*Average speeds are based on the download speed available to at least 50% of customers with this product during peak time (8 to 10pm). Your actual speeds depend on factors like your connection type, area, time of day and distance from the telephone exchange.
Deals are subject to local availability and may not be available to existing customers. You can confirm availability and estimated speeds for your property on the provider’s website - this may be different to what we show.
Some providers may increase monthly costs each year during your contract, in line with the retail or consumer price index. Check their terms before signing up.

TrustScore 4.7 | 41,886 reviewsLeeds has a wide range of full fibre options, with many networks offering the technology available across the city. Full fibre is usually more widely available in cities because in the past it was simpler and cheaper for providers to install it in denser, more urban areas.
As a result, not only are there ultrafast speeds on offer from the large broadband networks in Leeds, namely Openreach and Virgin Media, but there are smaller networks (called altnets) that supply broadband from an even wider range of broadband brands too.
These smaller broadband suppliers can often undercut some of the larger providers on price, so if you notice one of those connections available at your home, they would be worth considering.
Broadband in Leeds is generally very good, and most locations can enjoy some of the fastest fibre services in the UK.
Many locations can access ultrafast Virgin Media and full fibre services, which can deliver speeds in excess of 1.1Gbps - more than 12 times faster than the maximum speed offered by part-fibre packages.
These ultrafast services may not be available to every home in Leeds just yet, but availability of these connections has shot up in the last couple of years. So it pays to use our postcode checker to find out exactly what packages are now available where you live.
All of the UK's major internet providers offer broadband deals in Leeds. And there are also a large number of smaller, independent providers with over 100Mbps internet in the city.
With so much choice available to consumers, it pays to compare broadband prices, speeds and providers to find the best deal for you. Here are some of the more notable service providers.
Alternative networks (or 'altnets') are smaller broadband providers that use different networks to deliver full fibre. Their coverage is usually far less widespread than the larger networks like Openreach or Virgin Media, but prices can often be noticeably cheaper than those of the big providers.
Here are the altnets available in Leeds:

With so many options available, it's important that you can easily compare deals and see what features and extras are available. There are a range of factors to consider when looking for broadband deals in Leeds, but one key issue is the speed you receive.
You don't want to end up with a package that's too slow, but not everyone will require a blazingly fast, high-speed service.
If you're only going to browse the web, scroll social media and stream the odd show, a speed of 30-50Mbps should be enough for your home.
But for those with larger households, regular high-quality streaming and lots of working from home, 100Mbps or above may make you more comfortable if the deals available to you aren't priced too differently from slower deals.
Generally speaking, the bigger your home and the more people who want to connect at any given time, the higher the download speed you'll need to cope with the demand.
