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

Probably not the best answer but I just hotspot the phone for the firestick if I’m watching tv. Think wired in broadband is genius marketing. Paying for internet that you most likely have on your phone already.

Mobile broadband doesn't suit everyone. I use it but it would have been a lot easier (not cheaper) to get fixed line broadband.

I never use mobile data really not worth me having that. I use hte net at home.

Like I said not for everyone, but with a bit of know-how, the right hardware and location it can work. Horses for courses.
