Hey, I’m in the UK and have been getting bombarded by a somewhat-aggressive campaign by YouFibre for their broadband. The actual claims they make are pretty impressive and their Trustpilot score is good, but it’s a little too good and a lot of the reviews feel a bit off so I’m skeptical. Looking on sites other than Trustpilot they seem a little worse, particularly a lack of decent support. Does anyone have experience with them?

Also feels strange that Netomnia would have full fibre set up for my postcode before Openreach or Virgin…

    The more a company is spammed in advertisements the less likely I am to use it, as I strongly associate ads with scams

      There used to be a post socialist era mindset that people from my country used to have back in the 90s. It’s simply that if you have to advertise for your product, it’s probably bad. And overprized because you were spending money on ads. I remember the older generation specifically bought unadvertised products recommended by people they knew.
