Just as many homes used to have to wait to make a call because someone else was using the internet, now we see households taking it in turns to do everything they want to do online.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve recently seen a surge in new customers choosing fibre, because it\u2019s important for households to be able to stream, download and upload all at the same time. While it won\u2019t solve all our household bugbears, we know how important a speedy internet connection is to daily life.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Naturally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> claims all of this indicates that &#8220;<em>most busy households have outgrown a standard broadband connection<\/em>&#8221; and as a result they&#8217;re keen to sell you on upgrading to their &#8216;up to&#8217; 38-76Mbps capable &#8220;<em>fibre<\/em>&#8221; (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a>) packages instead, which might indeed improve your online experience.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand it&#8217;s worth remembering that many of the problems described above may not always be caused by your ISP or broadband connection (e.g. it could be a computer \/ device fault, issues such as slow home <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> or problems caused by remote websites and servers) and they won&#8217;t always be improved by simply connecting to the Internet at a faster speed.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly TalkTalk is certainly not immune to complaints about slow broadband speeds and so-called &#8220;<em>Load Rage<\/em>&#8220;, which even happens on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> &#8220;<em>fibre<\/em>&#8221; packages that don&#8217;t always deliver the promised &#8220;<em>superfast<\/em>&#8221; speeds.
