Which is best BT/Plus Net or Sky Fibre-Vodafone Fibre ending soon?

My Vodafone Fibre package ends 11th July and it hasn't been great with lots of drop outs when watching even catch up TV.

Have had SSE Fibre before & again wasn't great and prior to that SKY non fibre which I don't remember being as bad as Vodafone.

I can get BT/Plus Net or Sky FIBRE all around the £22 to £23 mark.


Which one would you choose?

    I'd check your set up before just jumping to another provider, or the problem is likely to simply follow you to another contract.

    Are the drop outs via WiFi or a wired connection? I'd go for the Sky fibre rather than ADSL at that price regardless.

    No problem with the line apparently. Issue gets worse in the evenings. Pretty poor show if you can't even watch normal catch up tv without buffering.

    I'd pay more to get a proper ISP and not look at the price..

    I'm fairly sure all three of those are ISP's ('proper' ISP makes no sense).

    If you mean an overpriced ISP then I can't see what you're paying double (or whatever the price may be) for over any of them three at least.
