Find out what speed you should be getting
*Average speeds are based on the download speeds of at least 50% of customers at peak time (8pm to 10pm). Speed can be affected by a range of technical and environmental factors. The speed you receive where you live may be lower than that listed above. You can check the estimated speed to your property prior to purchasing.
Fibre/cable services at your postcode are subject to availability. You can confirm availability on the provider's website.
Some broadband providers may increase monthly prices each year during your contract. Please refer to individual broadband provider's terms and conditions before signing up.
Whatever kind of broadband you’re after for your Belfast home, there’s a good chance you can get it. Type your postcode in above, and we’ll show you all the deals currently available from the providers we work with.
You can search for broadband-only deals, broadband and home phone combo deals, and of course broadband and TV bundles from the likes of Sky and Virgin Media.
ADSL broadband – This is a ‘basic’ standard broadband service, available to any home that has a landline. Speeds are on the slow side, around 10Mbps
Standard fibre optic broadband (fibre-to-the-cabinet, or FTTC) – The most common form of fibre broadband. It’s very widely available to the majority of Belfast homes, and offers download speeds ranging from around 30-80Mbps.
Full fibre broadband (fibre-to-the-premises, or FTTP) – This is ultrafast broadband, with speeds up to 1,000Mbps (1Gbps). Full fibre is gradually rolling out across the country and is available to a large number of homes in Belfast. However, it can be quite expensive
Cable broadband – Available from Virgin Media, which uses a combination of fibre optic and coaxial cables to reach your home. You can get speeds ranging from 132Mbps to an amazingly fast 1,130Mbps
There are three simple steps to compare broadband deals and switch providers
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.
We algorithmically sort broadband packages based on your location, the speed you'd get, and how much it costs.
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.
Whether you're looking for cheap and cheerful or high-spec full fibre broadband, everyone's needs are different. Finding the best deal for you starts with understanding how you plan to use it or if bundling your services lower your monthly bill.
If you're still in your minimum term, you'd be subject to an early repayment charge if you ended your contract early.
If you're out of contract or approaching the end, you can switch without penality.
A tariff may offer everything you're looking for, but does it come to the right monthly price and offer good value for money? Shop around to find the right tariff at the best possible price.
Many providers offer tempting incentives, such as cashback or gift cards to new customers. These may help bring down the cost of an expensive broadband deal, although you should also consider whether these gifts are as important as factors such as speed and cost.
