Hi I have been on fibre for a year and thinking of going back to normal broadband
We have a now tv box that has films when we find an offers like the Samsung my galaxy offer
Also my son plays his x box online
Any advice please

To me, 'normal broadband' is 2 MBps
To others it may be half this or five times more.

What about you?

Definitely check the expected speed for the ADSL service to your home.

Your usage sounds about medium, and the savings between ADSL & Fibre are not as great as they were (depending on your supplier).

Normal is the standard tariff 17MBS or fibre at 34MBS
going off Talktalk web site and who I am currently with.

Yes but what could you actually get on ADSL.

Use this to check the estimated speed for your property. Use the address checker.

I'm sick of being driven in a Rolls Royce, I think I'll go back to getting the bus.

Don't do it, it will only be worse.

Definately check what you would get.

My choice here is fibre or unuseable!

And I don't mean that like some people would, I mean sub 512k no streaming etc etc. I am just top far from the exchange for non fibre to work.

The ADSL thing is all 17mB and looks the same as what I call normal BB where as my fibre BB is 34+ MB
I think I will stay on Fibre now for an extra £5 per month
Thanks everyone

I did not think you could go back to normal once you had upgraded to fibre?

Edit. Just done some searching on other forums and at least one poster has said that he downgraded with Sky. Another poster said that BT told him it was not possible. However, it seems that most people who request the downgrade are simply offered better deals and end up staying with fibre.
