Talk Talk vs BT Infinity

I'm with TT for broadband and phone at the mo and no problems with them, bit slow at times but as a casual user it doesn't really bother me. Good value IMO.

But I've found out that BT Infinity would give me access to BT hotspots when I'm out and about which would be useful.

So my questions are - is BT Infinity a superior product to TT, in terms of broadband speed, price etc. are their hotspots as numerous as they claim, would I always be able to find one ?

Thanks for your assistance as always

    If you get TT fibre then the speeds will be exactly the same.

    Price. Who knows. Depends what deal you haggle out of them. Customer service well TT are terrible. But if your unlucky BT are not that great either.

    I get free BT wifi on my Vodafone package. So not the only option to get BTwifi. Not sure if other mobile providers offer it?

    Will you ALWAYS be able to find one. No. Depends on your location It doesnt cover the entire country.
    Possibly limited to several shops in a town.

    There are 3 hotspots within a 5 mile radius of me. Nothing within 1 mile at all.

    Check this map.

    thank you so much, I had hoped for one second that BT would be the "magic bullet" ! Won't bother, I'll just head for the nearest Starbucks.
