BT home hub internet

[broughtonblue]

Any of you on this ISP? Thinking of changing to them but want feedback before signing up to a 12 month contract incase it is shite. Our house will be using 2 xboxes, 3 laptops and couple of iPods probably all at same time at some point. Just wondering about lagging etc when gaming.

Have you been on their website and checked what broadband speed your postcode will give you?

Ive been with BT for a couple of years now, a year in kibworth and now again in oadby. Kibworth was around 6-7Mb which was plenty enough for my xbox and 2 laptops( although bear in mind if the laptops are streaming video then there could be abit of lag online on the xbox.

My speed at my house now is a measely 1.5Mb and i was all for cancelling at the end of the contract because it just isnt enough. But BT Infinity is being installed in my area in december and will be able to recieve 30Mb then for the same price i pay now.

To summarise i would check to see what speed you will receive, check if virgin supply your area though too as their fibre optic broadband seems to be awesome according to my mate( although customer service not great apparantly!)

If BT offer you their fibre optic broadband(infinity) then virgin will also be able to more than likely so then its just a case of which is cheapest.

If you can get fibre optic then Virgin is a good option:

Ourw was great before I moved to uni. Would recommend fibre optic now I've got that but if you don't need anything super fast it's good and very reliable, very rarely cut out and had no connection issues.
