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

Lichfield has comprehensive broadband infrastructure with the majority of premises able to access superfast speeds. According to available data, most areas can access speeds of 30 Mbps or above, with strong full fibre availability continuing to expand. However, coverage varies between the city centre and surrounding rural villages, with some outlying areas still receiving lower speeds.
The technology mix shows Openreach provides the largest coverage through its FTTP network, with alternative providers including Virgin Media cable in select areas. Speed test data indicates a growing proportion of connections use full fibre technology, though fibre to the cabinet and some ADSL connections remain in parts of the district.
The government’s Project Gigabit scheme is expanding coverage to hard to reach areas across Staffordshire. Recent rollout by Openreach through Project Gigabit is bringing gigabit capable broadband to rural communities including Elford, with properties coming online throughout 2024 and 2025. The scheme is supported by Staffordshire County Council through its local broadband programme.
For detailed coverage information, check availability using our postcode checker above.
Alternative network providers (Altnets) operate alongside major broadband companies like BT and Virgin Media. In Lichfield, Altnets are building new full fibre networks, focusing primarily on areas where traditional providers have limited infrastructure.
Altnets are typically smaller, regional providers bringing gigabit capable connectivity to previously underserved locations. Openreach’s Project Gigabit rollout is connecting rural parts of the Lichfield district, including villages like Elford where homes are gaining access to ultra fast broadband for the first time.
These providers often target rural and hard to reach areas where full-fibre was previously unavailable. Contract terms, pricing and customer service vary between Altnet providers, so compare specific packages using our postcode checker to see which serve your address.
CityFibre infrastructure is available in Lichfield. The network provider builds full fibre infrastructure that multiple retail broadband providers use to offer services, including Sky, Vodafone, 4th Utility, Lit Fibre, Rise Fibre, Cuckoo and Zen Internet.
CityFibre does not sell broadband directly to consumers. Instead, you choose a retail provider that operates on the CityFibre network. Pricing, contract terms, and customer service vary between these providers.
Coverage in Lichfield is not universal. Use the postcode checker above to see if CityFibre infrastructure is available at your address and which retail providers offer packages on their network.
Where CityFibre is available, speeds typically range from 150 Mbps to 1 Gbps+. Installation sometimes requires a new fibre connection to your property, which retail providers arrange as part of the sign up process.

Switching broadband in Lichfield usually takes around two weeks, though it can be faster or longer depending on your situation. If you’re switching between providers on the same network like Openreach, it’s often quicker and may not need an engineer visit. However, if installation is required, such as upgrading to full fibre broadband, the process can take up to six weeks, especially if the new provider is busy. Your new provider handles the cancellation of your old contract through the One Touch Switch process, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Lichfield residents can expect to pay anywhere from £0 to £100 for broadband installation, though many providers offer free installation. Costs vary by provider and package, with free setup often available when taking out a new contract or if you already have a suitable line. Charges can increase if you need a new phone line installed or your property requires a full fibre (FTTP) connection directly from the network. Most deals have a £0 setup fee, but check the specific package details when comparing deals above.
