BT infinity options

I have FTTP option 2 at 220Mbps I download from usenet at 27.2 megs per second. As for day-to-day surfing there isn't a massive benefit except for great number of users all happy. .torrent I have had running at 20megs. I would say the extra expense is worth it for me. Really depends on how much you download and from where.
What I would suggest is move away from the HH5, I have the asus ac68 and it works a treat hardly ever needs resetting vs. the HH5 which needed to be reset weekly to regain the wifi speed (even after changing all the channel information).
Funny you say that, I am having to reset the HH5 ALL THE TIME.
Will I see those speeds via WIFI though?
And yeah, consistently downloading torrents or streaming online.
Wifi N 5ghz expect 15 - 20megs. Depending on range from the router. I have the HH5 I sync at 78000 out of the possible 79999. I just got a tplink ac wifi dongle, connects to the hh5 at 520 - 720mbps at range of 6 - 8m through 2 new build walls.
Can't say i've had to reset my HH5 weekly to regain my wifi speed though.
Wish I knew if/when I could get Infinity 3. My house is now turning 3 years old in June, the estate is 3 - 5 years, I would have hoped BT had laid everything needed in advance!

Using speedtest.net I have seen speeds over Wi-Fi around 200 (downstairs) down to 180/190 upstairs in the bedroom. (we have a new build house so now brick internal walls). You will need to make sure you have a AC based wifi card (mine is the 7260 in a Yoga 2 Pro).
Range is about 2-3 meters. Hub is situated in a cupboard (partition walls).
I was tempted to go for infinity 4 but didn't want to pay that much.
Got the killer 1202 N 5GHZ.
Worth changing this out then? don't suppose its a difficult job.
I had just the single band not AC I unscrewed the lid of the laptop and remove the two aerials and swapped them over, I had no issues with drivers everything was picked up. Provides a much better speed and signal strength. The card was only about £20 I would say worth it totally.
Same. I only have the weekend phone calls. But I do have the BT TV, Infinity 2 etc. Total bill £32 (line rental prepaid). I would like slightly faster net too. I moved from virgin 150mbit (old house) to here. Was on 2mbit adsl for first 2 months then infinity 80mb as soon as it was available.
Thanks. Sorry for the thread hijack!
Back to first post, yes, get it. 20MBps+ download would be nice. Would be great in my house flooding the internet.

If you can get Option 3 then its worth the extra, I did investigate Option 4 but couldn't warrant the extra cost. I was coming from a 2.5mg ADSL service so didn't want to be to greedy. Which ever one you have one you get used to it, more speed is always desired.
