So right now I'm a BT customer on the fibre 1 + phone package paying around £31 a month. My contract is expiring at the end of this month, and I'm considering upgrading to the Full Fibre 100 package. Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on how the service is like and if there any better alternatives.
In terms of usage, there are 4 people including myself who use the internet, with around 9-10 connected devices. This includes two company laptops used for WFH (from around 9am to 7pm), PS5, iPad, 4 phones and a MacBook. Most people in the house only use the internet for browsing, social media, YouTube etc. I am the only one who does any 4K streaming and online gaming. With this in mind, will the Fibre 100 package be enough or should I get Fibre 300?
For the price, I have been quoted £37.50 a month for 24 months with £60 credit and no setup fee. It also includes a phone package with 700 minutes. This was the first offer from the BT rep and they were adamant they could not go lower. Is this a good price or should I try to haggle more?
For anyone who has the Full Fibre 100 package, how are the wifi speeds? Do you get close to 150Mbps. I know everyones situation is different, but would still be interesting to know.
And finally, are there any alternatives I should check out? Bare in mind I need a phone line included for my parents who use it. The only provider I could find with a similar price is Virgin, who were offering 200Mbps with anytime minutes for £39 a month on an 18 month contract. However, I've heard that with Virgin I would need to buy a router to get better speeds and they sometimes don't have good latency.
