Hi all, I’m wanting to buy a house in Gilesgate DH1 near the big Tesco/Home Bargains but there’s no full fibre available; Ofcom estimates the top speeds for the address are 45-50mbps with FTTC.

I work from home full time in Teams video calls most of the day, and I like to game and stream movies/TV shows. I currently have 350mbps broadband with Virgin which isn’t available at the property I’m wanting to put an offer in at.

Does anyone have a solution for better, faster broadband? It needs to be reliable for working from home. I was wondering how people living there right now manage lol.

Or does anyone know if there are any plans to upgrade the broadband in Gilesgate? The Openreach website says no but…
