Which broadband provider

littlereddevil

As my BT contract is coming to an end I am also undecided who to go with for fib re, sky or plusnet. What are the pros and cons between the two?

I'll copy and paste the test results when I get home from work


a few people in my area have told me sky does not work very well and when I do the speed test it shows speeds on my street as 0.76-2.6 so maybe I should still with talktalk as a provider

So are you ordering Fibre or not?

Did it give you any speed estimate for 21CN?

I already have fibre with BT so yes it would be fibre I would be having. Didn't see speed estimate, I will look again

Speed estimate for 21CN wouldn't be applicable if you're going with Fibre.

I just did a BT broadband check and it says
WBC ADSL 2+ up to 2.5 for up
Max up to 2
Down is 1 to 4 and 1 to 3.5 for max

That won't matter if you're going to get Fibre.

What does Sky & PlusNet offer for Fibre? Compare the prices on both.

Topcashback is offering up to £105 for PlusNet Fibre, as is Sky.
