As per title, looking to change in the next few months and these guys have been in our area, offering 1000mb for 30 a month, even have a 8000mb package which I didn't think was possible in residential areas yet. I need reliable Internet for work, can't tolerate periods of loss of service. So has anyone had experience with youfibre good or bad, cheers.
Anyone have any experience of youfibre

I don't have any personal experience with YouFibre, but a quick google seems to suggest they are getting lots of good feedback. I would do some research with "YouFibre Review" as a search. This was one of the first hits = YouFibre is rated "Excellent" with 4.8 / 5 on Trustpilot
If you want to check services available in your area, this is a terrific site (enter postcode in top right hand corner)

We’ve had youfibre installed for just over a year now and can happily say it’s been more reliable than when we had virgin media’ we got the 1GB package for £25 a month including a eero pro 6 as main router plus a eero 6 mesh extender for upstairs’ overall it’s been an excellent service and much better than virgin media which was off nearly every week or so where we live.
Nice one, cheers for the feedback, currently have sky but they keep upping the costs, it has been reliable but sometimes nice to have a change.
Worth looking at cashback sites, quite often get a gift card when you change.

Very nice, got to wonder what that 8000 is like, probably need to be streaming 4k on about 20 Telly's to make a dent in it.

I know CEO. Nice chap. Good company. Good product.
I would say 8000 is a typo error. Uk doesn't have the resources for 8gb speeds at the minute. Think some countries like Canada can get close to 10gb but in the UK its still 1gb
One of my colleagues in Santa Clara (US) upgraded his 1Gb connection to 10Gb last year. Insane connection speed

It’s not a typo. Its an XGS-PON service, which is a 10 Gbps shared bus per 128 local properies.
Wow, you are correct - scroll down on this link to see the speeds they offer (if available in area)

It seems outrageous, but, there are a wave of new providers (called alt-nets) doing the same thing.,I’m also connected to one, at that kind of speed.
That is outrageous, remember the old dial up days waiting for a website to fully load, painful. Now we complain about buffering streaming 4k lol
Had a few beers but, Website that must have been new I remember bulitin boards would take about 4 hours to upload two 1.44mb floppy disks
and even then we were using methods called boxing you would phone large company nearest local that had there own telephone exchange and it would cost price of local phone call.Did well out of that was biggest uploader to iceland for accsess old cracking group years back.
so once you connected there you would send the dial tones to connect to other countries all over the world.
And I will never forget when one of my friends was on holiday in america and I tried to phone him got the country code wrong ended up calling a cinema in singapore with girl asking if i wanted to book tickets
