With average speeds of 80Mbps, it\u2019s a clear, albeit modest, route to step up from Standard Fibre, but without the higher price tag of BT\u2019s faster Full Fibre tiers. For smaller households, or if you simply don\u2019t need lightning-fast downloads, it\u2019s a sensible place to be. \n<\/p>\n


\nWhat helps sweeten the deal is the \u00a350 virtual reward card. Claim it once you’re up and running, and it knocks a chunk off your first year\u2019s effective cost. \n<\/p>\n


\nYou\u2019ll also get BT\u2019s Smart Hub 2 router as standard, support from BT\u2019s nationwide service team, and access to extras like BT Complete Wi-Fi add-on if you want to boost your Wi-Fi coverage.

Is 80Mbps fast enough for your home?<\/p>\n


\nBT\u2019s Full Fibre 2 gives you average download speeds of 80Mbsp. That\u2019s not in the same league as most other Full Fibre packages, but for most households it\u2019s absolutely ‘enough’. At this speed, you can comfortably run a couple of 4K streams, keep video calls smooth, play online games, and let others browse or scroll at the same time without slowdowns. \n<\/p>\n


\nFor everyday life, 80Mbps is going to be okay for smaller households. Streaming will be seamless, web pages will load instantly, and even big software updates don\u2019t take unreasonably long compared to older broadband technologies. The upload speed of around 20Mbps is also enough to handle Zoom calls, sharing photos, and general work-from-home tasks without too much frustration. \n<\/p>\n


\nBut if you\u2019ve got a busy household full of gamers, streamers, or multiple people downloading big files at once, you\u2019re going to need something quicker, and if you can get Full Fibre, thankfully that’s an easy choice to make. For smaller homes though, it can absolutely hit that sweet spot: Fast, stable, and reliable, without paying too much for speed you\u2019ll never use. \n<\/p>\n

What router do you get?<\/p>\n


\nWhen you sign up for BT Full Fibre 2, you\u2019ll receive the Smart Hub 2 router at no extra cost. This is the standard router BT provides with all its Full Fibre packages. If you already had Full Fibre or are upgrading, this is what you\u2019ll get; there\u2019s no optional ‘fancier’ router option. And that may actually be considered a bit of a downside by some, since Wi-Fi 6 is kind of the standard now, with more than one notable provider now offering Wi-Fi 7! \n<\/p>\n


\nWi-Fi 5, 6, 7 are different in how fast your Wi-Fi speeds can be around the house. They do require compatible devices though, so there’s an argument to be made that if you don’t have a lot of speed-hungry Wi-Fi 6 and 7-compatible devices around your house, you don’t need that anyway. \n<\/p>\n

Smart Hub 2 specs at a glance:<\/p>\n


\nThe Hub 2 will generally do well in most homes. If your home is large or has thick walls, the Wi-Fi Discs system from BT (Complete Wi-Fi) can help fill those dead zones. For everyday use \u2013 streaming, video calls, gaming \u2013 the Smart Hub 2 gives you what you need without needing to upgrade to something else. \n<\/p>\n

Getting BT Full Fibre 2 installed<\/p>\n


\nBT also uses the Openreach network, so what happens on installation day depends on whether your home already has a Full Fibre line. If you\u2019ve only ever had Standard Fibre before, an engineer visit is normally required. They\u2019ll run a fibre cable into your property and connect it to the new socket inside \u2013 which can sometimes involve drilling a small hole through an external wall. If your home is already fitted for Full Fibre, things are simpler: BT can often just send you the Smart Hub 2 in the post for self-setup. \n<\/p>\n


\nSwitching is now simpler too. Under Ofcom\u2019s One Touch Switching rules, you only need to place your order with BT, and it will handle the cancellation with your old provider. For most people the process is smooth and quick, but if you\u2019re renting it\u2019s best to check with your landlord in case any cabling work is needed. In most cases though, installation takes a couple of hours at most, and you\u2019ll be online the same day. \n<\/p>\n

No setup fees<\/p>\n


\nBT doesn\u2019t add any one-off costs when you take this package. The installation and the Smart Hub 2 router are both included as part of the deal, so you won\u2019t find an activation or delivery charge sneaking onto your first bill. \n<\/p>\n


\nIt\u2019s a small but welcome saving, especially as some other providers still add setup fees of up to \u00a335. With BT, the price you see is the price you pay \u2013 just the monthly cost of the package, and nothing extra on top. \n<\/p>\n

Why BT is one of the best providers<\/p>\n


\nBT is still perhaps ‘the’ biggest name in broadband, and with that comes a level of coverage and support you won\u2019t always find elsewhere. As the largest provider on the Openreach network, BT can offer Full Fibre to millions of homes, and its packages are backed by extras like the Stay Fast Guarantee and access to a nationwide network of Wi-Fi hotspots. \n<\/p>\n


\nCustomer service is another strong point. Ofcom\u2019s recent reports show BT scoring well above the industry average for handling issues and keeping customers satisfied. And because it invests heavily in both its network and its kit, the Smart Hub 2 router and optional Complete Wi-Fi system are more than a match for most households, though as previously mentioned, no Wi-Fi 6 or 7 can be considered a bit of a disadvantage. \n<\/p>\n


\nBT Full Fibre 2 is the slowest Full Fibre package BT offers, with average speeds of 80Mbps. That means it\u2019s really only suited to smaller or lower-usage households \u2013 for example, one or two people who mostly stream, browse, and do the occasional video call. You\u2019ll still get the benefit of Full Fibre reliability, but if your home has several people online at once, or anyone downloading large files regularly, you\u2019ll want to look at BT\u2019s faster packages instead.
