WHY CHOOSE BT?
BT is one of the UK’s best-known and most trusted Internet Service Providers. The company is investing heavily in its infrastructure with more homes getting faster speeds on an almost daily basis.
In fact, BT’s Openreach, which provides the underlying infrastructure for BT, TalkTalk, Sky, Plusnet, and a number of other popular broadband firms, has connected more than five million homes to its full-fibre infrastructure with it hoped 25 million will get better speeds by 2026.
The company has also brought all of its call centres back to the UK with Marc Allera, CEO of BT’s consumer division, saying: “We know how important providing a personal, and local, service is to our customers.
“We’re delivering on our commitment to answer all of our customer service calls in the UK and Ireland. We know our customers value speaking to someone who understands their issue down to the regional differences that make us so great as a country, whether that’s expert help with tech or chat about the local football team.”
WHAT SPEEDS DO YOU REALLY NEED?
Not sure what BT speeds are best for you? Here’s a quick guide to what your home needs.
We’re all using our broadband more and more but not everyone needs blisteringly quick speeds. If you simply browse the web, send a few emails and watch the odd box set on Netflix then a standard 36Mbps connection should cope just fine.
However, if you have a busy home then you will definitely want something faster and it’s not just about quicker downloads.
Your broadband is a bit like a motorway – the more traffic that runs through it the slower it gets. So, if you have a busy house it’s best to get the fastest speeds you can afford to avoid annoying buffering.
Here’s how long it takes to download a full HD movie with different speeds on offer from the UK’s ISPs.
SPEED 36Mbps – DOWNLOAD TIME = 16 minutes
SPEED 76Mbps – DOWNLOAD TIME = 7 minutes
SPEED 150Mbps – DOWNLOAD TIME = 4 minutes
SPEED 300Mbps – DOWNLOAD TIME = 2 minutes
SPEED 1Gbps – DOWNLOAD TIME = 40 seconds
