My brother has Gig ethernet in London, 1G in both directions. Lives south of the river, even... :)

I've got AT&T GigE here in San Jose, but he's had it for longer than I have.

So, the legends are true, and there are actually people south of the river? ;)

Seriously though, in my flat in SE15, I had some decent DSL (as good as it can be, with pitiful bandwidth but it was really stable). I planned to get Hyperoptic to lay some fibre, but then I moved to a different place with 10/10 FTTH.

My pet peeve in London is the patchiness of 4G and 5G coverage. It’s a bloody big city, and yet I regularly get no bars at all in zones 1 and 2. It’s the same for broadband: some streets are great, other very much less so.


EE doesn't work at my house and they don't care. Vodafone and O2 are better in my area, but I'm lucky if I get HSPA around my tube station.

Really looking forward to getting mobile data on the tube.
