Ipswich has 91.37% full fibre coverage and 95.12% gigabit capable availability across 67,423 premises according to the latest Think Broadband data. With 99.69% superfast coverage, nearly all local homes and businesses can access speeds of 30 Mbps or faster.
Residents can access services from Openreach, Virgin Media and alternative network providers, with CityFibre’s £30m investment already helping 98% of local homes and businesses access full fibre. The area also benefits from strong Virgin Media cable coverage at 82.24%, giving residents genuine choice between different infrastructure providers for competitive pricing and packages.
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.
Full Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) reaches 91.37% of Ipswich properties, making it the most widely available technology in the town. Openreach covers around 64% of premises, with alternative providers covering the remainder.
Speeds range from 100 Mbps to 2.5 Gbps+ with symmetrical upload and download speeds.
Virgin Media’s cable network reaches 82.24% of Ipswich homes, providing a solid ultrafast broadband option with gigabit speeds available.
Cable performs well for streaming, gaming and everyday use. However, upload speeds are usually lower than full fibre connections.
Nearly all Ipswich residents (97.80%) can access Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC). This uses fibre to your street cabinet, then existing copper wiring for the final connection to your home. Speeds typically range from 30-80 Mbps depending on how far you live from the cabinet.
FTTC works well for everyday needs like streaming HD content, video calls and browsing. It’s a reliable choice for most small households.
Mobile broadband solutions work well in Ipswich for properties that can’t get fixed line services. Speeds vary considerably based on your location and network coverage.
With Ipswich’s strong fixed line coverage, mobile broadband typically serves as either a backup connection or a temporary solution.
Traditional ADSL broadband using phone lines is now only relied upon by 0.24% of Ipswich premises. With speeds limited to 10-24 Mbps, it’s being replaced as full fibre expands.
If ADSL is your only option, you may qualify for support through the Universal Service Obligation scheme to access faster speeds.
Satellite services like Starlink work anywhere in Ipswich, but they’re rarely needed thanks to the town’s excellent fixed-line coverage. They cost significantly more than standard broadband.
Satellite is mainly useful for remote rural areas where traditional broadband options aren’t available.

Infrastructure Investment
Recent infrastructure investments have brought full fibre to over 70,000 homes and businesses – representing 98% coverage across Ipswich. This expansion continues to improve connectivity in both urban and rural areas.
Only 0.1% of premises fall below the 10 Mbps legal Universal Service Obligation threshold, making Ipswich one of the best connected towns in the UK for broadband access.
Alternative network providers (Altnets) operate alongside major broadband companies like BT and Virgin Media, bringing genuine competition to the Ipswich broadband market. These newer providers have built extensive full fibre networks reaching 81.85% of premises, often focusing on areas where traditional providers had limited infrastructure.
Providers like Rise Fibre, 4th Utility, BeeBu and Lit Fibre operate across Ipswich, offering speeds from 150 Mbps up to multi-gigabit packages. These companies typically target residential areas and new developments, with availability depending on your specific postcode.
Altnets are usually smaller, regional providers specialising in bringing gigabit-capable connectivity to previously underserved locations. They complement Openreach’s rollout by offering residents additional choice and often more competitive pricing in areas with multiple network options.
Many Altnets focus on areas where full fibre was previously unavailable or limited, helping to close the digital divide. However, contract terms, pricing, and customer service vary significantly between providers.
Use our postcode checker to see which Altnet providers serve your specific address and compare their packages.

Need a new physical installation, such as a full fibre upgrade? Allow up to six weeks, especially during busy periods. The good news is your new provider handles cancelling your existing service through the One Touch Switch system, keeping any service gaps to a minimum.
Most Ipswich residents pay nothing to £100 for installation, with numerous providers waiving setup fees entirely. The actual cost varies by provider and which package you select. Zero cost setup commonly applies to new contracts or properties with existing suitable connections.
Expect potential charges if you require a new telephone line or need full fibre cabling brought directly to your property. While most providers charge nothing upfront, always check the complete package terms when using our comparison tool above.
