What is BT Broadband?

What is BT Broadband?

Customers can choose from a selection of different broadband options which start at 10Mbps basic ADSL and go all the way up to 900Mbps hyperfast fibre.

All of BT’s broadband deals come with unlimited monthly usage, a Stay Fast guarantee of £20, a range of security features and the powerful BT Smart Hub. 

BT Superfast Fibre broadband speeds 

BT broadband customers who want superfast fibre broadband can choose from Fibre Essential, Fibre 1 and Fibre 2.

With an average download speed of 36Mbps, Fibre Essential is ideal for those with average browsing habits who need a connection on which to stream, send emails, shop and scroll through social media. 

Those who live in busier households but can’t get full fibre will want to opt for either Fibre 1 or Fibre 2, which offer average download speeds of 50Mbps and 67Mbps respectively. These are capable of supporting a large number of devices as everybody is online streaming, gaming and downloading simultaneously. 

BT Full Fibre 

Full Fibre is the latest in high-speed broadband technology. While not every household in the UK can yet experience ultrafast or hyperfast speeds, those who can have the luxury of amazingly quick and reliable broadband.

With BT Full Fibre, even the busiest of households will be able to enjoy a fantastically smooth connection for seamless video-calling, 4K streaming, long online gaming sessions and huge downloads.

Full Fibre 100 provides 150Mbps, easily enough for a standard household with moderate to heavy usage. Full Fibre 500 is the next step up, providing 500Mbps, bringing even more constant stability to the connection and keeps closer to the speeds promised.

As for Full Fibre 900, it is the very newest addition to FTTP broadband. It sees BT branching out into Gigabit broadband, offering 900Mbps. While that doesn’t quite reach 1Gbps, it is on par with their competitors who have also broken into the hyperfast sector. And really, isn’t 900Mbps enough for one household anyway?

Advanced security features 

BT has more online security features than any other big provider so you and your family can enjoy browsing the web safely. 

BT includes Norton Security with every broadband package, and there’s a team of 3,000 specialists working 24 hours a day to protect the network from cyber attacks along with BT web protect and BT virus protect. This includes a pop up blocker, protection against spyware, a personal firewall, spam blocker and anti-virus software. 

Smart Hub

The BT Smart Hub comes with your BT Broadband subscription and it operates as your internet router in the home. It offers a strong and reliable wireless signal, so you can run a good wireless network in the house, and it is energy efficient thanks to the auto-low-power mode activated when there is no web activity.
