Internet

Sick of VM increasing prices. I pay just for internet what new customers pay for a package inc TV and phone.

Thinking about sacking them off but need good internet

Any advice lads?

 

If you're beyond the agreed contract length, then ring them up and tell them exactly that, if they don't match the same package, then **** them clean off and get a new supplier. Easy done

 

They are all as good/bad as each other

 

I would do this with most other things but I need decent internet connection and it always seems VM are the best

What I need us basically advice in say his good talk talk are, if people use them.

 

I just need a fast connection suitable for multiple users

 

I use sky, but try Plusnet and avoid talk talk

 

There's a comparison site now that'll show the speed and cost of each supplier by postcode.

What do you guys know about speed?

I mean VM say up to 100 and BT say up to 56 and others say 17mb

Do I need 100, bearing in mind there are multiple users on laptops tablets etc?

 

How many users in multiple and is it commercial or merely domestic use?

 

Its purely domestic

We have 9 people in the house in total using WiFi for phones, tablets or computers for homework, streaming or social media

 

Have you speed tested your current supply?

 

Current supply hasn't been an issue, its VM.

It's cost that is annoying as VM do better offers for new customers than existing. So for £32+ I get just BB but a new customer gets BB, phone and TV for same price.

Plusnet are really cheap but speed is up to 17mb don't want to sign up if its huge difference

 

No mate, I mean have you actually speed tested it using an online tester, so that you can see what you're getting (as opposed to what they're saying is the *max* speed) and can then therefore make a judgement as to what level you need, as if you're only getting say 17MB and it's working fine for your household then you know where you are.

 

I get around 64mb connection with Sky, but I am quite close to a BT box

 

Oh yeah sorry I did get that and should have clarified.

Its high 30's early 40's what I get currently iirc

 

How good is BT in your house?

What i mean is we have the VM box in the front room of a semi and the loft is not good for reception for wifi

 

I must confess fellas its all gobbledygook to me the whole ping rate and Mbps

I just run cable from the box to my bedroom to avoid WiFi if watching movies etc on laptop

 

Fine, but I dont use wifi, but a hard connection, kids use Wifi but as the house is a 60s build, they need boosters get get a good connection over 40mb.

 

I'm addicted to the internet.

 

I use Sky broadband No complaints at all.
