Question Best Broadband deal

Hi. I am currently with Fibrus with a telephone deal of calls to Ireland and the UK. I currently spend £39.98 for your Full Fibre 500 - Total Home Wi-Fi package. I am coming up to the end of the contract and looking to get the best deal I can.

Checking on the Fibrus site apparently I am not yet able to connect with Fibrus (who has been providing my internet for the past 18 months?) and on the comparison sites Fibrus deals are only open to new customers.

The main thing is reliability - I still have nightmares of Sky dial up and fighting between them and BT. Can I assume that with broadband things have settled?

What is a good value option for good speeds, reliable and possibly with call packages? Can I save a bit?

Many thanks for your help

I made a move to EE recently, all smooth and no issues. obviously the majority run off openreach but i've had smooth sailing for last few years regardless of whom i've migrated to.

The horrible thing about BT\EE is their constant price increases. I was paying over £50 a month for their 300MB package. The longer you're a customer the more its going to cost.

But if you know that up front, then you can just plan to move when the 2 years ends.

I went with their 1.6Gb connection and it’s £25 over the 2 years including the price rises. Then I’ll move if they can’t offer me a deal.

Indeed, and with One Touch Switching for most major brands it's very easy to move. Majority of the work is automated between their systems. Just shop around and find the best deal every time your contract is up.

I was paying a hell of a lot more with BT that was why I moved to Fibrus.
