Due to location, age of housing estate, etc I only get 15Mbs on my broadband connection. I would be happy with any of these lines :-)
I was recently only getting 3Mbps max, also due to living in the countryside an hour from the nearest big town, then discovered that we could actually get fttp here amazingly, apparently only 8% of households can get it, so now on 32Mbps and it’s more than enough for us and reliable as hell too!

I've got mine booked and asked the BT sales guy which would be best for me. He said that unless I was NASA then the 150 is way good enough.

Plus, if I do set up a space exploration function, I can just call up and they'll turn the dial to the right for a bit more money.

I've had BT 300 FTTP for about 13 months and it was great and then upgrades to 900. Can't say I notice much difference in my office (which is wired to the router) but as it was the same price it was a no brainer. I've occasionally seen 1.01GB measured on fast.com

The main thing i like is that its absolutely been rock solid.

I went for the BT 900mb package. The only reason for getting it was because a could :smugface: 👍

And yes, you would be lucky to get anywhere near that bandwidth on Wi-Fi - hence I bought a separate 80211.ax (Wi-Fi 6) access point to achieve higher throughput on wireless.

The first house I bought I got 15mb and then FTTC came we got 40mb. This house FTTC 10mb as cabinet was miles away, cabinet upgraded closer (75mb). I'd be getting 900mb just because it was available biggrin
