Upgrading my broadand

lindz88 — Sun, 04 Feb 2024 12:07:55 GMT

Ive got ultrafast broadband plus at the momnet and looking at upgrading but can anyone tell me which is a better option.

Do i go for the gigafast or the sky wifimax?

Tried to look online to find out which is better but cant seem to find anything on the Sky wifimax.

Sky max is a hub that can be used on fttc and fttp connections and costs £7.50 pm on an 18 month contract. If is wifi 6 router and should give you better wifi within the house .

Gigafast is on the otherhand a 1Gbps connection to the hub using the sr203 hub

The question is do you need the faster speed or just better wifi

WiFi Max is available as an option on any Sky Broadband speed using FTTC or FTTP.

It's worth considering if you really need the features (particularly Parental Controls) for the additional cost. The 'better' WiFi may be advantageous for 500Mbs and Gigabit FTTP, but other mesh systems are available.
