Martin Lewis’ MSE delivers verdict on if Premium Bonds ‘worth it’ after cuts<\/a><\/b><\/p>\nThe Labour government has set a goal to bring 85% of the nation into the fastest internet speed by this year.<\/p>\n
Matt Sanders from Go.Compare said: “Note down the key details of your current broadband deal, such as the connection type, speeds you\u2019ve been promised and what you\u2019re paying.”<\/p>\n
To check your eligibility for full fibre broadband, comparison sites such as MoneySuperMarket detail the best deals currently on offer.<\/p>\n
All you need to do is punch in your postcode and it will show which internet providers have coverage in your area.<\/p>\n
If your current provider is listed, but you don’t have full fibre, then you may be due an upgrade.<\/p>\n
Go.Compare and Which? offer broadband speed check tools to compare how fast your internet is and what is currently available on the market.<\/p>\n
It comes as Broadband Genie has named the internet providers that are best for online gaming, working from home, and streaming in its annual awards.<\/p>\n
The annual survey named Plusnet as the \u201cBest Broadband Provider\u201d of the year based off a OnePoll survey of 3,997 broadband bill payers, as well as an analysis of 291,467 broadband speed tests that were run over a 12-month period.<\/p>\n
Broadband Genie expert Alex Tofts said: \u201cCustomer service is an area which can make or break a positive experience with your internet provider.<\/p>\n
“Get it right, and customers feel valued and looked after. Get it wrong, and customers will be left frustrated, unheard and will want to look elsewhere.<\/p>\n
“We can only hope these big players will be pulling their socks up to improve their services. It\u2019s no surprise that in a year when customers are once again having to swallow hefty mid-contract price rises that they feel they\u2019re not getting value for money.<\/p>\n
“This is more evidence and only affirms our stance that Ofcom needs to ban mid-contract price rises.\u201d<\/p>\n
Plusnet won ‘Best Provider’ as 79% of users rated them the best.<\/p>\n
The ‘Fastest Widely Available Provider’ was Virgin Media 188Mbps (average download), while Vodafone secured ‘Best Value for Money’.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Millions of UK households have been urged to check if they can get full fibre without paying a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":224066,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3161],"tags":[88446,88442,88443,88445,3082,18407,88444,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-224065","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-internet","8":"tag-broadband-deals","9":"tag-broadband-speed-check","10":"tag-broadband-speed-tests","11":"tag-full-fibre","12":"tag-internet","13":"tag-internet-providers","14":"tag-internet-speeds","15":"tag-technology","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114766853371225374","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224065","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224065"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224065\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224066"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224065"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224065"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224065"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
