What types of broadband package are there?

The right package depends on how you use the internet at home. We have something for every household's needs and budget.

Broadband only

Stream through apps and make calls on your mobile? Broadband on its own is the simplest choice. Deals on our panel start at £14 a month, and the typical deal costs £30.

Broadband and phone

For homes that still use a landline. Landlines are moving off the old copper network, so calls now run through your broadband connection. 13 deals on our panel include a phone line, typically £32.99 a month.

Broadband and TV

One bill and one box for live TV, sport or entertainment packs. We list 73 TV bundles, typically £50.99 a month. Some include streaming subscriptions: 53 come with Netflix, 15 with Disney+ and 21 with HBO Max.

Short-contract and no-contract broadband

Renting, or moving soon? 59 deals last 12 months and 20 deals run on a rolling monthly contract. A 12-month deal typically costs the same as a 24-month one (£30 a month). Rolling monthly broadband deals cost more, around £39.

Broadband with mobile perks

Some providers add extras for their own mobile customers, such as bonus data. 30 deals on our panel mention a mobile perk. Check it applies to your network before you choose.

Social tariffs

Cheaper broadband for households on Universal Credit and some other benefits. The 8 social tariffs we list cost £12.50 to £20 a month. Ofcom found that 70% of households who qualify don't know they exist.

Compare broadband in three easy steps

  1. Step 1: Enter your postcode

    Pick your address and, if you like, your current provider. We'll show the deals your home can get and hide your current provider's, so you see the alternatives.

  2. Step 2: Sort and compare

    Sort by Effective Monthly Cost, speed or contract length. Line up to three deals side by side before you decide.

  3. Step 3: Get your deal

    Finish your order on the provider's website. Your new provider arranges the switch, so there's no need to call your old one.

What are the different types of broadband?

What you can get depends on which networks reach your address. Here's how the main types compare.

Full fibre (FTTP)

Fibre runs all the way to your home, so speed doesn't fade with distance. Deals on our panel range from 35Mb to 7,000Mb. It reaches about six in seven UK homes and businesses (85.85%, ThinkBroadband, 25 September 2026).

Part fibre (FTTC)

Fibre runs to the cabinet in your street, and copper covers the last stretch. The further you live from the cabinet, the slower it gets. Openreach quotes up to 76Mbps download and 15Mbps upload.

Cable

Virgin Media's network, with fibre to the street and cable into your home. Deals on our panel run from 132Mb to 1,130Mb. It reaches 57.24% of UK homes and businesses (ThinkBroadband, 25 September 2026).

5G home broadband

A router that picks up a 5G mobile signal, so there's no engineer visit or phone line. Advertised average speeds on our panel run from 50Mb to 200Mb, depending on signal. Deals come from Quickline, Three and Vodafone.

ADSL

The oldest type, running entirely over the copper phone line. The ADSL deals we list today average 11Mb. The copper phone network is being switched off, with every line due to go digital by 31 January 2027.

How much does broadband cost in the UK?

The typical broadband-only deal costs £30 a month, across the 368 deals we listed on 28 September 2026.

Faster speeds cost more, but the steps are small. Going from 100Mb to gigabit adds about £8 a month at the typical price.

Typical monthly price by speed, broadband-only deals on our panel, 28 September 2026
SpeedTypical priceCheapestDeals
Under 60Mb£27.50£1824
60 to 100Mb£25£2036
100 to 300Mb£28£1498
300 to 900Mb£32.99£1697
900Mb and up£36£19113

Typical price is the median of broadband-only deals on our panel, 28 September 2026. The under 60Mb group is small and includes older copper and mobile broadband deals, which is why it can cost more than the next band.

Out of contract? Ofcom found that customers in contract pay £7 to £9 a month less than those out of contract, which is £84 to £108 a year. It also found 28% of broadband customers are out of contract (Ofcom, February 2026).

What should you think about before choosing a deal?

Which deals you can get depends on the networks at your address, and neighbours on the same street can differ. Full fibre now reaches about six in seven UK homes and businesses, according to ThinkBroadband. Speeds of 30Mb or more reach 98.58%.

What broadband speed do I need?

It depends on how many people are online at once and what they're doing. Ofcom's minimum for a decent connection is 10Mb download and 1Mb upload. Busier homes need a lot more headroom.

Speed: under 100Mb

For one or two people who browse, use social media and stream on one screen at a time.

What can affect your broadband speed?

Wired or wifi

A cable from your router to your device gets the full speed your line delivers. Wifi weakens through walls and floors, and with distance.

Where your router sits

Ofcom suggests putting it on a table or shelf rather than the floor, and keeping it away from other electrical devices, including TVs.

Distance from the cabinet

On part fibre, the copper stretch from the street cabinet slows things down, so homes further away get less speed. Full fibre and cable don't have this problem.

Your devices

An older laptop, phone or smart TV may not keep up with a faster connection, especially over wifi.

Busy times

Speeds can dip in the evening when more people are online. Advertised average speeds are measured at peak time, 8pm to 10pm, so they already allow for this.

How to switch broadband provider

Switching is simpler than it used to be. Since September 2024, One Touch Switch means you only deal with your new provider.

  1. Step 1: Choose your new deal

    Order from your new provider. There's no need to contact your current one.

  2. Step 2: Your new provider arranges it

    They contact your old provider and send you the switching details, including any exit fee, before you confirm.

  3. Step 3: Switch on the agreed day

    Your new service starts and the old one stops on the same day. Ofcom says any loss of service shouldn't last longer than one working day, and your provider must compensate you in some cases if it does.

What our expert says

Claudia Constantin
“Don't choose on the first month's price. Look at what the deal costs across the whole contract, including any rises and the dates they start, and check what it would cost to leave your current deal. If you're out of contract, it's worth ten minutes to compare. Ofcom found out-of-contract customers pay £7 to £9 a month more.”
