Finding Broadband Deals in Cornwall

Cornwall has multiple providers offering broadband deals across different technologies. Our comparison table above shows available packages once you enter your postcode, including contract lengths, speeds, and any introductory offers like bill credit or gift cards.

Coverage varies significantly across Cornwall due to its rural geography. Urban areas like Truro and Newquay typically have more provider options and full fibre availability, while remote locations may have fewer choices. Around 96.78% of Cornwall premises can access superfast speeds, though the specific technologies and providers available depend on your exact location.

You save, I grow a forest (slowly)!

How To Choose The Best Broadband Deal In Cornwall

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 Cornwall 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.

Broadband Technology Types in Cornwall

Cornwall residents can access several broadband technologies with different speeds and availability. Your available options will depend on location.

Full Fibre to the premises (FTTP)

Fibre optic cables run directly to your property, offering 100 Mbps to 1 Gbps+. Available to 69.65% of Cornwall premises with 38% of connections using it.

The most reliable option and designed to handle increasing speed demands.

Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC)

Delivers 30-80 Mbps using fibre to street cabinets and copper to homes. This is Cornwall’s most common technology at 45.7% of connections.

Handles most household activities including HD streaming.

Cable Broadband

Virgin Media cable reaches 2.05% of Cornwall premises in larger towns.

Can deliver gigabit speeds but has limited coverage.

Mobile and Wireless

Provides alternatives in areas with limited fixed line options. Speeds vary based on signal strength and network congestion.

ADSL

Uses copper phone lines delivering 10-24 Mbps. Widely available but 16.3% of Cornwall still uses this older technology.

Suitable for basic browsing but struggles with multiple users or streaming.

Satellite Broadband

Provides coverage in hard to reach rural areas where fibre or 4G is unavailable. Providers like Starlink and AvonlineBroadband offer high speed services, though costs are typically higher than fixed line options.

Higher latency can affect real time activities like online gaming and video calls.

Broadband Coverage in Cornwall

Cornwall has 312,390 premises with broadband access. According to ThinkBroadband data, 96.78% can access superfast speeds (30 Mbps or above), while 69.65% have full-fibre availability. However, coverage varies significantly between urban centres and rural areas, with around 0.88% of premises still receiving speeds below 10 Mbps.

The technology split shows Openreach provides FTTP to 60.65% of premises, alternative network providers cover 14.64%, and Virgin Media cable reaches 2.05% of the region. Speed test data indicates 38% of active connections use full-fibre, 45.7% use fibre-to-the-cabinet, and 16.3% still rely on ADSL.

The government’s Project Gigabit scheme is expanding coverage to hard-to-reach areas. In April 2024, Wildanet was awarded a £41.2 million contract to connect approximately 16,800 premises across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, with the first properties expected to come online during 2025.
For detailed coverage statistics, see ThinkBroadband’s Cornwall broadband data. Information about government infrastructure projects is available on the Project Gigabit Cornwall page.

Alternative Network Providers in Cornwall

Alternative network providers (Altnets) operate alongside major broadband companies like BT and Virgin Media. In Cornwall, Altnets provide full-fibre coverage to 14.64% of premises, focusing primarily on areas where traditional providers have limited infrastructure.

Altnets are typically smaller, regional providers building new full-fibre networks. Examples serving parts of Cornwall include Wildanet, which holds a government Project Gigabit contract to connect around 16,800 premises by 2025.

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 the postcode checker above to see which serve your address.

Is CityFibre Available in Cornwall?

CityFibre infrastructure is available in limited areas of Cornwall. The network provider builds full-fibre infrastructure that multiple retail broadband providers use to offer services, including Vodafone, 4th Utility, 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 Cornwall 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 Gps+. Installation sometimes requires a new fibre connection to your property, which retail providers arrange as part of the sign-up process.

Frequently asked questions

Check availability at your new Cornwall address using the postcode checker above at least 2-3 weeks before moving. If your current provider doesn’t serve the area, compare available options and place your order 2 weeks in advance to avoid gaps in service. Installation times vary by provider and technology type.

According to Think Broadband data, 69.65% of Cornwall premises can access full fibre to the premises (FTTP) broadband, though actual take up is lower at 38% of connections. Coverage is higher in towns and lower in rural areas. The government’s Project Gigabit scheme is working to expand coverage to harder to reach locations.

96.78% of Cornwall premises can access superfast speeds of 30 Mbps or above, though 0.88% still receive speeds below 10 Mbps. Rural areas with limited fixed line options may be eligible for satellite broadband or the government’s Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme, which provides funding to help connect premises in rural areas with slow speeds. Check eligibility at the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme.

Project Gigabit awarded Wildanet a £41.2 million contract in April 2024 to provide gigabit capable broadband to around 16,800 hard to reach premises across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. The first properties are expected to be connected during 2025.

Cornwall is classified as Rural-80, meaning it has a mix of urban and rural areas. Infrastructure deployment focuses on population density, so towns have more provider options and better technology while remote areas may have limited choices. Ongoing government schemes are addressing these gaps.
