It might help if you said who you are with

The usual is to ring your supplier, speak to customer retentions and explain that you are thinking of leaving because of the cost, then they usually cut a better deal.

£38 for gigabit isn't bad tbh....

If you are in a place with good mobile signal, also explorer the mobile broadband route. You can buy a modem/router (e.g. TpLink) and put a SIM card inside. Depending on network, you can get good enough speed for streaming videos and you will have only a SIM contract with your network provider. 

This is same as using your mobile hotspot but the router will be mains powered so you can keep it on 24 hours and if you take unlimited data plan you have no need to worry about breaching data limit.

Do you want to remain with gigabit fibre?

I pay half of what you pay, but I'm on standard broadband FTC - speed is probably 5% of gigabit.

am with hyperoptic

Cheapest found in that region for me is Vodaphone £30 for 910Mbps all the rest £40 upwards.

Or theres Octaplus £35 900Mbps based in Hull but may go for the Summer Bonanza £35 500Mbps 4K box, Soundbox and 12 months Amazon

You don't need 1Gb for that but at that price I pay that for 63Mbps , oh and I doubt you will get 1Gbps on your mobiles/desktop using wifi.

4 in the family here, all have mobiles and laptops, there's a Nintendo and 2 smart TVs with Netflix and Amazon Prime. We have 80Mbps and it's more than adequate. Honestly I think we'd be fine on 40Mbps.

Is that over their own fibre? Switching may mean you need a new fibre connection installed by Openreach (if available).

For new customers 1Gb is £30 and 500Mb is £27 on Hyperoptic, so something to aim for.

Hello - just jumping in on this as looking to downsize broadband cost wise also. This suggestion sounds appealing to me - do you know if I could modify the network so that there is a Guest wifi sign in within this  i.e. - as can do with say Virgin ?

Thank you!
