Brsk broadband speeds

Brsk operate their own full fibre network which can now deliver multi-gigabit broadband speeds of up to 2Gb per second.

Customers can choose from one of the following broadband speed tiers:

Average download speed Average upload speed
BetterNet150 150Mb 150Mb
BetterNet500 500Mb 500Mb
BetterNet1000 900Mb 900Mb
BetterNet2000 2000Mb 2000Mb

The Brsk network benefits from symmetrical speeds, which means the upload speed is as fast as the download speed, and isn't always as common with other networks, including BT and Virgin Media, who offer slower upload speeds.

Advertised average speeds, as in the table above, must be received by at least 50% of Brsk's customer base during the peak hours of 8pm to 10pm in the evening when the network is busiest, so they're a good indication of what we can expect to receive.
