    Got a letter from Digiweb offering me to upgrade to Electric Broadband and powered by SIRO. I am currently using Fibre Broadband. Have no idea about electric broadband, is it a good service and does it make sense to upgrade?

    Siro is 100% fibre to the home (the gold standard) if the price is similar i'd jump at it

    when you say fiber broadband do you mean efiber shich is not proper fiber boarband.

    Siro only offer proper fiber to the home, also you don't have to just buy Siro from digiweb you can also go with Vodafone or airwire who I think have an very good offer on at the moment for gigabyte very cheap.

    No complaints about Digiweb and Siro, speeds are great even over wireless thanks to them using a decent router

    The speed can vary depending on you PC anything below a Intel i7 will not be able to handle full gigabyte.

    On an older Intel i5 pc expect around 700Mbps to 750Mbps

    So basically, it does make sense to accept the Digiweb electric's broadband powered by SIRO, since the offer is free? Here is what they sent to me.

    Just be aware that they will have to drill a hole in your wall to get a cable in. If that doesn't bother you I'd definitely go for it!

    It says "free of connection charge" but it doesn't mention whether or not your monthly bill will change, I'd make sure to clarify that

    "Connection fee's?"

    Also, again with the "unlimited". Grrrr.
