Full Fibre: How to connect to router upstairs?
I'm no expert when it comes to wifi and routers etc. but I'm thinking of changing to full fibre.

Can I come back to gfast if I switch to full fibre? Or could someone else take the slot?
I have a gfast contract with TalkTalk. I am quite happy with it, I reliably get 130-150 Mbs download and 20-30 Mbs upload speeds. I don't really need more; the only reason I'm considering changing is that prices have gone up, and now I can get full fibre for less than the £32 Talktalk will charge me. My question in this…

Hi all I am looking to maybe save money and have a faster internet connection. Anyone recommend BT? Someone in the BT Forum mentioned that BT don't throttle or impose any restrictions/limits.
