Not sure which fibre plan is right for you?
Finding the best fibre plan for you depends on how many people are in your household and how you use the internet day to day. Not all fibre plans deliver the same experience.
Choosing the best fibre plan for you means finding a plan that matches how your household uses the internet. This is especially important if you have multiple people or devices online at once.

What matters when choosing a plan
Speed
Speed affects how quickly you can download and upload information.
- Lower speeds are fine for light browsing and streaming
- Higher speeds are better for busy households with lots of devices
- Faster upload speeds help with video calls, gaming and sharing files
Understanding how you use the internet will help you choose the right plan for your home.
Number of users and devices
The more people and devices using the internet at the same time, the more speed you’ll need.
For example:
- A couple watching Netflix = lower demand
- A family streaming, gaming and working from home = higher demand
Data
Most fibre plans come with unlimited data, but it’s still worth checking what’s included.
What you use the internet for
Different activities use different amounts of data and speed.
- Streaming, browsing and social media → lower demand
- Video calls, gaming and working from home → moderate demand
- Uploading large files, content creation → higher demand
Router and setup
Your router plays a big role in your experience.
- Most providers will supply a router, or you can use your own
- Make sure your router supports the speeds of your chosen plan
- Older or lower-spec routers may limit your performance
