What is Bristol's best broadband provider?
If you live in Bristol you have a great selection of broadband options, from entry-level fibre deals to ultrafast gigabit full fibre bundled with TV and a landline.
According to Ofcom's latest data:
Sky remains one of the most reliable choices: it has among the fewest complaints per 100,000 customers.
Plusnet also stands out on customer-service measures. Its complaint rate is low and overall satisfaction is relatively strong.
On pure speed, if you have access to full-fibre options in Bristol, providers like Virgin Media often offer very high download speeds, though they may come with more complaints than the very best providers for customer service.
What broadband speeds can I expect in Bristol?
Broadband speeds in Bristol vary depending on your address, but many homes now have access to full-fibre or gigabit-capable networks, offering download speeds of up to around 1,000 Mbps.
Typical averages for residents tend to sit around 100–150 Mbps, though slower copper-based connections still exist in some areas.
Upload speeds are generally much lower than downloads, especially on non-fibre lines. Your exact speeds will depend on which providers serve your postcode and the package you choose.
What types of broadband can I get in Bristol?
Bristol is home to all types of broadband, from the most basic ADSL deal to the fastest full fibre connection.
Standard ADSL broadband is the most common and basic type of internet connection. It uses your copper phone wires to deliver internet to your home, with speeds averaging around 10-11Mbps.
Fibre optic broadband is just as widely available – and we’d hands-down recommend that over ADSL. It’s much faster and more reliable, as it uses fibre optic cables to deliver your home internet connection.
Fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC)– this uses fibre optic cables to connect the exchange to the nearest street cabinet to your home, before using copper phone wires between the cabinet and your home. Average speeds are superfast, usually between 36-68Mpbs
Fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) – this uses fibre optic cables all the way between the exchange to your home, resulting in a quicker, more stable connection. Speeds usually range from 100Mbps all the way to 1,000Mbps (1Gbps) and above
Coverage is very strong: approximately 88% of homes in Bristol are connected (or can connect) to full-fibre, and about 98% of premises are gigabit-capable.
What's the average broadband bill in Bristol?
Our Household Money Index shows that the average broadband bill in Bristol is £39.06, that's £10.46 cheaper than the national average (£49.50), and £21.42 cheaper than the average broadband bill in London (£61.48).
This should give you some idea of how much broadband in Bristol could cost you.
City | Average Broadband Bill |

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
Should I bundle my services?
Bundling your services can help you save even more on your broadband bills.
If you watch TV or enjoy streaming, bundling could save you money
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.
If you want a landline or a SIM card, broadband and phone packages are good value
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.
If you want to bundle everything, 'Triple Play' can simplify your bills
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.
If you just need a broadband connection, don't pay for more than you need
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.
If fixed broadband access is an issue, try mobile broadband
Mobile broadband has come a long way, with providers like Three offering 4G & 5G home broadband connections at speeds of up to 150Mbps.
How to compare and switch broadband
There are three simple steps to compare broadband deals and switch providers
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
How to get a better broadband deal
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.
-
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 your contract early.
If you're out of contract or approaching the end, you can switch without penality.
-
Can you get a better deal for the same price?
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.
-
Can you get any bundles, freebies, or cashback?
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.

Broadband explained
Which is the best internet provider in Bristol?
It’s difficult to name the “best” internet provider in Bristol, as that largely depends on things like speed, monthly cost, contract length, and any extras – as well as what you can get at your address.
If we’re purely looking at speed, the fastest broadband in Bristol is supplied by Virgin Media. Otherwise, you can get superfast and ultrafast fibre broadband with any provider that uses BT’s Openreach network. This includes the likes of Sky, EE, Plusnet, TalkTalk, Vodafone, NOW, and BT.
Even if you live in a more rural part of Bristol, you may still be able to get ultrafast fibre from the likes of Hyperoptic, Gigaclear and Truespeed – all of which are specialist full fibre providers.
What broadband speed can I expect in Bristol?
Again, that depends on where you live in/around Bristol, as well as the speed that suits your needs best. Generally speaking, Bristol has excellent broadband coverage, and ultrafast fibre broadband is widely available from a range of providers.
Wondering what speed you’re currently getting? Use our broadband speed test to see your home broadband speed – that way, you can check if you’re getting the advertised speeds, and decide whether you need a faster broadband package.
