FTTP monthly Contract?

droopyron

Is there any broadband company that has monthly contracts for FTTP broadband?

My area has just been upgraded to FTTP and I want to try it to see if it is better than Virgin Media as I am still under contract to them but I want to get it installed before I cancel Virgin Media at the end of my contract if they don't reduce what I will be paying  to match what I can get FTTP which I don't think they will.

My end of contract payments are going from £58 a month to £98 a month and I can get FTTP for £33 a month.

I'd bee very suprised if any FTTP provider would want to enter such a short term contract.

There are, some of the comparison sites have a specific section for looking for no contract BB but you have to pay a connection fee and the monthly charges are substantially higher than contract ones

Unlikely you'll find a monthly FTTP provider.

In my experience you'll find FTTP much better than FTTC or ADSL. And if the provider offers a speed that's what you'll get. The main difference tends to be the quality of the provided router and customer service.

Just wait until you are in your last month and see what Virgin will offer you.

Who is the infrastructure supplier? OpenReach, CityFibre or some other Alt-net?

Very few will offer this as the install costs are not cheap and few customers would be willing to fork out £100+ in  install costs for a one month trial.

I doubt you would be either. If it's crap you're down £100+, if it's great you're still down £100+

If you can save ~£25/m on an FTTP provider and they're offering a 12 month contract I'd just go for that. Worst case, you only have to put up with them for about 8 months before breaking even and going back to VM.
