Availability varies by network and address. Confirm before comparing prices.
Fibre to the home usually offers the best consistency, strong upload speeds, and room to scale. If it’s available at your address, it’s often the best long‑term choice.
Cable can be excellent value and very fast downloads, but upload may be lower than fibre. Performance can vary more at peak times depending on the local node.
DSL and fibre‑to‑the‑node (FTTN) use phone copper for the last stretch. Speeds depend heavily on distance and line quality, but it can be widely available.
