From 50 mb to 75 mb

cherry76 · 19 April at 8:20AM

Switching to full fibre with sky soon. Currently getting 50 mb with bt. Low user mainly browsing and watching Netflix. With sky can get 75 mb for £21, is it worthy to pay extra £2 for 150 mb a month single user. Thanks

Only you can answer the question whether its "worthy" or not. If you have a need for the extra speed, like you download a heck of a lot of stuff or you do a lot of gaming that requires gigabytes of downloads every update, then maybe.

I'd say for most people, no. But as above, it really depends on your personal circumstances.

For example, do you have a video doorbell or cameras? Do you play online games which require quick reactions (e.g. shooters)?

If no to all the above, then 50mb is probably fine for you. Did you have any issues with your internet speed before you saw this offer?

I'm currently in a property with a 75mb connection. 4 of us have access, we've streamed Netflix, watched youtube, Sky sports etc and experience is no different to the 900meg service we have at home.

If you aren't transferring lots of data, or live streaming no need for the mega speeds.

Are you talking speeds ie Mbps or an allowance of some sort?

Obviously speeds.

I've just swapped from 48Mbps to 450. Only difference I've actually noticed is much faster downloads when devices are updating or content is being loaded to phones/tablets for offline viewing.

That's just the two of us and a single UHD TV.

Unless you've got multiple concurrent sessions of online gaming, or 3-4 UHD TVs I doubt if you'd notice.

Recently upgraded from 78mps to 500mps, cannot tell any difference, apart from the wifi range extends further around my house, which is a detached 1904 house, with double brick downstairs walls.
