Should a fault be detected with your fibre broadband service, the Hybrid Connect backup will kick in automatically to keep you connected to the internet.<\/p>\n<p>A major benefit of the Hybrid Connect service is it works seamlessly and transparently with your Smart Hub 2 router. The 4G-based backup kicks in automatically in less than 90 seconds and all of the devices on your network will stay connected without you needing to lift a finger (there&#8217;s no faff needing to sign in all of your devices again to a different Wi-Fi network). Furthermore, you&#8217;ll still be able to use features like <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/bt-complete-wifi-review\">BT Complete Wi-Fi<\/a> which gives you a guaranteed Wi-Fi connection in every room of your home.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re moving home or changing broadband provider, Hybrid Connect also helps you to get connected to the internet more quickly.

That&#8217;s because it can keep all of your devices connected to the internet, even if there&#8217;s a fault with your fibre broadband connection (e.g. due to a damaged phone line, a fault at the cabinet, poor weather, etc).<\/p>\n<p>Compared to using a separate 4G mobile broadband connection for backup, you&#8217;ll get a far more seamless experience when using Hybrid Connect. That&#8217;s because all of your devices remain connected to your normal Wi-Fi network &#8211; there&#8217;s no hassle switching between different networks. That means all of your laptops, tablets, mobile phones, smart TVs and smart home devices including cameras, doorbells and thermostats will just continue to work without you needing to lift a finger. It&#8217;s also cheaper than using a separate mobile broadband connection for backup as the \u00a37\/month fee already includes all of the data you&#8217;ll use through the service.<\/p>\n<p>You can tell the Hybrid Connect service is in use when the light on your BT Smart Hub 2 turns purple. In addition, the signal bars on your Hybrid Connect device will turn white.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Get_Online_The_Next_Day\">Get Online The Next Day<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-22746\" src=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Home-Kitchen-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Home-Kitchen-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Home-Kitchen-768x508.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Home-Kitchen-40x26.jpg 40w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Home-Kitchen-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/Home-Kitchen.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>Another benefit of Hybrid Connect is the ability to get connected to the internet in as little as one day. Normally, when you&#8217;re moving home or changing broadband providers, it can take around two weeks to get your new fibre broadband service set up (sometimes a little bit longer e.g. if an engineer visit is required).<\/p>\n<p>If you place your BT Broadband and Hybrid Connect order before 3pm, BT will dispatch your new Hybrid Connect device the same day. This includes 24-hour delivery and you can get connected to the internet as soon as your new Hybrid Connect arrives.<\/p>\n<p>When your fibre broadband service is up and running, the Hybrid Connect device will work together with your Smart Hub 2 router. You&#8217;ll switch to using fibre for your main broadband connection but the backup of a 4G broadband connection will still be there for when it&#8217;s required.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"BT_Complete_Wi-Fi\">BT Complete Wi-Fi<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-26089\" src=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BT-Complete-Wi-Fi-Disc-and-Smart-Hub-250x166.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"250\" height=\"166\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BT-Complete-Wi-Fi-Disc-and-Smart-Hub-250x166.jpg 250w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BT-Complete-Wi-Fi-Disc-and-Smart-Hub-40x27.jpg 40w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BT-Complete-Wi-Fi-Disc-and-Smart-Hub-100x66.jpg 100w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BT-Complete-Wi-Fi-Disc-and-Smart-Hub-500x331.jpg 500w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/BT-Complete-Wi-Fi-Disc-and-Smart-Hub.jpg 646w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/>The Hybrid Connect service is compatible with <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/index.php\/bt-complete-wifi-review\">BT&#8217;s Complete Wi-Fi service<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Complete Wi-Fi gives you a guaranteed Wi-Fi signal in every room of your home, making use of the latest mesh networking technology.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll get a Smart Hub 2 router, together with up to 3 Wi-Fi Discs that extend the range of the Wi-Fi network through your home.

This is used to keep you online if there&#8217;s a fault with your regular broadband connection.<\/p>\n<p>According to BT, the Hybrid Connect service is currently available to around 85% of their customers. You&#8217;ll need to be in an area &#8220;with eligible 4G signal strength&#8221; and this will be checked automatically before Hybrid Connect is offered to you as an add-on.<\/p>\n<p>When you&#8217;re using the 4G backup connection on your Hybrid Connect, you&#8217;ll be able to get download speeds of up to 30Mbps and upload speeds of up to 5Mbps. That&#8217;s fast enough for most things you&#8217;d want to do with your home broadband (browsing, streaming, video calls, etc) but it&#8217;s likely to be a little bit slower than your regular service.<\/p>\n<p>To optimise the performance of your Hybrid Connect device, you can move it to a location with a stronger 4G signal. <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bt.com%2Fhelp%2Fbt-halo%2Fgetting-set-up%2Ftips-for-using-hybrid-connect\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"BT Broadband\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.bt.com\/help\/bt-halo\/getting-set-up\/tips-for-using-hybrid-connect\">BT recommends<\/a> that you find a location that&#8217;s well ventilated, raised from the floor and away from other electronics. You&#8217;ll often get a stronger 4G signal when you place the Hybrid Connect close to a window.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"BT_Broadband_Plans\">BT Broadband Plans<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-26319\" src=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BT-Broadband-Hub-Purple-250x149.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"119\" srcset=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BT-Broadband-Hub-Purple-250x149.jpg 250w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BT-Broadband-Hub-Purple-768x458.jpg 768w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BT-Broadband-Hub-Purple-40x24.jpg 40w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BT-Broadband-Hub-Purple-100x60.jpg 100w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BT-Broadband-Hub-Purple-500x298.jpg 500w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BT-Broadband-Hub-Purple-750x447.jpg 750w, https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/BT-Broadband-Hub-Purple.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/>At present, BT offers <a href=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/redir\/?go=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.bt.com%2Fproducts%2Fbroadband%2Faffiliate-offers%2F\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-aff=\"BT Broadband\" data-ourl=\"https:\/\/www.bt.com\/products\/broadband\/affiliate-offers\/\">a range of fibre broadband plans<\/a> from \u00a324.99 per month.<\/p>\n<p>The following table shows BT&#8217;s latest fibre broadband offers:<\/p>\n<table class=\"container table-sm tariff-widget-ng tariff-widget-ng-simo border mx-0 mb-3\">\r\n\t<thead>\r\n\t\t<tr class=\"row m-0 p-2 font-weight-bold text-center bg-light\">\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\" class=\"d-none d-md-block col-md-3 py-0\">Service<\/th>\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\" class=\"col-6 col-md-4 py-0\">Download Speed<\/th>\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\" class=\"col-6 col-md-4 py-0\">Monthly Cost<br><small class=\"text-muted\">(will rise each April by \u00a34)<\/small><\/th>\r\n\t\t\t<th scope=\"col\" class=\"d-none d-md-block col-md-1 p-0\"><\/th>\r\n\t\t<\/tr>\r\n\t<\/thead><tbody><tr class=\"row position-relative px-3 m-0 border-top\" ><td class=\"col-md-3 px-2 pl-md-0 pt-3 pb-3 border-0 text-center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/kenstechtips.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/BT-Logo-2019-250x250.png\" class=\"my-1\" alt=\"BT\" width=\"150\" style=\"max-height: 25px;

You&#8217;ll be given the option to customise your package. This is where you can add Hybrid Connect, or other features like BT Complete Wi-Fi and BT TV.<\/p>\n<p>Your new Hybrid Connect device will be sent out to you the same day, providing you order before 3pm. It can be used to get online whilst you&#8217;re waiting for your main broadband service to go live.<\/p>\n<p>On the date that your main BT Broadband service goes live, you can setup your new BT Smart Hub 2 router.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, it isn&#8217;t necessary to separately cancel your old broadband service. This is because BT will normally do this for you automatically. However, if you&#8217;re a customer of Virgin Media, or another provider that doesn&#8217;t use the Openreach network, you&#8217;ll need to contact your old provider to cancel your service.<\/p>\n<p>For step-by-step instructions on how to switch to BT Broadband, please select your current broadband provider from the drop down menu below:<\/p>\n<div class=\"card d-inline-block
