Must be unlimited usage - they us *a lot* of data.
Speed is not a real issue, and down stream is the only concern.
I don't think more than 10Mbps is required as there are only the two of them in the flat, and around 2MBps should be enough for streaming a single HD movie.
that'll be because they are dumbed down to the lowest common denominator
the lowest (per month) price
if you want something non standard and are prepared to pay a higher price get it
comparisons sites are a complete waste of time
Oh dear!
how does anyone manage?
tim (who's lucky when he get 12 megabits)
obviously wired
there would be no need to limit it to a property rental term if it were mobile
would there?
not in the slightest bit surprised
there's never a minimum term on standard policies for gas and electric
there's no "new connection" costs to recover from the monthly charges
Personally I would pay for 12 months, be really pleased that competition has made this product so cheap, and note that the unused 3/12 is worth a lot less than than the extra cost of arranging a monthly or bespoke 9 month contract.
Like (a recent example) 1kg of staples costs a lot less than 6-700g in small packets; if I didn't want to keep the leftover half pound I'd recycle them with a clear conscience, confident I'd still got a good bargain because of economies of scale. Or in this instance economies of being the most popular tariff.
yup. I bought '10/40' - I get 10/34 or thereabouts.
£26 a month then for the unlimited one. Basically unlimited access to whatever the copper will give.
IDNET dont charge for bandwith, just traffic, and te unllimited one is what it says. I had that for 4 years now and never been charged extra

I'd be happy with anything more than an eigth of that; as it would be an improvement. This, of course, has nothing to do with the ISP; it's the (lack of investment in) local infrastructure that's the problem.

Think Netflix will slowly ramp the bit rate up and down to match what the line can provide and the max resolution (HD, 4K etc) the sub allows.
BBC iPlayer HD (which I think is 1270 x ??? rather than 1920x1080) runs nearer 3 Mbps. So 10 Mbps is fine for that but may limit the top end for Netflix 4K. B-)
Not so easy for gas, electricity & water...
Not that the above is a patriculary relevant now we know the share is just with one other and a best friend. Some what different to half a dozen effectively strangers...
These kids watch everything on their laptopa. No way will they notice if it is HD or 4K on a 13"/14" screen.
Investigate the 4G router option.
Typically £22/3 per month, ?unlimited? data, speed not usually a problem unless you are in a poor signal area (I typically get 30M + ), portable, ......
I use one in the motorhome.
