What Can BT Offer You?

Types of BT Broadband Packages

BT have one of the widest ranges of broadband packages in the market with a large variety of speeds, including:

• ADSL Broadband - 10Mbps
• BT's Fibre Essential - 36Mbps
• Fibre 1 - 50Mbps
• Fibre 2 - 67Mbps
• Fibre 100 - 145Mbps
• Fibre 500 - 500Mbps
• Fibre 900 - 900Mbps

BT's Standard ADSL Broadband

The most affordable package that BT offers has average download speeds of 10Mbps, similar to those provided by most other UK broadband companies. This should be fast enough for individuals, couples or smaller households who use the internet to browse social media, shop, stream music and watch catch-up TV - but it may struggle to meet the expectations of larger households, with multiple devices, where everyone uses the internet at once or people stream HD content. This broadband package is only available if you do not have access to fibre broadband.

BT's Fibre Essential

With download speeds of up to 36Mbps, it's most suitable for small households that aren't too dependent on their broadband speed and mainly use their broadband for the occasional stream.

Fibre 1

Download speeds of up to 50Mbps are sufficient for households who have a couple of devices that are being used simultaneously, with frequent music streaming, watching video streaming services and gaming.

Fibre 2

This slight bump in speed from Fibre 1 to Fibre 2, up to 67Mbps, is great for growing families and households with four or five people who use their devices a lot.

BT's Fibre 2 broadband package allows each person in the house to use the internet freely without encountering any problems with their internet connection. This package means that one person will be able to work from home whilst others play online video games or watch their favourite shows on popular streaming sites such as Netflix and Prime Video.

Fibre 100

With Fibre 100, you'll get unbelievable speeds that are exceptional for working from home, gaming, streaming and smart home devices such as thermostats, smart speakers and security cameras.

Fibre 500

Fibre 500 is only currently available in certain areas, so ensure to check its availability to you by entering your postcode at the top of this page.

Speeds like this are great for internet connected smart homes and large households filled with devices that are all being used at the same time.

Fibre 900

The lightning fast 900Mbps BT broadband isn't the most widely available broadband package but for those who are able to get it, they'll be looking at some of the fastest internet access around. With a minimum guaranteed download speed of 455Mbps and an average upload speed of around 110Mbps, if you're using a Fibre 900 package you'll get download speeds that are around six times faster than on Fibre 100.
