Looking for a new switch

I'm currently with VM had enough paying for the slow upload so moving over to no one end of October but I have just put my old

TP-Link SG1005D

It's not working and I need a new 5 port 2.5gb unmanaged switch there's just way too many to choose from got a budget of £120 looking at some of them so any help would be appreciated.

Nope no rush had a look just too many to pick from.

Might try one from zyxel for a change.

If I wanted to upgrade from 900/900 then I might as well just buy a 2.5gb port.

Though I may not need it because I only need 1 x 2.5gb port for 1 device the rest can can go through the 1gb switch.

You know I haven't even asked no one what router they actually provide, going to phone them now.

@ Armageus

The 2.5gb port is for my main PC where I upload huge video files to a dedicated server hence me wanting to change from VMs poor upload speed to cityfibre.

Like I said I probably won't need a 2.5gb switch when I can just plug my PC into the 2.5gb port on the router or buy a better router and use the switch for the other 3 devices connected downstairs.
