Ours was really slow during late evening - (I pleasantly found out from my 16 y/o this morning :grr:)

I just assumed it was our own wireless issue i've we've been having loads of wifi issues lately.

Our's is fine in the Kingston Hill area, very rarely see any issues.

Granted, they have an SLA to honour on the business line, so maybe that helps. Anyone who loves nippy download speeds and a nice SLA should take a look, they just made all their business packages 350mbps down and starting at a 48hr SLA. Take note the prices are excluding VAT though.

As always though crippled download speeds, only useful for data consumers not creators.

Upload you mean?

Yeah, 15mbit is great but not amazing. Nobody outside of the smaller gigabit ISPs really offers a proper upload speed though.

Basic 76mb fibre gives me 18mb upload, I pay under £25 a month. With virgin I'd need to pay over £50 to match that.

There is no way you pay under £25 a month when phone lines alone are something stupid like £17 now. Even if you use your landline it's still a prerequisite for the broadband.

The prices are way, way higher than that usually. BT 76 down is £45 a month and that's a new customer time sensitive offer.

Didn't even know SSE did broadband, looking at their site they don't offer 76mbps any more? And looks to be a bit more than that just for half that speed now. The £24.50 is a very nice deal for that speed, provided you can actually get an offer like that.

Of note though, once the offer is up the price becomes £46/m which is more than Virgin's 200mbit offering.

Well as I'm now going to be on the lookout again I can post what I find if you're interested? Just needs a bit of digging, but I'm off to Birmingham now.

I'm on a 24 month contract so no interest in moving, very curious to see what you can find though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
