Increase from Sky broadband dropped, they couldn’t do anything about the price increase (checked alt plans and discounts), but they did say I could leave anytime so will just wait for cityfibre to roll out and hopefully get some gig speeds for <£28pm 
The increase dropped? You young people with your crazy talk…

As in, then increase dropped to my mailbox.
I’m also 37 in less than 2 weeks, not so young 
That is still very young I’ve got rock band t-shirts older than that

I was wondering why Virgin massively cut prices from mid January in my area.
It looks like OpenReach are finishing FTTP works in my area in the next 3 months.
Sadly I am locked in on a more expensive plan that I couldn’t leave.
When they had monopoly the lowest I saw for 1gig was £33.
I am even now seeing other providers quoted with those speeds. Before I left EE in 2023 I had signed up to get notified once they get up to speed and they did.
I have now added an O2 Volt after Three agreeing to let me go fee free due to poor reception. I will keep paying £27.99 for 1Gbps no April increase this year, and unlimited O2 sim for £12.
We’ve had FTTP for a few years now and the Virgin deals have also improved massively over that time.
No idea how long you have left, but various providers do have offers to pay for some level of cancellation fee.

I will play those games once this monopoly is dealt with.
Just signed up for Toob. 900Mb up and down for £18 via Topcashback.
Sky somehow let you exit early when they do a price increase so took advantage.
May need to buy a new Eero as my 6s can only handle 500Mb on WiFi.
Do you need more than that?

Prob not lol. But CEX have some 6E Pros for quite a tempting price.
Ended up buying a tri-band WiFi 7 Deco BE9300 as it’s on sale at Amazon.
This thing is a beast. One unit has replaced the two Eero 6 units I previously had.
I’m getting 800Mb down / 1Gb up on my iPhone in the living room where it’s positioned.
My Mac Mini two floors up in the loft has gone from 159Mb down to 574Mb.
I’m still not sure if it makes a practical difference but it makes me happy. We do have a lot of concurrent usage so I’m guessing it’s going to help with that a lot.
Just need to sell the Eeros now.

I bought the same thing a few weeks back when Costco had it on offer. Agree that it’s a great piece of kit and covers the house with better speeds than my old Deco P9 setup

TP-link makes good networking devices. I am a satisfied customer. I have few bits that work well.
I have a 1Gbps connection and took of my mesh devices, I could still get 900mbps in the bedrooms upstairs. Even the naughty bathroom that is not good with reception gets 400mbps. The virgin hub 5 could struggle with devices out of the sitting room where it is.
Even on the street I get good signal while parked in the car.

Very nice!
I got the XE75 Pros a few months back which replaced my old M4s. Incredible bit of kit and similar to you, I get max speed now across the whole house ~900mbps through Sky.
