*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.

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.
What is ultrafast broadband?
In a nutshell, ultrafast broadband is one of the speediest internet connections available. It’s delivered using full fibre broadband, also known as fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) or fibre-to-the-home. This uses plastic or glass cables that are faster than the traditional copper cables used with ADSL connections, typically meaning you get better speed and reliability.
With fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) connections, copper cables run from the cabinet in the street to the home. But full fibre uses the faster cables all the way to the home, resulting in a faster internet connection.
Typically, the term ‘ultrafast’ refers to broadband speeds between 300Mbps and 1Gbps (1,000Mbps). Click here to see if you can get fibre optic broadband in your area.
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 does ultrafast broadband compare to other broadband types?
Well, standard ADSL broadband – the most common type of broadband in the UK – delivers average speeds of around 10Mbps. It’s apt if you seldom use the internet, or live in a small household. Delivered via Openreach’s copper telephone lines, ADSL broadband is generally cheaper and slower than other connections.
Superfast broadband, on the other hand, is sent part-way to your home via copper cabling and partially through fibre optic cables. It features speeds of between 24Mbps and 300Mbps and is ideal for businesses and large households. If you’re a gamer, it’s also the obvious choice.
Ultrafast, then, reaches the home via a full fibre connection. In this case fibre optic cabling goes from the cabinet to your property. It’s worth noting that most households really won’t require anything like the ‘up to 1GB’ speeds provided by ultrafast broadband.
By way of example, the vast majority of fibre optic packages in the UK reach between 63Mbps and 67Mbps download speeds. Plenty fast enough for even the busiest of households.
Still, if your heart is set on ultrafast you can check if it’s available in your area with our easy-to-use postcode checker.
Which providers offer ultrafast broadband deals?
An increasing number of providers, both big and small, now offer ultrafast home broadband deals. However, whether you can get it really comes down to where you live.
Broadband providers that offer ultrafast packages include:
Virgin Media: Virgin Media is one of the UK’s fastest providers, with speeds in excess of 1Gbps (though it also has more modest ultrafast packages of 362Mbps and 516Mbps). But its network isn’t as widespread as some other providers
BT: Although BT’s broadband packages boast speeds of up to 300Mbps, it’s not yet widely available in the UK
Sky: Sky offers speeds of 500Mbps and 900Mbps, but which packages are available will depend on where you live
Hyperoptic: Go with Hyperoptic and you can expect speeds of up to 1GB. Right now, though, it’s only available in big cities such as London and Manchester – and mainly to blocks of flats and business units
Community Fibre: Primarily serving London, Community Fibre offers speeds of up to 3Gbps, which is ridiculously fast. You could download a 100MB video in just 0.2 seconds!
Vodafone: With speeds of up to 910Mbps, Vodafone’s ultrafast offering should be more than fast enough for any UK household
Shell Energy: The energy giant’s broadband arm gives speeds up to 900Mbps
Trooli: Again, this ultrafast broadband provider gives speeds of up to 900Mbps
Plusnet: It might be known as a budget provider, but Plusnet joins the ranks of the ultrafast, with speeds of up to 900Mbps
TalkTalk: Another ‘budget’ provider is rolling out full fibre broadband at up to 944Mbps
Gigaclear: Gigaclear brings ultrafast speeds of up to 900Mbps to rural areas in Britain
KCOM: Originally only available in Hull, KCOM has since expanded, bringing ultrafast speeds of up to 900Mbps to more areas
Cuckoo Broadband: Cuckoo gives 1% of its customers’ bills to charity, and offers speeds of up to 900Mbps

What are the pros and cons of ultrafast broadband?
Given that the average broadband speed in the UK currently stands at 64Mbps, most households won’t need ultrafast broadband. A standard fibre optic service will do just fine.
That said, if it’s available where you live and you want to take advantage, here’s the pros and cons:
-
A lot quicker than most broadband connections
-
More reliable compared to standard broadband
-
Available on its own without a phone line
-
Not widely available
-
More expensive than standard broadband
-
Can be more difficult to install
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
What is the difference between superfast and ultrafast broadband speeds?
Main difference is, ultrafast is quicker. Much quicker, in fact.
Whereas superfast broadband boasts speeds of speeds of anywhere between 245Mbps and 300Mbps, the term ultrafast is generally kept for packages capable of 300Mbps and above.
Is ultrafast broadband better than fibre broadband?
Here’s where things get a bit confusing. You see, when providers’ use the term ‘ultrafast’ they typically mean internet which exceeds 300Mbps.
However, this isn’t always the case. For example, Sky calls its 145Mbps broadband package ‘ultrafast.’ And although that’s quick enough for most households, it’s not true ultrafast broadband as recognised by most providers.
A true ultrafast connection is achieved through a pure fibre optic connection – in other words, full fibre optic cabling directly from the cabinet to the home.
As such, fibre optic and ultrafast are technically the same thing. Put simply, ultrafast is really just full fibre broadband.
Is ultrafast broadband available in my area?
Enter your postcode in our postcode checker to see which broadband deals are available where you live. You can sort the results by speed using the drop-down menu on the right.
Ultrafast broadband isn’t available everywhere, as fibre cables don’t run to every premises or even to every street cabinet.
When is ultrafast broadband going to be available at my address?
Hopefully soon. Openreach has announced plans to deliver ultrafast broadband to 25 million UK homes by 2026. That would support the government’s plans to bring gigabit internet to more than 85% of the country.
