Is fibre broadband a waste of £ for our situation?
My ADSL (copper wire) download speed is 13.2 Mbps (see BT Wholesale Test Result picture), which I feel is enough bandwidth for our situation. We use Netflix which only needs 5 Mbps leaving 8.2 Mbps for one other user (there are only the two of us). We only do web browsing, emails and maybe the odd online video clip.
Actual download speed is also dependant on remote server throttling the speed at which they stream data packets so high bandwidth does not guarantee high download speed.
Question - Am I right that, in this scenario, paying extra money (about £4/month extra) for extra bandwidth (up to 35 Gbps) by changing over to VDSL (Fibre-to-the-cabinet in our case) would be a waste of money?
Thanks
