You can compare and switch with fewer restrictions. Check notice periods if you are still in term. Contract end checklist
Budget and total cost
Compare total cost over the contract, not just month one. Watch for setup fees and price rise terms. Broadband price rises
Speed needs
Basic use and HD streaming can work on lower tiers. Larger households and 4K may need faster packages. What speed do I need

14-day cooling-off period
When you order broadband online or by phone, you usually have 14 days from the day after you sign to cancel without giving a reason and get a refund. This applies to distance contracts in the UK. If the provider has already started the service with your agreement within that period, you may be charged for what you have used. Check the provider’s terms before you confirm.
How the postcode checker works
You enter your postcode and select your address from the list. Our comparison partner looks up which broadband networks and products are available at your property. Different buildings in the same postcode can see different results because of cabinet distance, fibre rollout, or building access.
- Enter your UK postcode above.
- Select your address so results match your property.
- View deals and typical prices; confirm final price and terms on the provider's site before you order.
Availability and pricing vary by postcode and address. See Coverage and methodology and Broadband deals for more.
What happens after you switch?
Most UK residential switches use One Touch Switch: the new provider notifies your current one. Steps below are typical; your provider will confirm exact timings.
- Order confirmed — You receive confirmation from the new provider with your switch date and any next steps.
- Equipment — A router may be sent by post or provided at an engineer appointment, depending on the network.
- Switch day — Your service moves to the new provider. With One Touch Switch, the old provider is notified and your previous service stops.
- Go live — Plug in the new router (if provided) and follow any activation steps.
- Confirm and keep records — Keep your confirmation email and reference numbers. If you have issues, contact the new provider; see How to complain and Switch broadband.
Broadband types explained
FTTP (full fibre)
Fibre runs all the way to your home. Usually supports the highest speeds and reliability where available. See What is full fibre.
FTTC (fibre to the cabinet)
Fibre to the street cabinet, then copper to your home. Speeds depend on distance. See FTTP vs FTTC.
Cable
In UK broadband, cable means a network using coaxial or hybrid cable to the home (e.g. Virgin Media). Availability is address-specific; check with your postcode.
Mobile (4G/5G)
Broadband via the mobile network. Useful where fixed line options are limited. See 4G broadband.
Satellite
For very remote locations. Higher latency than fixed broadband; typically used when other options are not available.
ADSL
Older copper-only lines. ADSL is being phased out in the UK as full fibre and FTTC expand. Speeds are lower; check what is available at your address.

Providers use your postcode and full address to look up which networks and products they can offer at your property. Different streets or buildings in the same postcode can see different results because of cabinet distance, fibre rollout, or building access. Always use the checker with your full address to see accurate availability and pricing.
Average speed is the typical download speed you can expect, often lower than the advertised "up to" speed. It is influenced by network type, distance from the cabinet (for copper lines), and peak-time congestion. Check the provider’s speed guarantee and any compensation scheme if you consistently get below the stated average.
Yes. In the UK you usually have 14 days from the day after you sign the contract to cancel without reason and get a refund. This applies to distance sales (e.g. ordering online). If the provider has already started the service with your agreement within that period, you may be charged for what you have used. Check the provider’s terms before you confirm.
We may earn a commission if you switch to a provider via a link on our site. This does not change the price you pay. We rank and present deals using our methodology and do not sell placement. See How we make money for full details.
One Touch Switch (OTS) is a simplified broadband switching process introduced by Ofcom that lets you change provider without contacting your current supplier. You place an order with the new provider and they handle the notification and cancellation with your old provider, with a switch date agreed in advance. It applies to most residential broadband and landline providers in the UK and you can learn more in our One Touch Switch guide.
Social tariffs are low-cost broadband packages for households on benefits such as Universal Credit or Pension Credit. They are often listed separately from standard comparison results, so check our Social Tariffs page for eligibility and availability. You will usually need to confirm benefit status during sign-up.
Yes, many providers include annual price rises in their terms, often linked to CPI or RPI with an additional percentage. Some providers offer fixed price promises, so always check the terms before you switch.
Standard broadband contracts are commonly 12, 18, or 24 months, with some 30-day rolling options. Longer terms can be cheaper per month, but they lock you in for longer.
Exit fees (early termination charges) are applied if you cancel before the minimum term ends. They are usually based on remaining months, and some new providers offer buyout credits. Check your contract end date and our exit fees guide.
The right speed depends on household size and usage. Basic browsing and HD streaming can work on lower tiers, while larger households and 4K streaming often need faster packages. See our speed guidance.
No. Broadband speed is the line to your router; Wi-Fi speed is what devices receive and can drop with distance, walls, and interference. A mesh system or better placement can help. See Wi-Fi guidance.
Installation time varies by network and property. Switching between similar networks may be remote, while new full fibre installs can need an engineer appointment and more lead time.
FTTC uses fibre to the cabinet and copper to your home, while FTTP uses fibre all the way. FTTP usually supports higher speeds and reliability where available. See FTTP vs FTTC.
With One Touch Switch, downtime is usually minimal and often on the same day. If you move between different networks, you may have overlapping services until you cancel the old one.
