What is gigabit broadband?
It’s broadband that can reach download speeds of 1Gbps. That’s 1,000Mbps, or one gigabit per second – hence why we call it ‘gigabit broadband’.
In other words, it’s incredibly fast internet. To give you an idea of just how fast that is, basic ADSL broadband only reaches average speeds around 10Mbps, while most standard fibre optic broadband clocks in between 30-100Mbps.
With a lightning-fast gigabit service, you can download files quickly, stream without interruption, and use lots of devices at once, and still have a lot of megabits’ worth of bandwidth to spare.
What’s more, those extra speeds don’t come cheap. Gigabit broadband is usually quite a bit more expensive than regular broadband.
What can I do with gigabit broadband speeds?
The real question is, what can’t you do with gigabit internet speeds? This type of broadband allows you to:
-
Connect lots of devices
With all that bandwidth at your disposal, you can have several computers, phones, tablets, TVs, gaming consoles, and smart gadgets using the internet at once. That makes it a great choice for a household with lots of people.
-
Stream video in high definition
You can stream 4K-resolution content with barely any buffering, even if someone else in the house is streaming TV too. According to Ofcom's latest report, gigabit speeds enable ultra hi-def video streaming with 100% delivery reliability², so you can spend less time buffering and more time watching.
-
Work from home
Gigabit internet gives you plenty of speed to download large files, and to connect to VPNs, virtual environments, or remote PCs and services without being slowed down. It’s a more reliable line, so you don’t need to worry about losing connection from an important Zoom meeting.

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.
Who needs gigabit broadband?
Anyone who would benefit from a seriously high-powered internet connection.
That includes those who rely on very fast internet for work, households who regularly stream in high definition, and gamers who benefit from ultrafast broadband.
It’s essential, too, if you need high upload speeds – for instance, if you host a server, browse using a VPN, run livestreams as a content creator, or just make a lot of video calls.
It’s also not a bad shout if the only other internet in your postcode is slow or unreliable. If you haven’t had much luck with broadband from providers like BT or Virgin Media, gigabit providers offer an alternative.
Not everyone benefits from gigabit broadband, however. In all honesty, the average household – with fewer than, say, five internet users – is fine with a standard broadband connection. Especially if no one in the house does anything particularly intensive online.
And if you only really use the internet for email, social media, and watching a bit of TV, there’s no need for gigabit internet at all.
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
Are gigabit broadband speeds worth it?
This really depends on two key considerations:
What do you want to use your internet for, and on how many devices?
What are the other options for your property?
If you really do rely on ultrafast speeds (e.g. if you work with high tech services, use VPNs a lot, stream in high definition or use VR regularly, or just have a very large household with lots of gadgets and lots of people using them at once), you may find gigabit broadband is worth it.
For the majority of households though, speeds between 50-100Mbps are more than enough. Even if you have a lot of connected devices. Bear in mind that most tasks, like browsing the web, listening to Spotify, or even streaming a TV show, only use a couple of megabits of bandwidth.
Can I get gigabit broadband in my area?
Ultrafast networks are mostly found in cities and decent-sized towns that providers have found to be the most financially viable. That said, the networks are expanding all the time.
Find out if you can get it where you are with our postcode checker. Type in your postcode, and we’ll show you everything available. You can find the very fastest options by sorting the searching results by speed.
Which providers offer gigabit broadband?
Gigabit speeds are available in certain areas through the BT-owned Openreach network, which a large number of other broadband providers piggyback on.
Virgin Media also offers extremely fast internet, in speeds up to 1130Mbps – but, again, its very highest speeds are limited to certain areas.
Other gigabit broadband options tend to come from independent networks. Many of these are often highly localised to one area of the country, and dedicated to getting as many locals connected to fast internet as possible
Here’s a full list of providers we list through our broadband comparison service who offer 1Gbps gigabit broadband (or, at minimum, broadband of 900Mbps+):
