can you get fibre wired internally? (alien.top)
 

Is it possible to get fibre cables wired internally? The company I have contacted so far (GNetwork) suggested surface-mounted fibre cables. Would they or any other company be able to do an internal fibre installation and what would it likely to cost? (just ball park - 100s, 1000s etc)

Btw, based on what openreach says, my address can get gfast. Just seems only Shell and maybe Sky offer it: https://i.imgur.com/eDqjXru.png

Oh really? I can also get this option from Sky (who also use Openreach, I believe): https://i.imgur.com/u7i5P1Q.png Do you think I'd just be getting ripped off if I go with anyone but BT?

They call it Ultrafast. Here is the product: https://i.imgur.com/l9SQBx9.png

(Although the speeds seem fast here, on the phone they said in my area I'd likely get closer to 90-120, which is why I wrote 90 in my original post.)

thanks. I don't understand why Shell would be able to offer one Openreach product, but BT wouldn't offer the same product to the address.

BT is offering me speeds of 60 mbps, while Shell is offering 90 mbps. Shell's minimum gaurenteed speed is 70 mpbs and BT's is 50 mpbs. They both use Openreach cables. Will there be any difference?

Freeholder won't allow fibre installation. (alien.top)
 

I own a leasehold flat. I have been trying to get G.Network fibre internet in my building for a month now. They did a survey but my freeholder has not approved the install. They say other people might complain about cables being in the hallway of the building. G.Network is the only fibre company in my area and the max non-fibre speeds are something like 60 mbps. Is there anything I can do?
