Braintree delivers exceptional broadband performance with 92.28% gigabit capable coverage according to Think Broadband, and with a competitive market, you can access deals from our panel of 31 providers with 400+ live options.
Braintree significantly outperforms national averages with 98.9% superfast coverage and 92.28% full fibre availability. The town made history as the first UK location where 5 different gigabit networks compete in the same area, meaning providers fight harder for your business with better speeds, service quality, and value.
With our comprehensive provider panel and deals refreshed daily, you can choose from hundreds of broadband packages with online exclusive offers and gift cards up to £150. Enter your postcode above to discover which offers are available at your address.
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.

Virgin Media currently leads with the fastest speeds in Braintree, offering up to 2000Mbps through their Gig2 service, while Zen and Vodafone compete closely with 1600Mbps full fibre packages.

The “best” provider depends entirely on your specific requirements. Heavy streamers and gamers benefit from Virgin’s 2000Mbps service, while families typically find 1600Mbps packages from Zen or Vodafone more than sufficient. Budget conscious users might prefer slower tiers that still deliver excellent performance.
Speed requirements vary dramatically, streaming 4K content needs around 25Mbps, while basic browsing requires just 10Mbps. Contract flexibility, customer service quality, and price stability during contract periods often matter more than headline speeds for most households.
