Stay on Voda or move to Sky ?

Stay on Voda or move to Sky ?

Hi, I have been on Voda (CF) for the last 2 years. Decent-ish line although I have noticed high latency at times.

I've seen Sky have an offer (which ends tomorrow) and offers the same 1gb CF product for about the same price. Reading around, it seems Sky have better latency.

I'm a causal gamer but want to get more into it, the perception of high latency puts me off. My download speeds have always been decent but I think I have notice high latency during peak, when pages can take abit longer to load.

Just setup ThinkBroadband Broadband Quality Monitor last night so no meaningful data yet.

I have noticed when doing Speedtest.net tests it mostly showed up as as Edinburgh and but now show Bracknell. Upload latency of 11ms and download latency of 9ms. Again, only been testing it for a couple of days. I'm assuming Voda have switched peering to Bracknell so latency has got much better, maybe its a temporary thing (Londoner here)

Should I switch to Sky ? I don't care for Voda's free Fixed IP, read that might get 1.2gb line on Sky , latency is generally better

Is it Android 17 ? Can I stay on Android 16 ?

Hi

First time trying GrapheneOS. I've always been running LineageOS

I can see that the latest version for my Pixel 8a, is 2026062800 - Is this Android 17 ?

I have some critical apps which will not work on Android 17 (they will probably be updated in the next 1 or 2 months). It seems that GOS update quickly. I

It seems that GOS don't keep older builds, I do not mind installing the last GOS build based on Android 16 and waiting a month or two but its not possible to download older builds?

Also

I am currently on LineageOS 23.2 (Android 16). Is there any anti rollback triggered if I test GOS (assuming its Android 16) and then try to revert back to LOS 23 (Android 16)
