†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.
KCOM provides full fibre broadband to homes and businesses throughout Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. A business with deep-rooted beginnings, KCOM’s pioneering expertise in telecommunications spans over 100 years. In 2019, KCOM began delivering its full fibre network to homes in Yorkshire. It was one of the first providers to offer full fibre broadband (also known as fibre-to-the premises and fibre-to-the-home) in the UK.
In January 2020, KCOM announced its blueprint to bring full fibre broadband to thousands more homes and businesses across Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, as part of a £100 million investment programme.
KCOM channels future-forward solutions. So, by developing the FTTP infrastructure in towns and villages in the region, more homes and businesses can benefit from full fibre connectivity. With full fibre, customers can confidently work online or remotely, opening up greater flexibility for households to be able to change-up their work life balance.
KCOM was one of the first providers to offer full fibre broadband in the UK. Many homes already have a form of fibre broadband, known as fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) and this has worked well over the years. However, fibre cables only go to the street cabinet (shared with neighbours) and don’t reach directly into the home.
The connection from the cabinet relies on old copper telephone wiring to deliver broadband. This can be the reason for buffering, connection drops and other common broadband frustrations, as copper wires are limited in the amount of data that they can transmit to your home.
FTTP is a future-proof solution that presents better connectivity for multiple-device homes which use greater bandwidth often at the same time. Full fibre has stepped up as a next-level solution, delivering average download speeds of 100, 300, 500 and 900Mbps (depending on package selected. These are some of the fastest speeds in the UK.
You can choose from a range of broadband speeds from our hero packages below. All packages are £24.99 a month for the first six months with the standard monthly price applying for the following 12 months. Pricing as follows: 100Mbps (£39.99), 300Mbps (£49.99), 500Mbps (£59.99), 900Mbps (£69.99). £24.99 connection fee applies.
Full fibre 100 | upload speed 100Mbps/ Download 30Mbps: A standard connection ideal for HD streaming and sharing large files on a superfast speed. Full fibre 300 | upload speed 300 / Download 75Mbps Our most popular package for all gamers, Netflix bingers and homeworkers.

For Cyber Monday 2021, KCOM has lowered the monthly price of its Full Fibre 175 and Full Fibre 300 broadband packages until Sunday 12th December.
This means that if KCOM is available at your property, you'll be able to enjoy ultrafast internet speeds from just £24.99 per month, which is cheaper than Virgin Media's equivalent broadband packages.
KCOM’s broadband ‘Lighthub’ routers are provided to all full fibre customers, offering homes and businesses faster speeds, greater coverage, a more reliable connection and optimised quality of service. And that’s even when there are several devices connected at the same time.
