Reccomendation for wifi speed? (potential New Customer)

[-Sky-Broadband-]

Hi there,

After a long while of suffering with super slow broadband, our contract finally expired and im now coming to sky broadband.

I just want to ask what broadband speed should I get?

As a sky glass user with a few pucks laying around the gaff, i am already a sky customer.

The speeds I can get are listed below 

It may seem obvious to get the 1 GB one but im just gonna ask your guys opinions, i dont really know as to get the fastest option or not.

The list of devices in my home, for reference are:

• 1 Sky Glass 55 Inch TV
• 2 Sky Stream Puck Boxes for the kids rooms
• 2 Sony Bravia 4K Smart TVs (for the pucks)
• 1 MacBook Air 2022 (used as a personal laptop for my work)
• 2 Alienware Gaming PC (Used for the kids gaming)
• 1 HP Officejet printer for the home
• 4 Google Home Devices for smart home
• 1 Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra for me
• 1 iPhone 15 Pro for the wife
• 2 Samsung Galaxy A54 for the kids
• 1 Siemens Landline for the home
• A couple smart led lights for lighting
• Ring doorbell
• And a few more bits and bobs primarily used for smart home, etc.

As you can see, im more than fine to spend the extra 5 euro , but there wont be any point if we wont use nearly half of it.

Another question I have is, we never had fibre internet before. What does that mean for me and the availability of the fiber broadband? I might as well stick to superfast 80 if its through dsl. But then again i dont want the family to suffer with that slow of a speed, so we might go higher.

Thanks!

@-Sky-Broadband- 

Changing ISP won't have a great deal of impact on wireless speed if that is why the family left the previous ISP. Sky with their package does offer a wireless speed guarantee for an additional fee monthly called Sky Max which just means you get additional equipment when a wireless speed of 25Mbps can not be delivered to every room and it is a right hassle getting the additional wireless equipment when speeds don't reach that speed with contact with Sky difficult to obtain.

@-Sky-Broadband- with a not disimilar equipment list I went for Ultrafast+. While the 75Mb/s product which I had before full fibre was run was OK having bandwidth to spare appealed to me and if you regularly have multiple simultaenous users I think it is still a sensible choice.

Each Sky Stream puck or Glass TV will never pull more than 30Mb/s each even if watching the most demanding. UHD sports content. The rest of your list would rarely if ever pull more than 100Mb/s combined.

Gigabit is therefore highly unlikely, in my opinion, to actually make any difference in the real world beyond speed tests. To get wifi speeds over 500Mb/s throughout a home can be mighty expensive
