*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.
Like the rest of the UK, broadband deals in Scotland largely depend on your location.
Those living in urban areas, such as Edinburgh or Glasgow, will be able to enjoy great coverage from a range of providers. Not to mention, you’ll have the top pick of speeds, whether that’s an entry-level fibre deal or the speediest gigabit broadband on the market.
On the flip side, your options are likely to be more limited if you’re living rurally. Still, you should be able to easily get standard ADSL and fast fibre broadband.
Not to mention, Openreach has been rolling out its FTTP network across the country. According to Ofcom's 2022 Connected Nations report, 41% of Scottish households now have access to full fibre broadband.

To compare broadband deals, we'll need your postcode.
You can get several types of broadband in Scotland, although your options depend on where you live. All homes should be able to get standard ADSL broadband, which is the most common and basic type of broadband connection. It uses your copper phone wires to deliver internet to your home, with speeds averaging around 10-11Mbps.
If you can get fibre optic broadband, we’d recommend that instead. It’s much faster and more reliable than ADSL, as it uses fibre cables to deliver your home internet connection. Luckily, most areas have access to some form of fibre broadband – there are two types:
Fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC): this uses fibre cables to connect the exchange to the nearest street cabinet to your home, before using copper phone wires between the cabinet and your home. Speeds are usually anywhere between 36-68Mpbs
Fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP): this uses fibre 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
FTTC broadband is a lot more common than FTTP, although networks are continuing to roll out their full fibre infrastructure across Scotland. For more on the differences between the two, visit our page on FTTP and FTTC broadband.
Finally, there’s also cable broadband, which uses both fibre optic and coaxial cables to provide ultrafast gigabit broadband. Currently, only Virgin Media operates a cable network – as a result, it’s able to provide the fastest broadband on the market, up to 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.
Unlike some of our competitors, MoneySuperMarket is not owned by an insurance company. So we can offer the best value, with savings delivered straight to you.
By combining independence with our excellent technology, we can negotiate the best prices and the best value on products and services.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
MoneySuperMarket has won the Feefo Platinum Trusted Service Award, an independent seal of excellence, which recognises businesses that consistently deliver a world-class customer experience.
In general, most homes in Scotland will have access to fibre optic broadband. Ofcom's 2023 report found that there was wide coverage of superfast broadband across the country, with 95% of Scottish homes (2.6 million) able to access speeds of 30Mbps.
Urban dwellers are the most spoilt for choice – it’s highly likely that you’ll be able to get both FTTC and FTTP broadband from any Openreach provider, as well as Virgin Media’s ultrafast cable broadband.
Meanwhile, those living rurally might only have access to FTTC broadband at the moment. And the most remote areas – for example, the Highlands – might only have the option of ADSL broadband. Networks are continuing to expand their fibre networks to these rural regions, though.
The speed of broadband you'll get depends on where you live. For example, those in Aberdeen may get different speeds to someone in Glasgow. The speed you're getting will also depend on what broadband package you've chosen and how many people are using the internet in your household at any given time.
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.
It’s difficult to say which is the “best” internet provider, as that largely depends on the type of broadband you need and what you can get at your address.
That said, the fastest broadband in Scotland is supplied by Virgin Media. If Virgin Media isn’t available in your area, you’ll likely be able to get fibre broadband with any provider that uses BT’s Openreach network. This includes the likes of Sky, EE, Plusnet, TalkTalk, Vodafone, NOW, and – of course – BT.
