Broadband providers

Compare broadband from leading UK providers

These are the providers on the panel our comparison partner searches when you enter a postcode. Each name opens that provider’s own page.

Checked 7 Sep 2026 against our comparison partner’s own list. Being on the panel is not a statement about your address: which of them can actually sell to your building is exactly what the postcode check is for.

What are you here to do?

Most people arrive on a broadband page for one of three reasons, and they need different things first. Pick the one that sounds like you.

01 · Ready to move

Compare deals

Start with your postcode and see what is actually sold to your building, with the whole cost of the contract beside the monthly price.

02 · Working it out

What can I actually get?

Full fibre, part fibre, cable and mobile broadband are different products with different limits. What reaches your building decides which of them you can buy.

03 · Undecided

What will it really cost?

The advertised figure is one line of a two-year agreement. Here is everything else the contract contains, and which parts move.

Availability

What reaches your address

A broadband package may simply not be sold to your building. These are the four kinds of connection, and why the difference is physical.

Full fibreFTTP, fibre to the premises
100Mb to 1,000Mb+

Fibre runs the whole way into the building. Upload speeds are usually much closer to download speeds than on anything older, which is what matters for video calls and backups. It does not need a phone line.

Part fibreFTTC, fibre to the cabinet
Around 30Mb to 70Mb

Fibre reaches the street cabinet and copper covers the last stretch to the building. That last stretch is why two houses on the same street can get different speeds: distance from the cabinet decides it.

CableCoaxial part-fibre networks
Around 50Mb to 1,000Mb+

A separate network built on coaxial cable rather than the Openreach line. Fast downloads, usually slower uploads than full fibre, and available only where that network was built.

Mobile broadband4G and 5G home broadband
Varies with signal

A router that uses a mobile network rather than a fixed line. Worth knowing about where fixed options are poor or where a short contract matters more than peak speed. Performance depends on the signal at the address.

These ranges are what each technology can do, not a measurement of any particular line. Only an address check answers what is actually sold to your building.

Speed

What speed do you actually need?

Most households buy more speed than they use. What matters is how many things happen at once, not how fast one page loads.

One or two people, mostly browsing50 to 100MbEmail, shopping, a streaming service in the evening. Almost any current connection covers this, so buying more speed is buying headroom you may not use.
A busy household on several devices100 to 300MbWhere most households land. The number that matters is how many things happen at once, not how fast one page loads.
Working from home, big uploadsCheck the upload speedVideo calls and sending large files use the upload direction, which is the number providers advertise least. On part fibre it is often a small fraction of the download speed.
Heavy streaming, gaming, a full house300Mb and upSeveral 4K streams, large game downloads and everyone home at once. Worth checking whether the limit is the line or the wifi inside the house before paying for more.

Ranges, not a recommendation. Nobody can honestly turn a household into a number from four answers, so we are not going to pretend otherwise. If everything already works at peak time, more speed changes very little.

The real cost

What a broadband deal really costs

Broadband is sold on one number and bought as a two-year agreement. Four things decide what it costs, and only one of them is on the advert.

The monthly priceSetup and upfront chargesAny stated price riseWhat the contract costs
Stated riseA new price on a stated date goes into the sum.
Formula riseA rise tied to inflation does not. We show the provider’s own wording and calculate nothing.
RewardsVouchers and cashback are listed separately, never subtracted from what you pay.
Unstated feesA charge the provider did not state is unknown, not free.
The headlineWhat is advertised
  • One monthly figure, usually the introductory one
  • A speed described as an average rather than a guarantee
  • A contract length in smaller type beside it
The contractWhat you sign
  • Setup, activation and delivery charges, which may be stated separately or not at all
  • The price after any introductory period ends
  • A mid-contract rise clause, often expressed as a formula rather than a figure
  • The out-of-contract price you roll onto if you do nothing
  • An early exit charge if you leave before the term is up

That total divided by the term is the figure worth comparing between two deals, and it is often not the one on the advert.

We are not going to tell you which deal to take.

The lowest total, the fastest line and the shortest term are rarely the same product, and which matters depends on things we do not know about you. We will show all three honestly and let the choice be yours.

It starts with your postcode, because availability is the first question and everything else follows from it.

Bundles

Broadband and TV together

A bundle is two purchases on one bill. It is worth buying when you would have bought both anyway, and worth checking when you would not.

Worth asking
  • What the broadband costs on its own from the same provider
  • Which channels or apps are actually included, and for how long
  • Whether the TV part has its own minimum term
  • Whether a set-top box carries a separate charge
  • What happens to the TV price when the broadband deal ends
Worth knowing
  • Included streaming is often a fixed-length trial, not the whole term
  • The discount applies to the package, so dropping TV rarely leaves the broadband at the bundled price
  • Sport and film add-ons are priced monthly on top

The comparison can be narrowed to packages that include TV, so you see both costs rather than one combined figure: compare broadband and TV bundles.

Switching

How switching broadband works

Under One Touch Switch the provider you are moving to arranges the whole changeover, including telling the one you are leaving. You do not have to call to cancel.

01
Check the address, not the area

Availability is decided building by building. A postcode narrows it down; the address answers it.

02
Find your current end date

Leaving before the term ends usually means paying the remaining months. In the final month it normally costs nothing.

03
Order from the new provider

Under One Touch Switch the new provider handles the changeover, including telling the old one. You do not need to call to cancel.

04
The changeover date

On the same network it is usually a matter of minutes. Moving between networks can mean a short gap and an engineer visit.

What changes
  • Who bills you, and what you pay each month
  • The router, on most switches between providers
  • Any TV or phone service bundled with the old contract
  • Your email address, if it was tied to the old provider
What stays the same
  • Your phone number, if you ask for it to move
  • The physical line into the building, on most same-network switches
  • Your right to leave penalty-free if the price rises beyond what the contract allowed
In plain English

The words that matter

Six terms that decide what a broadband contract costs and what you are entitled to. Most of them appear in the small print rather than the headline.

Average speedThe speed at least half of that provider's customers get at peak time. It is not what you are guaranteed, and it is not what you will necessarily get.
Guaranteed minimum speedThe floor the provider commits to. If your line falls below it and they cannot fix it, you can usually leave without a charge.
Upload speedHow fast data leaves your house. It decides video calls, backups and sending large files, and it is where full fibre and part fibre differ most.
Mid-contract riseA clause allowing the price to go up during the term, usually each spring. Some are a stated pounds-and-pence figure; others are a formula tied to inflation.
Out-of-contract priceWhat you pay once the term ends and you do nothing. It is usually higher than anything a new customer is offered, and it is the most expensive habit in this category.
Setup feeA one-off charge for activation, delivery or an engineer. It belongs in the total cost of the contract, not in a footnote under the monthly price.
Our method

How MoneyHQ compares broadband

The deals on this page come from our comparison partner’s panel. These are the rules the comparison has to satisfy, and you can hold us to them.

Availability before price

A deal you cannot buy is not a deal. Nothing is presented as available at your address unless the provider says so at that address, and where they can only answer by postcode we will say that instead.

The whole contract, not the headline

Where a provider states an introductory price, a later price and the one-off charges, we will show what the whole term costs, not just the monthly figure.

A rise is shown as the provider words it

A rise stated as a price on a date can be added up. A rise written as an inflation formula cannot, so we will show the provider's wording and calculate nothing.

Unknown stays unknown

If a provider does not state a setup fee, we will not print it as free. An absence and a zero are different things, and over two years the difference is money.

MoneyHQ is not a broadband provider, a network or a reseller. We say plainly whose results you are seeing and whether that is the whole market or a panel: it is a panel, and the providers on it are listed further up this page. Read how we make money.

MoneyHQ’s position

The most expensive thing in broadband is not choosing the wrong deal. It is staying on a contract that ended, at a price no new customer is ever offered. Whatever else this page does, it should get you to check your end date.
