I don’t think Ziggo offers 500 mbit up and down. Their upload is 50 mbit, which will be a problem.
I’ve had the same issue and needed to change to fibre and another ISP (XS4ALL).
So please check what is possible in Ede.
If you can get the required bandwidth, you have my support !
Also, you need to upgrade to 1TB NVME
Agreed with above…if you can get the require bandwidth you have my support.
Hi there, thank you for the response.
Yes, the hard disc will be upgraded. Internet will be also upgraded, i am waiting for some offerts about glas fiber.
Has my vote then for the final selection.
