What to look for

  • 100 Mbps minimum; 300 Mbps is comfortable for a household of four to six.
  • Full fibre is more stable when several streams run at once.
  • Look at the guaranteed minimum speed, not just the average.
  • Check whether the router covers your floor area or if you'll need a mesh.

FAQ

How much speed does Netflix 4K actually need?

Around 15 Mbps per stream. Three simultaneous 4K streams plus a video call comfortably fits inside a 100 Mbps package.

Should I bundle TV with broadband?

Only if you actually watch the included channels. A standalone streaming subscription is often better value.
