Fibre broadband can now cost the same or less than standard broadband.
So why aren’t people upgrading to a fibre service? And why are they paying the same for 10mbps as they would for 50mbps?
The upgrading process requires shopping around for the best deals. Prices vary but some deals are the same price as old fashioned ADSL broadband. Be aware too that by sticking with the same supplier you may pay more than by switching, have usage caps, and lower speeds.
What can you do with fibre broadband that you can’t do with a standard service?
- Everyone can be online at the same time, which is perfect for a busy household or for when the holidays are coming and friends and family are visiting
- Stream movies and download games without buffering
- Work from home
- Have easy and fast access to educational games and e-books. Homework will be easily uploaded online too.
What to do next?
- Check if you can upgrade by accessing the following website dorsetforyou.com/superfast
- Then shop around for the best deal that will suit you and your household / business. There are websites that do the leg work for you. They compare all the deals available for your postcode to save you time. One example is Money Saving Expert. Finally, contact the chosen supplier and tell them you want to upgrade to a fibre service.
Ultimately, if you get stuck or if you have any questions, contact superfast@dorsetcc.gov.uk
