Can somebody enlighten me as to why I would need super duper speeds when I’m managing alright at the moment.  :-\   I subscribe to and watch Netflix, Prime Movies and music etc so what am I missing by not having FTTP. Genuine question as nobody in our road opted to go for the super fast fibre, and several of them have home offices and work from home. What am I missing, or is it aimed at people who suffered with FTTC.  :-\
A valid point :y.

In my case, I use a lot of cloud based storage, so a better upload than what I currently get is beneficial. As for downloads, we do get a bit of video stutter when streaming 4k video, but I accept our primary line is busier than most.  But the real reason is my tight fisted company has decided to remove my work broadband, so we're dropping to one line, and with us both working from home, that causes a lot of contention, especially since we both have to tolerate that cancer of modern officework, MS Teams (which is a massive bandwidth hog, as well as CPU and memory hog).  So I'm looking for a significant improvement in upload speed more than anything, with a modest bump in download just to give us a little more headroom when streaming, and you buggers are hammering OOF ;D

Oh stop complaining. Imagine living in the beautiful Spanish countryside with sun and not much rain.

Internet? 4G  headline 10 gb down and only 0.7 up so Skype video is rubbish. However as each day goes on the down speed reduces to Zero by 11 pm
Why do you need Internet? Surely the whole point of moving to the middle of nowhere is to avoid being connected?
