Fibre to the home

Why Fibre Speed is Important

Speed is one of the most important factors to consider when comparing fibre providers, internet service providers and packages. Fibre speed could vary greatly depending on the area in which you are situated. Thanks to increased competition in the fibre industry, more and more areas are getting access to faster connections. This means that it is important to regularly compare packages to ensure that you are getting the best possible deal.

Fibre Data

A key consideration is the amount of data you pay for. With terms such as “uncapped”, “capped”, “throttled”, and “shaped”, navigating the murky waters of fibre data can be extremely tough. That is why it is important that you compare different providers’ prices and benefits side by side to ensure that you get a deal that best suits your needs, whether that be price, speed or amount of data.

A quick guide to getting fibre

Are there waiting periods applicable where Covid-19 is excluded?

No, generally not for life cover. For funeral cover, a standard waiting period applies for natural deaths.

Is COVID-19 covered in the event of death?

Most life insurers provide cover for the disease, as it causes illness and is considered a natural cause of death. It’s not included under Accidental Death cover, however.

Is COVID-19 testing required for life cover acceptance?

No, but if you have been tested for the virus or are planning to get tested, some insurers may defer cover until the results come out.
