Recently found out that Digi has entered the UK market, offering uncomparable deals to any other UK provider. In other countries they have completely disrupted the market, and it would be amazing to see this happen in the UK too.

2G - £20
10G - £25

No contracts - Montly rolling

I placed an order on Saturday, and today, Monday, they installed the line.

The install went great; the engineers were friendly, but they did something the other ISP that I have didn't. They actually ran the fiber to where I wanted it, to the loft on my server rack on the other side of the fiber entrance, and ran it nicely over the top joists and even left a few meters slack on the fiber in case in the future I would want to relocate the rack.

So far the connection has been fine, working as expected. Speed test saturating my 2G LAN

I got the 10G Line; the router is the ZTE F8748

I have my own Eero mesh, so I wanted bridge mode. I needed to ask technical support for this, unfortunately, since the option doesn't show on the web interface. They enabled it for me remotely and gave me the PPoe credentials.

The IP is under CGNAT, so bridge mode won't do much, but maybe reduced the latency by 1ms.

The ONT is integrated with the router.
Public IP is not available yet; they said they are working on it.

For some, the fact that it is monthly rolling is not ideal since they could raise the prices whenever they want; on the other hand, in the other countries where they operate, they haven't done price increases, so I think it's genuinely a good deal.

If you are interested, I believe they are currently covering areas of Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire.

I'm not affiliated with Digi, just a customer. Happy to answer any questions and feedback in a few days

Use the code DIGI295SK on the order page (https://www.digi.uk/en/configurator/bundle) for a free month for both of us.

Has anyone else noticed UPS in the UK getting significantly worse lately?

We've been using UPS for years and have a dedicated parcel collection box right next to our front door with a huge "UPS Logo parcel box" sign on it. It's been completely foolproof for years and we've never really had issues before for deliveries and collections, even has a snack box with snacks for them.

This week, however, we've had three failed collections. Every day seems to be a different outsourced driver in an unmarked vehicle. They arrive, press the doorbell, wait a few seconds, and then drive off without even checking the collection notes or looking in the parcel box that's literally next to the doorbell.

It honestly feels like the collection instructions aren't being passed on to these new contractors, or they simply aren't reading them.

The service has been pretty shocking recently, and it's getting to the point where we're considering moving to another courier because we can't keep delaying customers

orders which is sad because we have had amazing UPS drivers in the past and for the most part next day deliveries to most of the UK
