Our Verdict
If Fibrus is available at your address, it's often the better choice for pure broadband performance and value. Their full fibre network is purpose-built and they offer competitive pricing.
Choose BT if you want extras like BT Sport, need TV bundles, or if Fibrus isn't yet available in your area.
