Why I upgraded to fast BT Fibre 900 broadband

Күн бұрын

BT has released the BT Halo 3, promising an unbreakable home connection with a hybrid connection, reliable Wi-Fi in every room, and game-changing speeds. Combine this with BT Full Fibre 900, and this is the UK's fastest and most reliable broadband connection?
I have taken this fibre package out at home from BT. I'll look at what you need to consider before signing up for this. I will go through the installation and run some speed tests. I concluded this is an excellent product - well done, BT!

what you term as a modem is a ONT Optical Network Termination box, the battery backup has rechargeable AA batterys in it and is designed only for the 999 numbers in event of a power cut, the other ports would not work for the simple reason that the port you are using is the only live port on the ONT, you change ports @ renewal plug out /plug in, no engineer required, the mobile phone speedtests are a bit misleading as that phone will be utilising its 5G capability eg very fast but very narrow bandwidth, a truer measure of speed would be from your pc using the speedtest app installed on ur pc

@studioidris Жыл бұрын

You can connect an ethernet cable between the BT hub and your first Google mesh wifi router. This should provide an internet connection to the Google mesh, which you can configure through the Google app as usual.

When City Fibre arrives in your area you should have equal upload and download starting at 100/100 to 900/900. You need to ask BT to increase your Upload load speed to over 250 mbs from 110mps.

@don1estelle Жыл бұрын

If you have Full Fibre your Broadband should be realy stable with no perceptible dropouts! so your very unlikely to need the unbreakable 4 or 5g mobile internet every other BT unbreakable will be on customers giving you a verry slow connection. PS Virgin Media states a 1Gb + speed BT always state lower speeds than other providers.

@studioidris Жыл бұрын

Yes, the dropout rate is meagre, perhaps twice a year, in my experience. It also tends to occur in the middle of the night when usually no one is using the internet in my home.

Problem with BT is they wont let you ever downsize your 24 month Contract part way through it, they will be like FCK you no way,even if you have a package including land line and broadband and you want to remove for example your up front land line rental fee 12 months into the 24 month contract forget the loyalty rubbish and the anything the person that sold the 24 month package to you,they want around £250 so you can leave and move to a broadband only deal elsewhere.

3three was first to combine both home broadband & mobile Wi-fi. Three infant are the only uk provider to offer true wireless 5g home router far faster than fiber which works out cheaper as well due to no line rental 😁

Why pay for 900mbps when you're only getting around 500? You might as well downgrade to the 500mbs package.

@studioidris 7 ай бұрын

To get the higher speeds, you need the other hardware in your home to support such speeds.

@ram64man Жыл бұрын

500 mbs is below the threshold for them to do investigation, at first I thought they ply you into a 500 fttp , if it’s still the same at 1 in the morning give them a call. that backup is Appalling, especially considering it’s supposed to be a 5G connection. They clearly have it set to 3.5g

That's just due to the UK building a vast telecommunications network back in the day. By 2025 the copper network will shut down and everyone should be on Full Fibre. We will then hopefully see price competition take place then. As right now full fibre is seen as "premium"
