Understanding Peak Usage and Off-Peak Usage

We have split each day into two distinct usage periods (Peak and Off-Peak). which allows us to control the Quality of Service (QoS) that you receive to be of only the highest standard; and offer a "fair for all" approach across the package range.

Peak Usage Period is 08:00am until 23:59pm daily
Off-Peak Usage Period is 00:00am (midnight) until 07:59am daily

During the Off-Peak period our network is generally empty, therefore we are able to provide every customer a free usage period without using up your main peak monthly usage. An example of using this bonus could be to schedule Windows Updates, Sky by Broadband downloads or similar which are generally quite large. Overall more value for your money.

What speed will my line support?

* This is totally dependant on how far you are from your local exchange and the conditions of your telephone line. However, upon receiving your order, we will automatically attempt to activate your BT telephone line at the fastest possible speed, up to 8Mbps.

In the event of this speed not been established, your line will be enabled at the highest speed available. Therefore you may get a line speed of 4.5Mbps or 6.5Mbps for example. In any event will we attempt to enable your line.

Broadband speeds on an individual line is governed by a wide range of physical factors. BT estimates that 78 per cent of BT phone lines should support broadband at line rates of 4Mbit/s and above, with 6Mbit/s and above available to more than 42 per cent. For those living or working close to their local telephone exchange, line rates of up to the maximum 8Mbit/s should be achievable.
