*The "average" speed displayed in Mb represents the speed available to 50% of customers with this product during peak time (between 8pm and 10pm). The actual speed you will get depends on your cabling, your area and (with non-fibre optic products) time of day and how far you are from the telephone exchange. Most providers will tell you the likely speed you will receive when you begin your online sign up — this may differ from the average speed displayed on our table.
The deals available at your postcode are subject to local availability. The provider will confirm availability for your line.
We aim to take the strain out of broadband comparison. Good broadband deals aren't just about the price, it's also about what's included in the product, the speeds offered and any extra incentives providers are offering. To balance all of these, we have developed a ranking formula that takes into account deals that are proving to be popular with our customers, that are competitive in the market and have a smooth buying process.
If you prefer, you can sort deals by monthly cost, speed or contract length. You can also choose to show costs as monthly or full contract, which lets you see the total spend over the contract period, including any setup costs.
Uswitch services are provided at no cost to you, but we may receive a commission from the companies we refer you to.

When choosing a broadband provider in London, there are a range of factors to consider.
As well as the price, you should think about what you'll be doing online and the speed you'll need to access these effectively. It's also important to think about what additional Wi-Fi options are available (such as extenders) to ensure you can get connected anywhere in your home.
What is the fastest broadband in London?
There are a range of speeds on offer for people living in London. The fastest widely available speeds are from Virgin Media, which offers packages of up to 1.1Gbps through its dedicated cable network. But Community Fibre, which is only available to some areas of London, offers up to 3Gbps connections at the moment.

What broadband speed do I need?
Not everyone will need the fastest available speeds. Instead, what defines a good broadband speed will depend on what you intend to use your connection for. For everyday web browsing and occasional streaming in standard definition, a speed of 1.5Mbps should be adequate, while Netflix recommends a minimum speed of 3Mbps for standard streaming and 5Mbps for HD.
If you want to stream smoothly in 4K ultra high-definition, however, you'll need a minimum speed of 24Mbps. For gaming, console makers suggest a minimum of around 3Mbps to play online — though if you want to download the latest title direct to your home, you'll need a much faster connection, with a fibre service recommended to ensure these large downloads can be completed as quickly as possible.
It's also important to note that the more people you have in your home using the internet at once, the higher the speed you'll need. So a home where only a couple of devices will be running can cope with a much slower speed than one where multiple gadgets will be competing for the available bandwidth.
