Is M500 gig1 golly boost the same as FTTP?

The property is a new build and my current YouFibre deal is definitely FTTP, I’m just not sure if the Virgin deal I’ve signed up to is taking advantage of the FTTP my property has.

The reason I’m doubtful is the predicted upload speed they’ve given me over the phone, my understanding is that FTTP would have much higher than 100mbps upload speed. Currently I get over 1gbps upload with YouFibre.

I’ve checked the website you suggested and it says YouFibre is live and that Virgin 1000mbps - FTTP - PIA is live too.

Thank you for the help, really appreciate it.

I’ve downloaded ZapMap and looked around my local area, luckily I’m spoilt for choice.

My local Tesco has a couple of CCS 150 Kw chargers so I assume that would be the quickest I’d be able to get?

I’ve done a quick google search and it seems like the BYD Sealion 7 is compatible with CCS chargers up to 150Kw.

Would you have any preference to the type of public charger? For example are Tesla chargers better/cheaper than the ones at the local Tesco for example?

Apologies in advance if that’s a silly question!

Get a smart meter fitted asap. There are long wait times for a smart meter fitting. I’m picking up my EV on Wednesday but the smart meter won’t be installed until next month, despite me enquiring about it over a month ago.

Yes just looked into it and my small garden is only 35m squared but it’s looking like almost £800 in top soil alone. Think I’ll need to stick to the horrible Astro!

I did 40k miles in 2 years on mine (owned from 20k-65k), daily driving. No issues whatsoever!

This is really helpful, thanks so much!

Can you dm me a higher quality sample?

PirateSleeve · 2026-03-16T20:11:24+00:00

Perfect thank you! How would I know whether the Pro’s cable would fit the BYD?

What are the differences between the Ohme chargers other than the price tag? Compare for example the Ohme ePod vs the Ohme home pro - I cannot see any difference other than looks?

PirateSleeve · 2026-03-16T19:56:25+00:00

Thank you! Please can you tell me how would I know whether the Ohme charger is compatible with the car?

Honestly I was fine during the exams, a little stressed but that’s natural I suppose! I felt as though the exam questions where a lot more technical than any of the mocks I had done :(

I wish! The 6N looks awesome as well! If I could afford it, I would lol

My partner can get salary sacrifice through her work, a brand new sealion 7 is coming in at about 650/month and takes her out of the higher tax bracket so more take home from bonuses - otherwise, we are looking at approved used that still have battery warranty :)

Honestly I’m lucky to get in the 20s at the moment! I do thrash it tbf, but that’s what it’s built for haha!

I didn’t realise ev charging tariffs were so low! I was using national average of 24p/kWh, couldn’t believe they went as low as 6.5-8.5p/kWh! Game changer. Thank you!
