How To Choose The Best Broadband Deal In Northern Ireland

Best on a Budget

Don’t overpay for reliable internet. Compare prices across all speed tiers, sometimes faster packages cost less due to promotions. Look for student discounts or social tariffs if eligible.

Don't Assume Faster Costs More

Faster speeds don’t always mean higher prices. Providers often discount higher speed packages to win customers. Compare actual monthly costs rather than assuming slower speeds save money.

Location Matters

Rural areas have different options than city centres. Use our postcode checker to see what’s actually available at your Northern Ireland address and compare real speeds in your area.

Watch Hidden Costs

Setup fees, router charges, and mid contract price rises add hundreds to your bill. We show all costs upfront so you know exactly what you’ll pay.

Switch & Plant Trees

Every switch through Switchity plants a tree at no extra cost. Save money, get better broadband, help the environment.

In Contract? Calculate Before You Switch

Check your early termination fee first – some new providers will pay it for you. Or try haggling with your current provider’s retention team. Use our ETF calculator to see if switching saves money overall.
