What I did not like was the fact the engineer who installed it didn't know what the extender was and just left it in the box and said that he knew nothing about it so left with an extension with no instructions I find this very poor service

Proper Scottish Broadband

Switched over from Vodafone on cityfibre, using my own router. Vodafone kept changing disconnection dates but my calls to Brawband to change the switchover were fast and they were happy to accommodate. On the day, voda disconnected at midnight, when I got home I out my brawband username and password into my router and it connected.

Connection has been up 100% of the time, speeds are always 900mbit both ways. On the 'basic' 900mbit package they used CG-NAT which means you share an IP address with others but this hasn't affected anything. It just means my IP address says I am in Glasgow but fortunately I actually "pop out" onto the internet in Edinburgh.

Had a referal so first month and a half have been free, and £30pm for these speeds is better than the rest.

Hi Nicola, thanks for taking the time to leave us a review. Today's games deserve a reliable internet connection, and we're glad to be providing that for you. We really have moved on from the days of mashing up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start, haven't we?!

Excellent no-nonsense broadband

From my short-list of CityFibre ISP's (available in the Edinburgh area), Brawband were the best in terms of support, equipment offering and price and have continued to meet my expectations.

Pre-sales technical queries by phone or email were answered promptly and effectively. On the odd occasion their phone line was busy, I was called back within a few minutes (unprompted). The supplied router and mesh device were delivered well ahead of the installation date, and performance is good and stable. Router set-up is flexible and allowed me to reserve specific device IP Addresses and configure VoIP phone parameters to my requirements.

The CityFibre team arrived on time and the install was completed quickly and without fuss. An account discrepancy I had with the first month's invoice was quickly rectified by Brawband.

Thanks so much for your kind words, Allan. Customer experience and satisfaction is so important to us, and we're so pleased to hear all your interactions with our team were so positive. Happy browsing!

Fats and responsive and at a great price.

Much better speeds and all for more than half the price of my previous Virgin Media Broadband. Easy set up and has been stable since install 2 weeks ago. Also a nice earner for credit as I recommend this to all my family as it becomes available.
Their replies to my presale queries where all answered within an hour, I am still waiting for a reply from some of the alternatives. This is an easy recommendation.

Late start

Although the guys were late getting started because of the previous job, they worked in the dark to achieve a successful outcome.

So far my experience hasn't been…Far from ideal.

So far my experience hasn't been fantastic. I live in a small two bedroom bungalow, the router was positioned in the bedroom and the signal is fine, but the signal in the living room (next room across the hall) is very poor. We have had to move our printer into the bedroom and the TV in the living room has difficulty in connecting. Not ideal.
