How to choose the right home internet plan for your household

Speed, number of devices and how you use the internet all matter. Here is a simple way to decide.

· SomLink Team

Choosing a home internet plan starts with how your household actually uses the connection. A home with two people browsing and messaging needs far less than a family streaming video on several screens at once.

Count your devices

Add up every phone, laptop, TV and tablet that connects at the same time in the evening, when usage is highest. The more devices online together, the more speed you need.

Match the speed to how you use it

  • Browsing, social media and messaging for one or two people: 50 Mbps is comfortable.
  • HD streaming on a few screens, video calls and online classes: around 100 Mbps.
  • Working from home, large downloads, many simultaneous streams: 300 Mbps.

Check coverage first

Before you subscribe, confirm that fibre is available at your address. Our team can check coverage and recommend the right plan.
