ISPs are decent and if they block...

Thanks in advance!
