Residential
At Whizzy Internet, we offer a range of residential broadband packages to suit every need. Whether you’re streaming movies, working from home, or simply browsing the web, our reliable and high-speed internet services ensure you stay connected. We provide both Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Optical Fiber networks, giving you the flexibility to choose the best option for your home.
How to Choose the Right Service
Fibre Broadband and Fixed Wireless Broadband are two completely different technologies, each of them having its benefits and downsides. We have compiled the key differences below:
Fibre Broadband
Advantages
- Faster than any other broadband type
- Lower latency – important for gaming
Disadvantages
- Installed and maintained by Fibre network operator, SIRO, NBI, etc so fibre network repairs are not in Whizzy Internet’s control.
- Can be affected by strong winds, falling branches can break the fibre cable
- Slow repair times, up to four weeks if fibre cable is broken
Fixed Wireless Broadband
Advantages
- Installed and maintained by Whizzy Internet engineers
- Quick and easy to install
- Rapid repair times
Disadvantages
- Performance can degrade in extreme weather like heavy rain or snow.
- Needs line of sight to the transmitter, growing trees near premises may obstruct the signal path over time and therefore degrade broadband performance
Selecting the right broadband package depends on your internet usage, the number of users in your household and your location. Here are some tips to help you make the best choice:
