Can you have a landline with full fibre
Will I have a landline with my Full Fibre service? As there is no landline facility attached with Full Fibre (Fibre to the Premise) this is a broadband only service.
This means that there will be no dial tone, so if you need to contact the emergency services, you’ll need to use a mobile phone.
Why is Virgin media faster than BT
Unlike most other providers, Virgin Media doesn’t use Openreach and owns and operates its own cable broadband network.
And while it’s not as wide-ranging as Openreach, it uses newer technology to deliver faster speeds to Virgin Media customers.
Does Virgin use BT lines
Virgin use their own infrastructure. BT uses Openreach’s so if Openreach have either full fibre or Fibre to the Cabinet in your area it will be a different cable used to what Virgin Media gave you.
Are BT doing away with landlines
Landlines will still exist, and you can still have a phone line in your home – but the system that underpins it will be different.
The changeover needs to happen by December 2025, as this is when the old technology will stop working.
Is 30 Mbps fast
When it comes to internet connection speeds, a point of deep concern tends to be the ability to stream videos.
Typical streaming services such as Amazon and Netflix require between 15-25 Mbps to stream content, so 30 Mbps should be fast enough to stream videos from standard to 4k HD definition.
Who is best Sky or Virgin
Winner: Virgin Media broadband is faster and usually cheaper than Sky broadband. Sky are a big name in superfast broadband, but they only launched their full fibre broadband plans in October 2020 and the top speeds available are 500Mb in limited locations.
Is 20 Mbps good Internet speed
6-10 mbps: Usually an excellent Web surfing experience. Generally quick enough to stream a 1080p (high-def) video.
10-20 mbps: More appropriate for a “super user” who wants a reliable experience to stream content and/or make fast downloads.
Is 45 Mbps fast
A good internet speed is anywhere between 25 and 100 Mbps. Speeds of 25 Mbps allow up to 2 devices to stream, surf the web and check emails.
50 to 100 Mbps allow a few more people to stream in HD or even 4K, stream music, game, browse social media, and work from home.
What is the difference between BT fibre 1 and fibre 2
With a Fibre 1 package, speeds increase to an average of 50Mbps, and with a Fibre 2 package, speeds can average 67Mbps.
Users with Fibre Essential and Fibre 1 get upload speeds up to 9.5Mpbs, and Fibre 2 users benefit from upload speeds of around 19.5Mpbs.
What is the 2025 switch off
The BT 2025 switch off was announced last year. The national provider of telecommunications stated that they would no longer be providing the service to businesses in the UK.
BT plans to switch off all functionality for analogue phone lines, which means they will cease to operate.
