I currently have both NOS and Vodafone 5G (although I know it is only 4G). They have recently laid fibre along my road but I have not yet been inundated with offers to fo to fibre. Any updates, any views on which is best?

Hi,

It is too early to offer advice (and more info needed on current usage).

You need to note which of the NOS and 5G/4G functions you use, for what - and at what cost.

Then compare those to the cost of doing the same ( or better ) on the offered fibre packages.

( TV will 'probably' be more reliable, Internet access from computers and phones will be faster. - phone calls will remain the same via handset  )

Once you have the costs of the fibre, you can ask yourself these questions :-

- Does the cost of the fibre package seem good value for the benefits you will get?

- Can you cancel your NOS and/or Vodafone contracts without fines??

I hope this helps

Ian

We kept our Vodafone contract for UK use, We have Meo for PT, we went fibre and the speed was amazing over 500megabytes / sec in and 120 Mg going out Worth the extra cost if you use a computer a lot.

Hi We are with MEO It was 49.9 euros a month but we pay another 7.9 euros extra which gives 300 minutes anytime to ring Europe / month.We also have a UK vodofone mobile which costs 20 euros/ month so friends can ring us Had the same no 30 plus years. The fibre is fantastic 500 plus receiving and 130 upload.
