*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.

Broadband deals in Wales

Due to its complicated topography and population distribution, the cost of rolling out network coverage to Wales is much higher than the UK average. As a result, Wales has historically experienced lower-than-average broadband availability.

Nevertheless, there’s been real progress over the past few years. The vast majority of Welsh homes are connected to superfast fibre broadband, while ultrafast full fibre coverage continues to rapidly expand its reach across the country.

In fact, a substantial 40% of Welsh homes now have access to full fibre broadband, bringing Wales in line with the rest of the UK.

All this is to say, if you’re living in Wales, you should have a decent selection of broadband options to choose from.

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.

What types of broadband can I get in Wales?

You can get several types of broadband in Wales, 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, consider that instead. It’s much faster and more reliable than ADSL, as it uses fibre optic cables to deliver your home internet connection. Luckily, most areas in Wales have access to some form of fibre broadband – there are two types:

  • 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. Speeds are usually anywhere 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

FTTC broadband is a lot more common than FTTP. If you live in an urban area in Wales, you’ll have much better chance of getting FTTP, though full fibre is being rolled out across the rest of the country. 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.

In general, most homes in Wales will have access to fibre optic broadband.

Superfast fibre broadband (with average speeds of 36-68Mbps) is widely available, with 95% of Welsh homes able to get it.

Meanwhile, ultrafast coverage continues to steadily grow. A 2022 Ofcom report found that 40% of Welsh households are now connected to full fibre – so, if you happen to live in an area that’s connected, you’ll be able to enjoy some of the top speeds on the market.

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 Wales?

It’s hard to say which internet provider is the best in Wales, as that largely depends on what you’re looking for in a broadband deal, as well as what you can get in your area.

As with the rest of the UK, BT’s Openreach network has the most widespread coverage across Wales. So, you’ll be able to get fibre broadband with any provider that uses Openreach’s infrastructure. This includes most household names, such as Sky, EE, Plusnet, TalkTalk, Vodafone, NOW, and – of course – BT.

If you can get it, Virgin Media offers the fastest broadband in the country, with speeds reaching up to a dizzying 1,130Mbps.

What broadband speed can I expect in Wales?

Again, that depends on where you live in Wales, as well as the speed that suits your needs best.
