→Things to be aware of

FTTP from providers like BT or CityFibre use GPON or XGS-PON technology to run fibre from their core network to your premises. This is a '''shared service''', which means you do not have guaranteed sole use of the bandwidth that your service is provided at. eg, a 1Gb/s connection does not mean that BT or CityFibre guarantee that you will have 1Gb/s speeds. Both BT and CityFibre will have figures for the '''guaranteed speed''' which will me much lower than the connection speed.
eg, with CityFibre, their 1Gb/s (when using GPN) is stated to have a 1:32 ratio and a download Committed rate of 70Mb/s and upload Committed rate of 30Mb/s. More info of the rates on: https://www.aa.net.uk/broadband/fttp-speeds/
