Nope, none whatsoever.

Absolutely none. All the providers are in exactly the same situation.

1434161 2017-04-13 05:24:00 You've made this comment before and I've replied before, it is the same price or cheaper. .
I know.
You pointed to the shitty 30mbps plans.
Like Wainui said, limited speed.

That theory probably came from when they used to be the same company.
But not any more

Absolutely,
if you are on ADSL2+ unlimited the 30/10 optical plan is the same price and faster
If you are on VDSL unlimited the 100/30 optical plan is the same price and faster

Where's the part where fibre isn't at least the same price? You want 100/30 for the price you can get Adsl 2+ with it's 16-24 down and 0.9 up before you consider it to be the same ? Hardly a rational comparison.
