Get a superfast connection for just £30 per month.
Modern gaming definitely has its perks, but there are countless stories of sessions rudely stalled by yet another surprise bajillion gigabyte update to our favourite games. And while it looks like we won’t be free of these interruptions any time soon, they can at least be mitigated by a chunky fibre broadband package.
Fortunately, then, in the latest BT Broadband sale, you can save £240 off two of its fastest Full Fibre broadband packages.
The best value of the pair is the Full Fibre 100 package, which offers download speeds of 100Mbs for £29.99 per month. That’s a healthy saving of 25 per cent off the usual price of £39.99. The contract lasts for 24 months and you’ll have to pay £9.99 postage and package for your new hub, but there are no other hidden fees or activation charges.
The one caveat is that this is a region-specific offer so do check if your postcode is within the Full Fibre network area on the BT site. You might know this if you already have ‘fibre to the premises’ in your home. Some areas (read: London) will actually get speeds faster than the advertised 100Mb as well. Perhaps one day we’ll see better broadband parity across the UK. We can but dream.
Nevertheless, with many other broadband packages at a similar price offering download speeds around two-thirds as fast, it’s a terrific offer if you can get it. It’ll make the next Warzone update a lot less intimidating and allow to to stream from multiple devices with ease. Just make sure you’ve got enough PS4 or Xbox One hard drive space free for it too!
If you want to go one step further, BT’s Full Fibre 300 broadband package – which offers download speeds of up to 300Mbs – is also reduced by 20 per cent and down to £39.99.
Speaking of BT, remember when they partnered with Google Stadia a few months ago to further promote cloud gaming? How’s that been going? Well, for the good, our pals at Digital Foundry found the free Stadia service made some sense but still lacked finesse. The bad: a playable build of Ubisoft’s Gods & Monsters was accidentally leaked on the service. A few ups and downs, then.
