Full fibre packages including a Gigabit one for £70/month from Relish better known for its 4G LTE services may be hints of a wider push into the fixed line broadband arena.

The nights are drawing in and that means more time spent at home using your broadband and thus problems with broadband speeds will become even more frustrating. To help those looking to switch services we have our analysis of the latest broadband service speeds.

In a surprise move it seems BT Consumer is upgrading its up to 52 Mbps Infinity 1 customers onto an up to 76 Mbps speed profile which means those with short enough lines will go faster.

Spotting and reporting about speed problems with a service provider while the issue is on-going is always difficult but we are seeing enough users with slow download speeds on PlusNet to warrant mentioning it.

Vodafone is claiming the UK's lowest price Unlimited Fibre Broadband title with its new offer of its up to 38 Mbps service for £20/m for 18 months.

After a while where the Sky ADSL2+ service was its best offer, there is now a reduced monthly price and reduced setup offer running on the Sky Unlimited Fibre VDSL2/FTTC service.

Gigaclear has announced the extension of its work in Herefordshire and Gloucestershire to deliver full fibre with Complete Utilities in a new £90m contract to deliver full fibre ducting to some 70,000 premises in the next three years.

We have already published the overall results from our speed test for August 2017 and now its time to add a bit more detail for the largest providers looking at the difference between peak and off-peak speeds.

The latest offer from Sky reduces the price of its unlimited ADSL2+ from its standard £28.99/m to just £15/m for 12 months.

The change in minimum term from 12 months to 1 month by Openreach on the GEA-FTTC range does not kick in until October but SSE has jumped the gun.
