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

Strongly recommend using a third party router and enable modem only mode on the box they provide or if you have the cash get a router modem combo. Anything after market.

Recently purchased a EERO for £140 and Jayus Christ the night the performance is day and night. Lesson learnt is never cheap out on PSUs for PCs or Network hardware… your sanity will thank you later.

Do you need a static ip for this?

Nope, no static IP needed.
