How to compare and switch broadband

There are three simple steps to compare broadband deals and switch providers

  • 1

    Check you're out of contract

    Ensure you're no longer within the minimum terms of the contract length with your current broadband provider. You can find out by looking at your original contract, confirmation email, or by contacting their customer service.

  • 2

    Enter your postcode and choose a personalised bundle

    We algorithmically sort broadband packages based on your location, the speed you'd get, and how much it costs.

  • 3

    Complete your switch

    Your new provider should contact your current provider and arrange the switch for you. And you'll receive letters and emails updating you on this.

Should I bundle my broadband?

Bundling your services can save you up to 36% on your broadband bills - just be sure you're using the services you pay for

Broadband and TV packages are cost-effective if you already pay for TV services like Netflix, Sky Sports, or other Sky channels.

One bill could save you money, and Ofcom estimates that bundling services is up to 34% cheaper than buying them individually from separate providers.

Beyond landlines, broadband providers are starting to bundle SIM cards with a broadband connection. If you're currently on a SIM-only contract and it's up for renewal soon, look into combining your phone and broadband - it could work out a lot cheaper.

Bundling your broadband, phone, and TV packages will typically cost less than buying them all from separate providers - just be sure you're using what you're paying for.

Many providers offer just the broadband connection, so if you don't need TV channels, a landline, or any other services, then opting for a 'broadband only' connection could save you up to 15% on your broadband bills.

Mobile broadband has come a long way, with providers like Three offering 4G & 5G home broadband connections at speeds of up to 150Mbps.

What types of broadband are there in 2024?

The type of broadband connection and maximum speed you can get will vary by location.

ADSL stands for asymmetric digital subscriber line, also known as standard broadband. It provides an internet connection through the same line as your home phone.

ADSL broadband speeds are comparatively slower than those with cable or fibre. There are two different types of ADSL broadband:

  • ADSL1 is the slower of the two, usually reaching up to around 10Mbps

  • ADSL2+ is capable of faster speeds, often around a maximum of 24Mbps

FTTC (sometimes called 'part-fibre') is basic fibre broadband, available in most UK homes and is how you're most likely connected to the internet.

Superfast FTTC uses fibre optic cables to connect to your local street cabinet and copper cables to connect the cabinet to your premises.

With FTTC, you can expect download speeds anywhere from 30 to 250Mbps, which is enough for most households.

Since Virgin Media uses its own technology to deliver broadband to your premises rather than the Openreach network, it's not reliant on the same copper cabling used by other FTTC providers. Instead, it uses coaxial cables to connect your home to the local street cabinet.

This is why Virgin Media often delivers the best broadband speeds in areas it serves, competing even with full fibre download speeds.

Full fibre broadband connects your home to the internet using nothing but fibre optic cables, meaning it doesn't rely on slower copper or coaxial cabling. Setup can take a little longer but the benefits are huge.

Full fibre, on average, has better upload speeds, download speeds, and latency compared against copper-based technologies and Virgin Media's coaxial cabling.

As of July 2024, full fibre is available in 61% of the UK, with Northern Ireland leading the way at 91% coverage.

Beyond fixed broadband, mobile broadband connections are becoming more commonplace and can deliver speeds rivalling fibre.

With mobile broadband, there's typically no engineer visit as you're using the same kind of internet signal found in your phone.

Beyond the home, you can use a mobile broadband connection as portable Wi-Fi - though hot-spotting with your phone is generally fine for remote working and travel.

In extreme cases, satellite broadband can keep you connected when there is no fixed or mobile broadband availability, such as on a boat or in very rural areas.

You won't find any satellite internet providers on our panel, so if you need this service you'll need to consult specialist providers.

The Chancellor’s announcement to invest is over £500m of funding next year for improving reliable fast broadband and mobile coverage across our country will be welcomed by many Brits – particularly those who live in rural areas.

MoneySuperMarket’s Internet Accessibility Index revealed that the UK has the world’s 32nd fastest broadband speed, averaging 29.6 Mbps. The study also found that the UK also lags in affordability – 17th in the world – meaning we have the 47th best value-for-money internet.

Think about how much data you and your family use when choosing a fibre broadband package. Check your bill information, it should tell you how much you use monthly. You can then see how much you use, so pick the cheapest package that works for you.

What to consider before switching your broadband provider

  • Are you still within your contract?

    If you're still in your minimum term, you'd be subject to an early repayment charge if you ended the contract early.

    If you're out of contract or approaching the end, you can switch without penalty.

  • Can you get a better deal for the same price?

    A tariff may offer everything you’re looking for, but does it come at the right monthly price and offer good value for money? Shop around to find the right tariff at the best possible price.

  • Can you get any bundles, freebies, or cashback?

    Many providers offer tempting incentives, such as cashback or reward cards, to new customers, but you should consider whether these gifts are as important as factors such as speed and overall cost

  • Do you need extra services, like mobile SIMs or TV packages?

    Many providers offer other services alongside broadband, including home phone, TV and streaming bundles, and mobile SIMs.

Who is the UK's best broadband provider?

'Best' will depend on what you need from your broadband provider, but we've collected speed and customer service data from Ofcom to help steer your decision.

  • Sky was the least complained about, and had above-average satisfaction with complaint handling.

  • Virgin Media have the best download speeds, whereas Gigaclear recorded the best upload speeds

  • Plusnet customers are most satisfied with their overall service, including the speeds they're getting.

What broadband speed do I need?

Whether you're looking for a cheap and cheerful connection or high-spec ultrafast full fibre broadband, there's a deal for everyone. Finding the best deals for you starts with understanding how you plan to use it or if bundling your services lowers your monthly bill.

  • Icon of a letter and envelope

    I like to browse and send emails

    Up to 15Mbps: This is ideal if you live alone or just with one other person, and you use the internet for basic use like browsing, social media and emails. Opt for standard ASDL deal and save money for choosing the cheapest option, and if you don't need a landline, a broadband only deal can save you money.

  • icon of a house

    I work from home, or have a large household

    30-60Mbps: A household of four or more users will need a superfast connection, especially if they have multiple devices. A fibre broadband connection with speeds over 30Mbps should be robust enough to handle multiple users, from streaming Netflix to making video calls.

  • Icon of smart watch

    I like to game, stream in 4K, or use smart devices

    Up to 500Mbps: Gamers need great upload speeds to minimise lag, and if you've got a lot of smart devices in your home that bandwidth can add up fast. Our curated broadband for gamers deals takes these requirements into account.

  • Icon of broadband router

    I feel the need for serious speed

    Up to 1Gbps (1,000Mbps): If you want buttery smooth buffering and more bandwidth than you could ask for, gigabit broadband delivers. These come at a premium, but the ultrafast download speeds let you download files quickly, stream without interruption, and use lots of devices at once.

Broadband explained

Or, browse deals by region and city

Broadband is a type of high-speed internet connection.

The name 'broadband' comes from how it differs from the ‘narrowband’ dial-up connections of the 1990s and early 2000s. Broadband is much faster than dial-up, and is available in 99% of UK households as of 2024.

Typically, you access broadband from a router. This provides both a wireless (Wi-Fi) and a wired connection (via ethernet cables) to connect to the internet.

Broadband is delivered into your home or business through a few different methods, each with its own benefits and drawbacks:

  • ADSL stands for asymmetric digital subscriber line, also known as standard broadband. It provides an internet connection through the same line as your home phone.

  • FTTC (sometimes called 'part-fibre') is basic fibre broadband, available in most UK homes and is how you're most likely connected to the internet. It uses fibre optic cables to connect to your local street cabinet and copper cables to connect the cabinet to your premises. With FTTC, you can expect download speeds anywhere from 30 to 250Mbps, which is enough for most households.

  • Cable broadband (co-axial) is similar to fibre, but uses co-axial cables to connect your home or business to the local street cabinet. Currently, only Virgin Media use this type of broadband connection.

  • Full fibre broadband connects your home to the internet using nothing but fibre optic cables, meaning it doesn't rely on slower copper or coaxial cabling. Setup can take a little longer but the benefits are huge. Full fibre, on average, has better upload speeds, download speeds, and latency compared against copper-based technologies and Virgin Media's coaxial cabling.

    As of July 2024, full fibre is available in 61% of the UK, with Northern Ireland leading the way at 91% coverage.

  • Beyond fixed broadband, mobile broadband connections are becoming more commonplace and can deliver speeds rivalling fibre. With mobile broadband, there's typically no engineer visit as you're using the same kind of internet signal found in your phone.

You should be notified when your contract comes to an end, but you don’t have to wait until then. You can check when your contract expires – or if it already has done – by logging into your online account or calling up to check.

Prices can shoot up once the contract expires, so you should switch to a new deal as soon as possible.

At the end of your contract length, you can either choose to remain with your current provider, or switch to a better deal without having to pay any early exit fees.

Ask yourself if you’ve been happy with the speeds, customer service and overall experience. If the answer is no, it’s well worth shopping around for a better deal.

Even if you’re generally happy with your current provider, it might still be worth switching once your contract finishes. This is because prices often increase once the minimum term is up, and you can get the best discounts and extra rewards if you’re a new customer with another provider.

If you don’t want to switch just yet, you can also call your current provider to haggle for a better deal.

As a rule of thumb, the advertised speeds must be available to at least 50% of the provider’s customers between the peak hours of 8pm to 10pm.

However, even though a broadband package may be advertised as a certain speed, it’s common that it won’t always reach that. Many factors can affect your broadband speed, such as your location and the amount of network traffic in your area.

Many providers have minimum speed guarantees. If your speeds are still below the guaranteed minimum after 30 days and your provider hasn’t been able to improve that, you have the right to leave your contract without paying early exit fees.

Whether you're a small or larger business, there are plenty of business broadband and landline deals to choose from. Services can vary from provider to provider, but getting business broadband is pretty straightforward. The first step is to type in your postcode on our business broadband checker to find what's available at your address.

If you require an engineer visit or equipment, this often carries a setup cost.

You can compare broadband contracts with no upfront cost, but note that sometimes, a deal with slightly higher upfront costs might also come with a lower monthly charge, so you’ll actually pay less overall. It’s important to weigh up any upfront costs with the monthly cost.

To see the lowest-cost deals, sort your results by ‘total first-year cost’.
