How To Choose The Best Broadband Deal In Cardiff

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 Cardiff 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.

Which broadband providers are available in Cardiff?

Cardiff residents have access to most major UK broadband providers, with strong infrastructure coverage across the city ensuring wide availability.

Available Providers in Cardiff

Is CityFibre available in Cardiff?

No, CityFibre does not operate a network in Cardiff. Instead, several alternative networks provide full fibre infrastructure across the city.

Alternative Fibre Networks in Cardiff

Elevate (formerly Telcom) has completed a £7 million “Hypercity” network, providing ultrafast full fibre services to thousands of Cardiff businesses and residential properties. Ogi, a Welsh ISP, is building its own full fibre network in the city with speeds up to 10Gbps. Netomnia works with partners like Flotek to expand its network infrastructure across Cardiff areas.

Established Networks

Openreach operates the most extensive network, actively rolling out full fibre across Cardiff to complement existing FTTC services. Virgin Media provides its cable network covering much of Cardiff, offering speeds up to 1130Mbps through hybrid fibre coaxial technology, with up to 2000Mbps available in select areas through their full fibre network.

Network Competition Benefits

Multiple competing networks mean Cardiff residents often have choice between different infrastructure providers, leading to competitive pricing and service options. Each network partners with various internet service providers, giving consumers multiple ways to access the same underlying infrastructure.

This network diversity contributes to Cardiff’s 88.14% full fibre coverage and 95.88% gigabit capable availability across the city.

Cardiff vs other Welsh areas

Cardiff significantly outperforms most Welsh locations for broadband coverage and choice, with all Cardiff constituencies achieving 98-99%+ superfast coverage compared to the 96% Wales average.

Full fibre availability varies across Cardiff but consistently beats the Welsh average of 68%. Cardiff North and Cardiff South & Penarth lead with 84% coverage, while Cardiff East and Cardiff West achieve 71%, all well above typical Welsh average.

Only a handful of Welsh areas match Cardiff’s performance. Alyn & Deeside at 92% full fibre, Bridgend reaches 91%, while rural constituencies like Brecon, Radnor & Cwm Tawe manage just 41% full fibre coverage.

Cardiff’s urban density and concentrated infrastructure investment mean residents enjoy more provider choice and faster speeds than most other Welsh locations. The Ofcom Connected Nations Wales Report 2024 positions Cardiff among Wales’ best connected areas for broadband services.
