I'm wondering how much difference there is in daily usage of practical speed terms between the two Infinity products, whether through BT or another provider. Is it worth, or necessary to spend the the extra few pounds? My intended use will be streaming iPlayer, etc. Although, at times, there will be more than one or two users online.
The cheaper product (Option 1) isn't just slower it has limited usage. Option 2 is the unlimited usage, is also upto 76megabit.
Look up your own line on the BT Guesstimator first:

If you go for another ISP such as Sky Fibre, the 40/10 service is £20 and the 80/20 is called Pro and £30.
There is also the openreach prioritisation difference but I don't think anyone notices this.
