Upgrade from BT Full Fibre 900 to EE 1.6 Gbps worth it?

Hey all, I'm considering upgrading from BT 900 to EE 1.6. 

Current connection is rock solid and full speed but it actually works out a lot cheaper to move to EE 1.6. After doing some research i read about some issues with latency spikes and speeds not being as they should. My query is, will the upgrade be worth it? 

With regards to my current usage, most important hardware is wired (Cat6) i.e Consoles/PC etc. I have my current BT SH2 connected to 3 x Ubiquiti Wifi 6 Access points for wireless.

Will i see improvements across the board (wired/wireless speeds latency) or have users seen negligible improvements?

Thanks!

Chris B.

You should do, but will BT/EE allow you to?
