Hi all
I know similar questions have been asked but systems seem to change over the years etc so i wanted to get a fresh set of advice. I'm moving house soon. When i put in the post code and house number when first starting the process, the BT site said it had ultrafast 100 available. Perfect.
Now a few months later and nearing moving time, i'm told the cabinet is a max capacity so i'll only be able to get 1-2mb/s standard broadband. I work in IT, i work at home regularly, i game, we stream movies etc, so basic broadband will really restrict us.
I asked the openreach chat and they gave me a "rough" date of July for the cabinet apparently getting upgraded. Obviously it's strange times due to covid 19 so that may slip but:
Generally are these dates kept to?
When i move, should i setup basic broadband so i can upgrade later?
Are there waiting lists?
Do 4G home routers by the likes of THREE and EE work well?
It's making me anxious knowing i might struggle to do my work remotely and battle to get a proper connection. Somewhat ruining the excitement of a new home. Any help would be much appreciated.
