I don’t think “anything close” is even vaguely true. I have openreach FTTP at 900mbps down, and the bandwidth is the same or better than I ever got with virgin gigabit. I’m also about to switch to another FTTP provider who provides 900mbps down 900mbps up for £25 a month. Plus with both of those I can pay a little extra to have a monthly rolling contract.
Additionally my average latency dropped by more than half when ditching Virgin. I was genuinely shocked at how much better it was.
The other provider is Toob and they are indeed quite limited in location currently. I still pay less for a rolling contract with Cuckoo for my openreach connection that I did for Virgin gigabit (by ~£10).

Fair enough, you are paying for the 1gb with Open reach though. I’m way off the mark anyway since this is about WiFi.
Curious about the other provider? Last time I checked most of the other providers are very very limited in area coverage.
