Our featured broadband deal

Our pick is Vodafone's Full Fibre 150 deal. We've chosen this deal as a great option for consumers because, at a considerably low price for ultrafast average speeds of 150Mbps, it’s very good value compared to other offers with similar speeds. Especially once you factor in the high-value gift voucher that's only available for a limited time.

Not only does it have a very reasonable monthly price, but it also comes with no upfront charge, and no price rise until 2026. However, the monthly price will rise by £3 per month in April 2026, and then each year after that unless you switch or re-contract. If you don't, you will see an additional 'end of contract' price increase in 2027.

At 150Mbps, the average speed on offer from this deal is fast enough to handle households with lots of devices in use at once. It should let multiple people stream high-quality TV or games, and also work from home at the same time with no issues. And since this deal is available to the majority of UK homes, it’s very likely you can get it at your home too.

What to consider when searching for broadband deals

The right broadband deal for you isn't always the cheapest, fastest, or one with the most extras. It's the deal best suited to you, your household and what you use the internet for.

By comparing different offers and providers, you can find a broadband deal that matches your needs at a price you're happy with.

Here's what to think about when looking for your ideal broadband offer:

Are you out of contract?

If your contract has already ended, you're likely paying more each month than you need to.

But since it means you can get a new deal immediately, it could be the perfect time to find a better broadband plan.

What’s your budget?

Comparing a range of broadband deals is the best way to find the right deal that matches your budget. Your current provider may offer some good-value plans to re-contract, but if you want to find the best value for your money, you should also browse elsewhere.

Do you want a faster broadband speed?

Faster fibre connections are becoming more available, sometimes for similar prices to what you might already be paying.

So, if you've been struggling with slow broadband speeds, it's worth seeing if faster deals are accessible in your area.

Do you watch pay TV?

If you're currently using a pay TV service with Sky, BT, or Virgin, it may work out at a better rate to bundle your broadband service with them, too.

See how much your current total monthly cost is and compare it to the TV and broadband bundles on offer from those providers.

How important is customer service to you?

Some providers are considered to have better broadband customer service than others. And some will offer more ways to strengthen your broadband connection, either with whole-home guarantees or Wi-Fi boosters.

It's wise to check what each provider offer as part of its service outside of the speed and price.

Are you moving home?

If you're moving, search with your new address to see if you can continue your current broadband plan. When you search, select the 'I'm moving to this address' option in the drop-down list.

Keep in mind that if your current broadband service isn't available at your new home and you need to sign up for a new deal, you may need to pay some early exit fees.

Are there different offers available in particular areas of the UK?

Larger broadband providers usually offer the same packages nationwide, as the broadband networks they use are available across the country. However, there are also dozens of smaller broadband providers with specific availability in different areas of the UK.

These regional brands, known as 'altnets' or 'alternative providers', aren't as widely available as the big companies, but they offer a comparable (and sometimes far better) service, often for more reasonable prices. Some have also committed to no mid-contract price rises, unlike well-known providers like BT, Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk, Vodafone and others.

Broadband providers you can compare with Uswitch

With many broadband providers available across the UK, there are usually many options when searching for a new broadband deal. Uswitch hosts a range of brands we trust to deliver a high-quality, reliable service for different needs.

We don't cover every broadband provider available in the UK, but we do offer deals from all of the largest UK suppliers and well over a dozen local broadband providers. So, we'll very likely have a range of options available to most homes in the country.

To find the right service for you and your household, you can compare offers from the UK's top broadband suppliers here.

How to find the right provider

When comparing providers, the most important thing to do is check how good they are at different parts of a broadband service. The right provider for you could perform well on several things, including:

Internet speed
Value for money
Reliability
Customer service
TV options
Home equipment
Mid-contract price rises

The best way to choose a provider is to decide which features you want most from your broadband, and then compare deals from providers that excel at them. If you're unsure how to do that, our provider reviews and awards could help.

You should also remember that most broadband providers include mid-contract price rises in their contracts. A small number of suppliers offer fixed-price broadband, but their coverage across the UK is slightly more limited.

If you want to switch broadband, the best time is usually when your current contract ends. If you try to switch halfway through your contract, you'll likely have to pay an early exit fee for the remaining months.

Uswitch Telecoms Awards 2025

Our yearly telecoms awards crown different broadband providers for their excellent service across these important areas. Awards are a very useful indicator when deciding which broadband provider is right for you, as they highlight which providers currently offer a great customer experience.

To learn more about which provider you should choose, see which ones we awarded for customer service, value for money, reliability and more in our 2025 Uswitch Telecoms Awards.

Broadband provider reviews

To help you make a more confident decision on your next broadband provider, we have in-depth expert reviews of the biggest broadband providers in the UK. These reviews look at all of the most important parts of a broadband service and rate each provider on how well they perform at them.

We back our broadband reviews up with a 20,000-person customer survey, which asks them what they like the most (and least) about their provider. This way, you can easily find out which provider is considered the best in several different categories and choose the provider that's right for you.

We have expert broadband reviews of popular providers like Virgin Media, Sky, BT, EE, Vodafone and more, so make sure to visit our reviews hub to see how they all compare.

What happens after I switch providers?

Switching providers is often a very simple process. Our recent study found that UK broadband customers are wasting an average of £40.93¹ by putting off switching their broadband supplier.

Signing up to a better broadband deal is almost always worth the process, especially when you consider the money you could save.

Here's what happens when you switch:

1
Once you've chosen a deal, you'll be sent to the provider's website to sign up.
2
Add your details, confirm the broadband deal you want and select any add-ons you'd like.
3
When you sign up, your new provider will show you all the charges you should expect to pay during your contract.
4
You can also choose the date you want to start your new connection.
5
After you complete your purchase, you'll receive a confirmation email from your provider, allowing you to activate your connection on a chosen date.

The switching process is now even simpler with the recent rollout of One Touch Switch. It means you no longer need to cancel your contract with our old supplier if you're switching to a different broadband network (such as from BT to Virgin Media).

This has long been the case for switching to different providers on the same network, such as BT to Sky. But having this extra step covered now means you can upgrade to a new broadband connection with even less hassle.

Learn more about how to switch broadband providers

Our broadband expert says...

“Switching is one of the best ways to save money on your broadband. Most providers offer their deals at cheaper rates for new customers, and many will throw in high-value gift vouchers for signing up, too.

It also helps you make sure you're always getting the service you need. If your internet keeps dropping out, you can look for providers who use a more reliable network. If you don't watch as much TV as you used to, you could start comparing broadband-only deals from a wider range of providers.

Searching elsewhere for a better deal can mean big savings in the short and long run, as well as improvements in speed and your online experience as a whole.”

What is broadband?

Broadband allows you to use the internet while you're at home.

Internet-carrying cables transmit broadband data from a provider's exchange to a landline or fibre-optic socket in your property. You can then plug your Wi-Fi router into the socket, which sends a wireless internet signal throughout the home. Your internet-enabled devices can then connect to the router and get online.

This technology allows you to stream TV, use social media, play video games, work from home, order products to your home, and much more. However, there is still a range of ways broadband can reach your home, and depending on which types of broadband are available to you, your online experience could be quite different.

What are the types of broadband in my area?

There are different types of broadband available depending on where you live. Here are the most common ways you can get broadband in your area.

Full fibre

Full fibre (or fibre to the premises) connects fibre cables directly to your property. It provides ultrafast speeds starting at 100Mbps and reaching beyond 1Gbps (1000Mbps). It's currently available to around 73% of the UK.

Part-fibre

Part-fibre (or fibre to the cabinet) broadband is available in 98% of the country. It offers superfast speeds between 30 and 70Mbps and is the most used type of broadband in the UK (despite faster options being available to most homes).

Cable (Virgin Media)

Virgin Media cable broadband is a separate fibre-optic network run by Virgin. It provides ultrafast speeds of up to 1Gbps to over 60% of UK homes, mainly in towns and cities.

Mobile broadband

4G/5G mobile internet is often a backup option, but it can also be relied on for home broadband. It's a great option for homes that can't access fibre.

Copper ADSL

Copper ADSL is the oldest and slowest type of broadband in the country. It offers 10Mbps average speeds to 99% of the UK through the Openreach copper phone lines.

Satellite broadband

Satellite broadband is also an option for people in hard-to-reach areas. Companies like Starlink allow rural homes to get online via a satellite dish at speeds similar to normal broadband.

What's the right speed for me?

You should consider two things when deciding the right internet speed for your home:

How many devices often connect to your Wi-Fi
What activities you often use the internet for

If you're a family or you live with other people, lots of devices will likely be using up your broadband speed at the same time. And if you or others at home like to stream TV, play games online or work from home, your household's broadband demand will increase.

The average UK broadband speed is about 69Mbps, according to Ofcom in December 2024². This speed would be enough for three or four people to comfortably use the internet for regular activities. But if several people in your home like to stream in 4K or regularly work from home, you may need a speed above 100Mbps.

Read our internet speeds guide for more advice on what broadband speed is right for you.

Guide: What broadband speed do I need?

What is my current broadband speed?

You can find your current internet speed by running a broadband speed test at home while connected to your Wi-Fi router.

Our Uswitch broadband speed test will tell you the download and upload speeds you have with your current package and compare it to the average broadband speed in your area. You can then use that result to search for broadband deals that match (or beat) your current speed.

Just be aware that internet speeds are always changing, and one test might not give a clear view of the speed you usually get. That's why providers advertise packages with average speeds, which they measure over a longer period.

Can't remember the speed you chose when you signed up? You can find out by checking your latest bill, signing into your online account or contacting your provider directly.

What’s the fastest broadband in my area?

The fastest broadband you can get depends on which broadband types are available at your home. For example, full fibre offers much faster speeds and better reliability than older technology, but its coverage across the UK is slightly more limited for now.

Over 80% of UK homes have access to either full fibre or Virgin Media's ultrafast network. Both types of broadband offer the fastest broadband speeds available in the UK, but these connections aren't yet as widely available as slower types of broadband like part-fibre, which still uses old copper phone lines to get to your home.

Part-fibre speeds will still likely be fast enough for many households, but the connection quality is less consistent than full fibre, which doesn't rely on old copper cables.

What can affect broadband speed?

Several things can affect the broadband speed you get. Some depend on where your home is or the types of connections you can get, but others are things you can improve yourself. Here are some examples:

The type of broadband you have

Different types of broadband offer different levels of speed and reliability. Fibre broadband is generally faster and more dependable than copper internet. However, the most widely available fibre connections still use copper to reach your home.

Similarly, Virgin Media's network only partially relies on fibre-optic cables, which means it can be prone to more outages than other high-speed types like full fibre. Since full fibre solely relies on fibre-optic cables, its connection is stronger and more consistent than older types.

If you use mobile broadband, keep in mind that mobile internet is less consistent than a fixed-line broadband connection, so your speed could vary quite a lot.

Your distance to the nearest broadband exchange or cabinet

If you have a part-fibre connection, your speed may be slower than the advertised average if your home is more than 1.5km from its nearest street cabinet. Plus, if you're still on a full-copper connection, your speed may be limited even further if your home is more than four miles from your provider's nearest broadband exchange.

However, this won't affect you if you have full fibre broadband because this slowdown doesn't occur on fibre-optic cables.

Where your Wi-Fi router is

If you've got slow internet, changing your home setup could help. You may just need to move your router to a better spot in your house or flat.

To get the most out of your router, place it in a central, open part of your home and keep it away from objects and devices that might block its signal.

Guide: how to improve a slow broadband speed

The time of day

The busier the internet is, the slower it tends to be.

When more people use their Wi-Fi during peak times (around 8 p.m. to 10 p.m.), the strain on the infrastructure increases. The peak in internet traffic can mean slower speeds for each household in your area.

It also mostly affects copper broadband connections more than fibre because fibre cables can handle much more data in any given time period.

Why is broadband speed advertised as an 'average'?

Many things can impact the internet speed you get at home at any given time, so you won't always get the advertised speed on your broadband package all the time. The speed quoted when browsing deals is an average reading the provider has measured over a certain period.

To be advertised correctly, average speeds are measured during peak hours of the day and must be available to at least 50% of users in the area.

What type of broadband package should I choose?

You can add TV, landline or mobile phone services to your broadband contract with certain providers, which might help keep your costs down. So, a bundle could be a good option if you often use a landline or watch pay-TV channels.

Broadband-only

Broadband-only deals are a great option if you:

Don't need a landline
Only watch TV on streaming services like Netflix
Want more reasonably priced deals

Broadband-only deals offer simple plans for those who just want to get online, while still offering ultrafast speeds if you're after a speedy connection.

Broadband and home phone

Broadband and home phone deals are a good option if you:

Regularly use your landline for calls
Can only get broadband through your phone line
Make a lot of calls abroad

The most widely available broadband packages still need a landline to get internet to your property, so it's common to see these services offered together.

Broadband and TV

Broadband and TV bundles can help save money if you:

Watch lots of pay-TV on channels like Sky Sports, BT Sport or Sky Atlantic
Are paying different providers for your broadband and TV
Want to pay for both services in one monthly bill

If you're a Sky, Virgin Media or BT user, a broadband and TV bundle will let you access their premium services for a less expensive monthly fee.

Just bear in mind that they'll only be better value if you regularly use the TV package you choose.

Broadband, home phone, TV, mobile

These types of deals are rare, but they're great if you:

Have the budget to pay for top-quality services
Are loyal to a certain provider
Want the best features from all your services

All-in broadband bundles can be expensive, so they're not a good fit for people looking to keep costs down. But if you have a flexible budget and already use all of these services, the price would likely be better than the total cost you're paying right now.

Virgin Media offers a Mega Volt bundle that merges these four services — see if it's right for your needs.

If you receive Universal Credit or other financial support, you could save an average of £200 per year with a low-income social tariff, according to Ofcom³.

These are often the most cost-efficient packages you can get, but you need to be eligible for them. So you'll need to be on one of the following support schemes to get the discounted service:

Universal Credit
Personal Independence Payment
Jobseeker's Allowance
Employment and Support Allowance
Pension Credit
Income Support

See our guide on broadband social tariff deals to see if you're eligible for a low-cost broadband package.

Check if you're eligible for a broadband social tariff

If you're not eligible for a social tariff but want to keep your broadband costs down, visit our cheap broadband deals page. We have a range of simple broadband plans that you could choose for well under £25 per month.

Frequently asked questions

Still looking for the right deal? Our experts are here to answer your questions.

Can I get fibre broadband?

You can likely get fibre broadband in some form since part-fibre is available nationwide, and full fibre coverage is now across most of the UK.

To see what fibre broadband options you have at your home, enter your postcode on our fibre broadband page. We'll show you which brands and packages are available in your area. Then, you can compare unlimited broadband speeds and prices to find a good deal for your household.

Do I need to cancel my old broadband?

You likely won't need to cancel your old contract when you switch to a new provider.

As of 12 September 2024, all customers should be able to complete their switch by only contacting their new provider. This is thanks to One Touch Switch, a new switching process implemented by Ofcom that providers must adhere to.

Previously, if you switched to a provider on a different broadband network (such as BT to Virgin Media), you would also need to cancel your old contract.

But this is no longer the case for the majority of customers. You should now be able to switch to any other broadband network without contacting your old provider.

Read our guide on One Touch Switch for more advice on finding the right broadband deal.

Which contract length is right for me?

You can choose from a range of contract lengths, depending on what is best for your needs. You can choose from as short as 30-day rolling options to 24-month commitments.

If you need student broadband or you're renting, shorter contracts might be easier to line up with the end of your tenancy period. If you own a home, you could get away with a longer contract if you're unlikely to move properties anytime soon.

It's worth noting that shorter contracts usually come with higher monthly prices. So, if your priority is keeping your monthly bills down, a longer contract might suit you better. However, it also means you'll be tied to the same price for longer. And this might make it harder to switch to better deals as often.

Will my prices go up mid-contract?

Unless you're with one of the few fixed-price broadband providers, you'll likely have to deal with a price increase during your contract.

2025 saw inflation-linked price rises of up to 7.5% for broadband, with most providers tying their price rises to the CPI inflation rate at the start of 2024.

However, under a new Ofcom ruling, many customers who have recently signed up for a contract will be on a fixed-rate price increase instead. So, if you recently signed up for a new deal, your monthly bill will increase by a fixed amount rather than an unpredictable inflation figure.

Most big brands, such as BT, Virgin Media, Plusnet, TalkTalk and Vodafone, have annual price increases in their contract terms, so you can't cancel your contract with them early for free.

Others, like Sky and NOW Broadband, usually increase their prices, too, but you can often cancel your contract early without paying any exit fees.

Some providers (Hyperoptic, YouFibre, Trooli and more) don't have any price increases during the initial contract period.

Find out which providers do and don't increase your prices mid-contract.

When is the best time to switch?

The best time to switch providers is when your current contract is ending. That way, you can move straight onto a new tariff without paying any early exit fees and before your current provider moves you onto more expensive out-of-contract prices.

You can find your contract end date by logging into your account on your provider's website. Your provider also must send you an 'end of contract' message when your end date is approaching, so keep an eye out for that to make sure you switch at the right time.

However, if you're already out of contract and paying higher fees, you can switch anytime. You just have to give your current provider 30 days' notice.

Learn more with our guide on the best time to switch broadband.

How do I know if I'm out of contract?

The quickest way is to log into your account online and check or call and ask. Your provider is legally obliged to tell you if you're still under contract and when your contract ends.

If you signed up for a Uswitch account when you got your last broadband deal, we'll send you a reminder when your contract ends.

But if your contract has already ended, you should look to switch or renew it immediately to avoid paying expensive out-of-contract prices.

What are end of contract notifications?

End-of-contract messages are emails, texts, or letters your broadband provider must send you before your contract ends.

Providers used to get away with increasing your monthly price by a huge amount once you fall out of contract without even telling you. Now, they have to tell you when your contract is ending, plus what other deals you could move onto for a better price.

For more information, read our full guide on end-of-contract notifications.

Can I get satellite broadband?

You probably can get satellite broadband, but it'll likely be expensive.

SpaceX's satellite internet company, Starlink, is now available anywhere in the UK. However, its prices are very high right now because it's a new service that costs a lot of money to run.

Other satellite broadband companies are in development, such as the UK's OneWeb and Amazon's Kuiper project. However, Starlink is the only modern satellite provider currently available to regular customers.
