The advertised 5G download speed of 150Mbps applies to at least 50% of 5G Broadband customers between the peak hours of 8pm and 10pm. We measure the speeds delivered by our 5G Radio Access Network to customers across our 5G Network and calculate the average (median) 5G data throughput rate at peak hours on a daily basis. In Feb-March 2023 the median figure was well above 150 Mbps each day and we continue to monitor this on an ongoing basis. Due to the nature of the wireless technology delivering your Broadband, the speed that any individual premises will experience is not guaranteed, may vary and can be impacted by local factors, such as the positioning of the hub, line of sight to your nearest mast, local topography (such as hills), number of users accessing the network in your area and thickness of walls and windows.
Yes, it should be fine to change your broadband supplier in the middle of a contract, but you’ll have to check the terms of your contract with your current supplier to see if there’s an exit termination fee in place.
Often this type of fee will only apply for a certain period of the contract, but some suppliers may extend it across the length of a contract. Most will also expect a notice period – often a month from your next payment date – but you may be able to end it a lot quicker than this and just pay for whatever portion of the month you’re cancelling from.
So again, it’s best to contact your current supplier and clarify your exact situation.
