I will ring them Friday morning to discuss options, armed with the info I can get the Sky streaming box, with Premium Netflix, UHD add-on, ad-skipping, and 78Mb (ish) BB for £59.50.

If we have to change, we won’t get the BB speed we have now (250Mb), and SWMBO won’t be able to record her property make-over/cookery/medical etc. reality shows, but we can live with that (well, the COD updates will take five times a long, but hey-ho).

I’ll update after the call…
We moved over to Sky a few years ago and yes we noticed the lower download speed for the first week or so and then it stopped being an issue. I can still download stuff quicker than I can watch it and streaming UHD on 2 TV's while general browsing isn't an issue so we're happy.

To be fair though, work wise I'd like a higher upload but when we left VM the top package was only 200Mb so we didn't loose anything on the upload but when a fibre package comes along we'll jump ship because I work with massive spreadsheets, databases and audio files so upload is a bottleneck.
