Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

My broadband (Talktalk) is really slow. My needs are few - no films, music etc. just basics. Any ideas as to a faster one?

Bridget, is your computer connected to your broadband router by Wifi or by cable (Ethernet)?

Wifi

OK, try a cable (Ethernet) connection.

Other things equal, a direct cable connection to the router will give you the fastest possible speed (it is also more secure than the radiated Wifi signal). On your computer, you can switch back and forth between WiFi and Ethernet so you could at least see if using an ethernet cable improves the speed.

Very helpful. Is the Community Fibre any good?

Last year I switched away from Virgin Media and would probably have switched to Community Fibre, were it available to me.

Community Fibre was highly rated by Which? ~

Results based on an online survey of 4,347 members of the public in January 2024. Sample size for Community Fibre: 59. Customer score combines overall satisfaction and likelihood to recommend. (-) means we didn't receive enough responses in order to give a rating.

Pros: Fast speeds, very cheap deals available, 12-month contracts on offer

Cons: Only available in parts of London and a handful of small towns in the South East

Community Fibre received solid ratings in our latest customer satisfaction survey. Community Fibre's average speeds run as high as 3,000Mbps and are affordably priced – this, alongside its happy customers, makes it one of our Great Value broadband providers.

Hyperoptic knocked on my door yesterday.  After repeatedly saying that wasn’t interested they offered the first year free.  I haven’t taken them up on the offer as I’m very happy with BT but they might be worth having a look at.

Thanks, I'll make enquiries

Out of interest , which is the company that runs the sketchy cables from telegraph poles to people's houses?

We've got one going through a tree on Effingham and I noticed another ripped off the other week lying in the road.
