Find out why our customers love Zzoomm broadband.
500Mbps broadband. More speed. More enjoying it.
Room for everyone's plans.
A connected home is rarely doing just one thing. Someone’s streaming a series while someone else is uploading photos, and a tablet is quietly updating in the corner.
500Mbps broadband gives those overlapping activities more capacity to share. You can spend less time planning around your household’s internet habits and more time deciding the genuinely important things. Like what’s for dinner.
Uploads that pull their weight.
The internet isn’t just delivering things to your home. It’s carrying your video calls, shared files and favourite moments out into the world, too. Zzoomm gives uploads the same 500Mbps capacity as downloads, which is useful when several people are sending as well as receiving.
Your broadband gets both sides of the conversation. If only every family group chat did.
Switching, minus the hassle.

Is 500Mbps broadband right for your home?
500Mbps is a strong choice when several people regularly stream, work, play and share files at the same time. It combines substantial capacity with a plan designed for everyday household life, rather than making everyone arrange their internet use in shifts.
The number of devices alone doesn’t tell the whole story: what they’re doing matters more. A collection of phones checking messages is a different demand from several computers downloading large files.
And if one room struggles for signal, checking WiFi coverage is the right first step. Our team can help you work out what your home needs.
The whole household has entered the chat
Busy homes need broadband that understands the assignment. With 500Mbps fibre broadband, there’s generous bandwidth for shared evenings, overlapping workdays and everyone having their own idea of a good time.
Different screens. Domestic peace.
The football is on. So is a cooking programme. Upstairs, somebody’s halfway through a series they insist you’d love. A 500Mbps connection has substantial capacity for multiple streams alongside other household activity, so one person’s viewing needn’t set the evening’s agenda. Each screen needs a good WiFi or wired connection, of course. Matching tastes in television are entirely optional.
Two meetings. One connection.
When two people work from home, the broadband has more than one diary to consider. Zzoomm’s equal upload and download speeds give video meetings, document sharing and cloud services plenty of capacity to use together. Set up a strong connection at each workspace and get on with the day. You’ll still need to agree who gets the quiet room.
Big file updates, smaller sighs.
You’ve found an hour to play, and the console has found an update. Classic. The extra download capacity of 500Mbps can shorten large transfers compared with slower plans when the server and your equipment support it. There’s also more total bandwidth for the household to share, although a busy download may still need managing. Your free evening deserves a sporting chance.
Homework and home life together.
Research on the laptop, a tutorial on the tablet and music in the kitchen: learning rarely happens in total silence. 500Mbps gives a busy family room for schoolwork and everyday entertainment to overlap, while equal upload capacity helps with sending projects and joining online lessons. We can help with the connection.
Full fibre vs part-fibre. The bit at the end matters.
Broadband described as fibre doesn’t always bring fibre into your home. Part-fibre connections typically use fibre to a street cabinet, then copper for the final section. Zzoomm takes fibre all the way to your property, giving your 500Mbps service a direct fibre connection into the home.
For a household that asks plenty of its internet, that’s a useful foundation. Full fibre supports the capacity you need for overlapping activity, with equal upload and download speeds on this plan. More room for the household’s online life, without relying on a copper telephone cable for the last stretch.
Your router then shares the service around your home. Placing it in an open, central spot and using Ethernet for fixed devices where practical can help you make the most of it. A better-informed household. One less broadband mystery.

- Frequently asked questions
Questions about 500Mbps broadband.
What kind of household benefits from 500Mbps broadband?
500Mbps broadband suits homes where several people regularly use demanding services at once. It provides a middle option between everyday 200Mbps use and gigabit capacity, particularly when streaming, home working and large downloads overlap.
How many devices can use 500Mbps fibre broadband together?
There is no useful universal device limit based on speed alone. Ten devices checking messages can demand less bandwidth than a few downloading large files. Your router, WiFi conditions and each device’s activity determine how comfortably the connection is shared.
Can 500Mbps support different programmes on several screens?
500Mbps offers substantial bandwidth for a household watching different streams. The number and quality of streams, other internet activity and each screen’s WiFi connection all influence the result. Separate streaming subscriptions and compatible devices are still required.
Will 500Mbps help when two people are on video calls?
It gives a shared household plenty of capacity for video meetings alongside other tasks. Zzoomm’s advertised 500Mbps upload speed is relevant because calls send video as well as receive it. A strong connection to the router remains important for each caller.
Does a 500Mb internet connection stop one download using all the bandwidth?
A 500Mbps connection provides more capacity, but it does not automatically reserve a share for every activity. A download can still use substantial bandwidth. If it affects other people, scheduling it for a quieter time or limiting its transfer rate may help.
Is 500Mbps a worthwhile upgrade from 200Mbps?
The nominal bandwidth is two and a half times greater, which can help with overlapping heavy use and large transfers. It will not make every app two and a half times faster. The benefit is most noticeable when your household can use the extra capacity.
What is the difference between fibre 500 and gigabit broadband?
A fibre 500 plan advertises 500Mbps, while a gigabit plan advertises 1000Mbps. Gigabit adds capacity and can shorten large downloads under suitable conditions. For many shared homes, 500Mbps already offers a useful balance between speed and cost.
When should I choose 500Mbps instead of 200Mbps?
Consider 500Mbps if your household regularly combines large downloads, several streams and file uploads. If those activities rarely overlap, 200Mbps may provide the capacity you need. Choose around your busiest normal evening rather than the number of devices you own.
Will 500Mbps broadband improve WiFi in an upstairs bedroom?
Not necessarily. Package speed and WiFi coverage are different. Walls, distance and interference can weaken the signal even on a fast service. Before upgrading solely for one room, review router placement and whether your home needs a coverage solution.
Should I use Ethernet with a 500Mbps plan?
Ethernet is worth considering for a stationary computer, television or console where a cable is practical. It avoids some of the variability of WiFi. The cable, network adapter and router port must all support a suitable connection speed.
