The service has over the past year been quite good, but over the past few days the service has dropped off noticably. Why I don’t know, but given the way the cables where laid from Cheltenham out to this area, circa 20 miles, I would not be surprised if this is a durability issue.

I've been with Gigaclear ever since they came to our village in July 2016 and the difference between their 100mbps and the previous 3Mbps (or 4 if you were lucky) we had from Talk Talk is staggering. That's fibre to the home for you. I work from home and my business is totally dependent on my broadband connection. They haven't been faultless - we've had outages during that time, some for a day when someone somewhere has severed a cable. But they answer the phone and communicate when there is a problem, which for a solo business is pretty important.

Having switched over from a truly awful Talk Talk service to a fibre to the home supply from Gigaclear I can honestly say it's one of the best decisions I have ever made.

Over a year on and the service is incredibly reliable and whilst there were some interruptions in the early days these were well communicated and scheduled to avoid peak hours.

I get exactly what I pay for and regular speed tests confirm an unwavering consistency in speed both up and down.

Could not be happier and have also ditched an equally awful BT converting my phone service to VOIP.
