Which provider to go with?

Hi guys,

Long story short, just moved into a new property where fibre optic broadband is available.

I'm looking for internet usage, for some gaming and downloading also, but not excessive amounts and also looking for some form of TV package, potentially Sky or YouView/BT Vision, which allows recording and live pause etc, dependant on price.

Can any of you guys advise me of the best deals on the market at the moment?

Which is the best way to go?

Do I even need fibre optic broadband or is it just a fad?

Thanks in advance

I thought like you do i really need FTTC?
But since having it's great, watching the F1 at the weekend (on the pc) the picture was superb as i could stream it at around 34 mbps before i was on 02 and it was around 4-5 mbps picture quality was very low and it kept buffering.

Since broadband is exchange-specific, start with an exchange search on https://www.samknows.com for your LLU options.
