How To Choose The Best Broadband Deal In Manchester

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 Manchester 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.

Choosing Your Broadband Technology in Manchester

Manchester residents can access multiple broadband technologies, each offering different speeds, reliability, and pricing. According to Think Broadband’s coverage data, the city benefits from extensive infrastructure across full fibre, cable, and copper networks.

Full Fibre to the Premises (FTTP)

Full fibre delivers dedicated fibre optic cables directly to your property, offering the most reliable speeds.

  • 86.87% of premises have full fibre access
  • 58.85% covered by Openreach FTTP
  • 64.85% by alternative networks (CityFibre, brsk, Hyperoptic)

Typical Speeds: 74Mbps to 2000Mbps with symmetrical uploads, ideal for streaming, gaming, content uploading, and multiple users working from home.

Cable Broadband

Virgin Media’s cable network delivers ultrafast speeds through DOCSIS 3.1 technology using hybrid fibre-coaxial infrastructure.

  • 61.68% of premises served by Virgin Media cable

Typical Speeds: 100Mbps to 1130Mbps, providing reliable performance at competitive pricing with wide availability.

Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC)

FTTC connects fibre to street cabinets with copper cables completing the final connection to your home.

  • 92.48% of premises have access to Openreach FTTC

Typical Speeds: 35Mbps to 67Mbps. While not as fast as full fibre or cable, FTTC remains widely available and offers reliable connectivity for standard browsing and streaming needs.

G.fast Technology

G.fast enhances existing copper connections from street cabinets to deliver faster speeds than standard FTTC.

  • 8.82% of premises in select areas

Typical Speeds: Up to 160Mbps. Bridges the gap between standard FTTC and full fibre where ultrafast infrastructure hasn’t yet reached.

5G Home Broadband

5G home broadband uses mobile networks to deliver wireless connectivity without fixed lines, ideal for properties where traditional broadband installation isn’t practical.

  • Varies by network operator across the city

Typical Speeds: 50Mbps to 150Mbps depending on signal strength and location.

Switching Broadband Providers Has Never Been Easier

Thanks to Ofcom’s One Touch Switch, launched September 2024, over 1.6 million people have already made the move.

What Is One Touch Switch?

One Touch Switch lets you change broadband providers with a single request. Sign up to your new provider and they handle everything, including cancelling your old supplier. No retention calls, no hassle.

How It Works

Complete your order with your new provider using your address and current supplier details. They’ll automatically send you key information like early termination charges, then arrange the switch for your preferred date.

Key Benefits

No double payments, you won’t pay for your old service after the new one starts. If delays happen, providers must compensate you within 30 days. Most switches happen with zero downtime.

Frequently asked questions

Since September 2024, the One Touch Switch process ensures any loss of service during a switch should not exceed one working day, regardless of which networks you’re switching between. Your new provider manages the entire switch and must compensate you if you’re left without service for longer than one working day.

You’ll need to pay early termination charges covering your remaining contract months. Use our early termination fee calculator to get an estimated cost but some providers you switch to may cover these fees. Once outside your minimum term, you can switch with 30 days’ notice and no penalties.

Usually, yes. When your minimum term ends, most providers move you to a higher out of contract price unless you renew or switch. That’s why it’s smart to compare deals and re-contract before your term finishes.

For most customers, broadband installation is free. The majority of providers waive setup fees, especially on full fibre, and many advertise “no upfront costs” as standard.

Charges only tend to apply if:

  • You need a new line installed (e.g. moving into a property without an active connection).
  • You request optional extras, like premium routers or specialist engineer work.

Always check the deal details in our comparison table, but in most cases you won’t pay anything upfront.

BT, Sky, and Virgin Media offer TV bundles that can save money compared to buying broadband and multiple streaming services separately. The value very much depends on your viewing habits, compare bundled pricing in our comparison table to assess if it suits your needs.

Modern full fibre and cable broadband don’t require traditional phone lines. The UK’s copper phone network (PSTN) is being replaced with digital Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) services by January 2027, meaning phone services now run through your broadband connection.

Average speeds are what most customers receive during peak times (8pm-10pm) and must be achievable by at least 50% of users. Maximum speeds represent theoretical top performance under perfect conditions, which you’ll rarely achieve consistently.

Standard installations take 10-14 days, or 2-3 weeks if an engineer visit is needed.
