500Mbps broadband is ultrafast. Download an HD movie in a single minute, or stream 4K content on up to 20 devices, all at the same time! 500Mbps broadband is so fast you can do pretty much whatever you want with it – the sky’s the limit.

You should consider your internet usage and needs and also bear in mind what a 500Mbps internet connection is designed for:

• Data-heavy activities – You can stream videos in HD. Download large files superfast. Game online.
• Multiple devices at the same time – A package like our M500 broadband may be what’s needed in busy households, to help make sure everyone can rely on the internet without experiencing low speeds.
  
  If you’re mostly using the internet for basics, like browsing, checking your emails, streaming videos in standard definition, perhaps try M125 or another of our cheap broadband deals. M500 is powerful!

• Faster uploads – Livestreaming and sharing your gameplay on platforms like Twitch is an easier, more enjoyable experience.
• Faster downloads – New games (often 80-100GB) take less time to download when you have a very fast internet connection, like M500 broadband (or Gig1, our ultimate broadband for hardcore gamers).
