DH and I are currently house-hunting, we found a house we really like and have booked a second viewing. It occurred to me to check the broadband speeds as we both work from home and they are coming up much lower than we are used to. We have the top Virgin broadband at home but it seems Virgin don't serve the town we wish to move to.
I'm feeling really disheartened as the best BT speed that is coming up for the new house is 27Mb - 36Mb. Vodaphone is coming up 63mb. Firstly, how can these speeds differ, as surely they would be using the same cable?
Secondly, do you think we will have to pass up on this house because of this? It seems silly, but there are 2 of us working from home, we both use VPN, I am a graphic designer so I am uploading and downloading large files all day long. At home we generally have some kind of wifi TV running on the TV and sometimes running another personal laptop and an ipad, plus 2 phones!
I don't really understand it all so if anyone could help, please tia
