I have 14 months to run on my BT Fibre 1 FTTC contract. Been happy with the service for the last 3 years but in the last month or so I've noticed slowing and occasional dropouts late afternoons/ evenings.

Broadband Access - A Word Of Warning
In sites like Rightmove and MSE where it asks you to put in a postcode, and even Broadband Genie where you specify the address within the postcode, the results that come up from companies are NO guarantee that the company can provide the service.
