†If you shared information on how much you pay for your broadband, your results will highlight deals with an annual saving of £5 or more. Annual savings show what you could save in the first 12 months. Your savings are the difference between the annual cost you entered for your current deal and the deal you could switch to. The annual savings amount does not include:*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.
Until recently, broadband providers were able to lure potential customers with offers of 'free broadband' — without mentioning that this was for a limited time only or that customers would still have to pay line rental or other hidden costs.
Following a study that showed most consumers couldn't work out what their monthly broadband contract would actually cost, the ASA ruled that broadband providers must instead show 'all-in pricing' when displaying their contract prices, meaning that consumers need to be shown their monthly cost inclusive of any additional fees.
When talking about 'free broadband', it shouldn't come as a surprise that a good deal of scepticism as to how free it really was existed among some consumer groups and industry experts.
The hook used to be that 'free broadband' was only free when you sign up for other services such as home phone or TV, and even then, it was only free for the initial period of a contract, and consumers were still responsible for paying line rental charges, which clearly led to confusion.
TalkTalk spearheaded the move to free broadband with its international calling packages, which combined free broadband with competitive landline deals. Even prior to the ASA ruling, TalkTalk moved away from its 'free broadband' messaging as it led to a lot of confusion and frustration among their customers.
Similarly, broadband providers have moved away from 'free line rental' deals as, again, all pricing must be inclusive of all monthly costs.
Although the phrase 'free broadband' has gone extinct, that doesn't mean the deals have. Most of the prices of the above packages are identical to those previously offered as 'free broadband'; it's just that now, you can find out the entire cost without any hidden or additional fees.

Free gifts with broadband — such as laptops, netbooks and MP3 players — were commonplace not too long ago. However, they have since become much less available and have been replaced by other types of broadband and free gift deals.
That's not to say that free gifts with your broadband have totally disappeared. BT, TalkTalk, Virgin Media and Sky all give away free set-top boxes with their TV bundles, and many broadband providers also include free wireless routers on their top-tier packages.
Meanwhile, many providers periodically include free vouchers for Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's when you sign up.
