Hi,
I’m moving house by the 7th. Need internet on the day I move (can wait for a day ) .
I will be working from home, need at least 100mbps (with no dips in bandwidth), low latency as I need video calling/voice (zoom + Microsoft teams + Skype), 4k video streaming on Netflix, occasional online gaming (so I can be a low ping b****), good customer support, reliable. I absolutely do not want any issues with NAT (sites constantly giving me captchas, online banking apps failing on me, heard horrible stories about this).
I don’t need TV channels + Phone (will mostly use Netflix or Amazon) .
Any deals available?
Are 18 mo contracts the minimum?
Cheers

sorted byI'm with Virgin 276meg, really don't need that much but if I dropped to say 100meg the price would double
Low latency you only really need for online video gaming like say CoD, video calls will be fine.

Somehow I was still able to work, including use of the company VPN. Most work was web based apart from some minor down or uploading. Even Teams video worked in both directions. Plus it's possible to move files around Onedrive without actually down or uploading them. I set the WiFi connection to 'metered' so the laptop didn't attempt to do any Windows update.
I was rather impressed with what's possible on 1 Mbps. Goes without saying, don't try this if you're video editing or publishing to Github.
as OP indicates good 3 signal at location, an immediate solution whilst arranging permanent arrangement would be:
• walk into a high street Superdrug and spend £20 on its unlimited data SIM
• shove Superdrug unlim SIM into handset
• activate hotspot on handset
Job done.
Optionally if using an Android handset:
walk into CEX and spend £8+ on an Asus x5x or above router having a USB port, then benefit from all standard router functionality such as
• deep penetration dual band wifi
• wired ethernet
• and even integral VPN client & torrent client options
via USB tethering the Android handset to the router whilst the router also charges/powers the handset.
Maybe £1 extra for a suitable standard USB cable if you don't have one kicking around.
