Fibre

I currently have download speeds of 7mb and upload 0.35 these speeds similar to the average speeds for my postcode.

We have 5 adults with phones,tablets etc. I am looking at fibre, I am currently with Plusnet and on checking they estimate speeds up to 35mb for my line.

They have no deals for existing customers, new ones get 6 mths free fibre.

Would 35mb be a good speed for my household needs?

    Yeah 35 Mbps will be a big boost!

    Can watch 7 movies streaming in full HD at a time with that! :)

    I've not long moved from BT to Plusnet.

    Might be worth giving their retentions a call to see if they can offer you something.

    Other providers may be slightly cheaper but you don't need to look hard to see how they perform for customer service and technical support.

    Are you in contract? I contacted them by live chat and I asked how much I would have to pay to leave, they told me to the last penny!!
