Elsewhere in UK...

Found some data about internet speed in the UK, wasn’t easy to come across, that puts 45% of UK housesolds have < 8 Mbps connection.

Right now I am on a 50 mbps unlimited pan for Rs. 500 per month.

Just came to know that my ISP is offering 75 mbps for Rs. 550, and 100 mbps for Rs. 650 per month.

Would the connection be stable if I opt for the 100 mbps plan, considering it's being offered on RJ-45?

Noob question, I know.

@Samuel The stability won't increase by taking a higher tier plan.
It depends on the type of connection whether copper or fiber.

It's copper.

The guy who comes for internet complains warned me against a 100 mbps plan on this line. Hence I asked this question. Guess I can simply switch and see for myself.

Video calls quality in signal is so much better than whatsapp.

I think video calls are the worst in WhatsApp compared to any other app.

Seriously....??
I have had good experience with them when I was in Delhi.
Is it a regular phenomenon or just a one off case.
