M250 FAQs
Our M250 Fibre Broadband is more powerful than standard 200Mb broadband (its average download speed is faster by 64Mbps). You can easily connect 10+ devices at the same time. It allows you to game online, stream in 4K, and video chat, all at once. And so, for average-sized households needing to be online at the same time, an average download speed of 264Mbps can be ideal to have.
Standard 200Mbps broadband will have an average download speed of 200 megabits per second (200Mbps). Meanwhile, our M250 Fibre Broadband provides an average download speed of 264 megabits per second (264Mbps), which is fast enough to have a HD film downloaded in about 3 minutes or an entire album of music downloaded in 3 seconds.
M250 Fibre Broadband is considered a good internet speed for gaming. Big downloads take less time – compared to standard 200Mbps broadband and M125 packages, it’s quicker to download new games, updates and patches on M250. And while most online games will only need a download speed of 3Mbps, the other people in your household need some consideration as well. A speed like M250 means the connection can stay fast for others, even while the gamer is playing online.
That’s really up to you. If you live in a busy household, full of avid internet users, then broadband with an average download speed of 200Mbps could be a good option. Especially if you’re big on streaming.
Our M250 Fibre Broadband is faster than standard 200Mb broadband. Having multiple TVs (streaming in HD), as well as smart devices and mobiles connected to the WiFi can use up a lot of bandwidth. So it’s always a good idea to have extra speed.
Netflix and other streaming providers recommend a minimum speed of 3Mbps for streaming in standard definition, but these speeds may struggle during busy times. Extra speed can help to prevent buffering and keep you online enjoying the shows you love.

Sure! But here’s why it’s even better to have our M250 Fibre Broadband with 264Mbps average download speed:
- Extra speed can help prevent buffering and keep you online, enjoying the shows and movies you love.
- M250 can easily stream Netflix in HD or 4K, no problem, even while other people are online at the same time.
