Wifi and internet provider
Without a shadow of doubt, WIFI is the most popular question neighbours ask the Napoleon Road WhatsApp group.
Whilst there are many providers, and all services can vary, the majority of Napoleon Road residents have found BT Fibre to offer the fastest and most reliable service.
BT Fibre has two options:
-
Full Fibre - the fastest and ensures the fibre is literally plumbed into your house!
-
Fibre - rather than the Fibre going directly into the house, it is taken from the local hub - it is still significantly faster than traditional broadband.
There were also questions about boosters because we have old houses made, for the most part, really well (extensions will vary!!) ie. thick brick work.
Again, two options for booster:
-
Wireless boosters (these come in many formats) which bounce the signal around your house from where it initially enters the house - usually in the front lounge room.
-
Wired boosters - this is a more expensive option where a wire from the box where the internet enters the house is thrown over your roof and plumbed into your house in different spots like the kitchen / upstairs bedrooms. The benefit of this is there is less drop-off in signal because the boosters don't rely on wireless capacity to extend signal, they carry the speed in the wires.
