Re: Fibre Broadband

My broadband contract has expired so now shopping around to get the best Fibre Broadband package.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I have Sky broadband at the moment but heard their routers are not too good at Fibre speeds?

I've had no problems with Virginmedia, no TM, decent router, spoke to customer service three times about the telephone side of things and all dealt with efficiently and politely with minimal waiting times. What swayed it for me was the overall package price compared to both Sky and BT.

We have Virgin Media at ours. 50Mb broadband, and usually get 40+ d/l speeds using their kit. No cap to d/l limit (been told our last few months has been 90+ Gb...)

Pretty good CS wise - normally answer the phone within 5 minutes, get hold of someone that can help and if we need an engineer usually come within a few days.

Good luck!!

Virgin is cheapest in my area but BT is more stable.

thanks everyone.....by the sounds of it im gutted not to have Virgin available.

I changed from Vigin to BT and it suits us perfectly. Everyone has a different need for broadband...dependent on lifestyle. What suits one definitely wont suit another...

TBF, BT have got some good offers on (Entertainment Plus, Infinity 2 and phone line for about 55 a month) which was tempting.

However the faff to get it all installed made the saving now worth the effort...

Sky have offered me 38MB unlimited broadband, Sky Family TV (50 HD Channels), Evening a& Weekend calls and Line Rental = total £42.40 a month......bargain as far as i can see but just not sure about their routers!

No faff for us. We had it originally...then swapped to Virgin....which got progressively worse for us and needs of the family...so we went back to BT...obviously it was a bit of an upgrade but the initial installation was in place
