Quality of tesco broadband

elpico

Sick of paying a small fortune to BT so thinking of moving to tesco unlimited with up to 14 Mb. What are peoples' view on the broadband quality with tescos? i'm a bit worried i wont be able to get near 14 mb at peak times thus impacting lovefilm / internet viewing.

Sad i missed out the voucher deal too!

thx in advance.

No personal experience but I think they are subject to a fair use policy rather than being unlimited

Yeah getting sustained 15mb which is more than i need. I'm way below tescos fair usagr policy and if it means dropping down to 10mb thats worh it to me.

Also looking at tesco broadband looking at reviews not looking good.

Ok, going to update here as finally got Tesco installed and been running the last month. Overall very happy with service. They have a freephone number (if you dial from a tesco phone) and on all occasions they have responded quickly and professionally.

Finally the broadband speed. In general it's been just as quick as my original BT (none-FTTB) but I'm not complaining for £2.50 a month in first year! Contention in evenings seems to occur if we are heavily using it (ie lovefilm plus browsing plus someone streaming music).

One point worth raising is I thought there was an option to pay full line rental in advance to save money but Tesco's deny knowledge of that.

Still, I'm forecasted to save about £300 quid this year by switching from BT to Tescos which is great!
