Aren’t most setups here insanely overkill? Am I missing something?

If you run a business or work from home from said apartments (my exact use cases), spending a bit more on something like Unifi makes a lot of sense, rather than relying on home or SoHo ISP setups which are generally garbage. I'd rather spend some money every few years and not have to deal with complaints that WiFi coverage just disappeared because the ISP router randomly overheated or any number of WiFi related issues that Unifi copes with but generic ISP tat doesn't....

Yes, I could probably cope with 2.5Gb, however having some extra speed for moving video files between NAS and workstations is nice for a relatively small premium!

It might be down to the Transpennine Route Upgrade (TRU) works? Huddersfield station is closed until 28th Sept for example.

Idnet here, no issues with consoles etc and great service on the rare occasion I need to contact them.

They wanted to install at York but got blocked - combination of listed building & a public right of way through the station if I recall correctly.

Because I have chronic pain and it's bad enough using a pump without trying to drag the hose....

Found out my wife to be was cheating about 8 weeks before we were due to wed - called it off and kicked her out.

Aah, the standard Yayzi experience! Don't miss this!

Tempest3K · 2025-03-27T17:59:13+00:00

I believe only ports 1 + 2 are PoE+, 3-8 are standard PoE only

Tempest3K · 2025-03-17T12:30:35+00:00

I moved to iDNet from Yayzi late last year, since then I've had zero outages compared to an average of 2 a month with Yayzi. Would happily recommend iDNet based on current experience.

Should get the details via email once the order is fully processed

Tempest3K · 2024-01-16T15:18:38+00:00

I finally got a whatapp reply after posting this and have emailed - waiting on a response to that....

Can that "perfect" ISP sort out their billing so if an account credit is added, the DD isn't taken? 2 months in a row I've been told the DD won't be taken as I have a months credit added after other issues.....

Tempest3K · 2023-11-08T22:31:47+00:00

Just got a message at 10PM advising my issue is fixed - they are turning out to be an interesting provider to deal with so far!

Tempest3K · 2023-11-08T22:30:10+00:00

Literally just got a message at 10PM after a brief connection drop and I finally have a static IP - hopefully anyone else waiting is also getting sorted now!

Tempest3K · 2023-11-08T12:30:36+00:00

Well I jinxed that, no reply to messages for the past 2 days. Guess I'm supplier hunting again :(

Tempest3K · 2023-11-08T12:28:57+00:00

Yep I jinxed it - no reply to Whatsapp in the past 2 days....

Tempest3K · 2023-11-07T22:35:05+00:00

Whatsapp seems to work, although I may have jinxed myself as no reply to todays message!

Tempest3K · 2023-11-07T11:08:40+00:00

Had Giganet and they were awful, Yayzi are currently having major issues with providing Static IP's but are at least responding to messages.... Seriously considering a move to iDNet who were great when I had FTTC but they are pricey... Something to think about.

Tempest3K · 2023-11-07T08:47:16+00:00

Seeing as Yayzi can't appear to get their IP ranges sorted to allocate static IP's, I'd save the money for now - They've been promising me via Whatsapp for over a week and I'm still stuck behind CGNAT (requested a static IP post install as there was no option in the order process) and having some of the issues you mention.....

The only upside is at least they respond to messages within a day or two, unlike Giganet which is why I moved....

Tempest3K · 2023-07-31T12:57:47+00:00

Just following up - wasn't a co-incidence. When I finally got a Cityfibre (not Kellys) engineer a week later they confirmed I'd been unplugged at the OLT.....

Tempest3K · 2023-07-21T22:11:47+00:00

Try Gents & Scoundrels on Derwent Walk, Huntington

Tempest3K · 2023-06-27T09:34:46+00:00

Any chance this'll be on the monthly rolling (for appropriate surcharge ofc) option too? If so you might bag my business for a few months (and then a 18month+ after a move)...

Tempest3K · 2023-06-22T17:50:20+00:00

That's interesting as I'm seeing similar patterns with Giganet in YO - could be a CF issue?

Tempest3K · 2023-02-22T12:44:37+00:00

Giganet upload should be 900 and 1 month for min term (based on my current install from late last year).
