Pick a provider and order online. Your new provider usually handles the switch for you.
There's a huge choice of broadband, phone and TV packages. These are the things that matter most.
If your household streams in HD or 4K, games online or downloads large files, fibre or full fibre will cope far better than older copper broadband. For light browsing and email, a basic package is often plenty.
Most home broadband now comes with unlimited data, which we'd recommend for any busy household. If you choose a capped plan, check the charges for going over the limit.
What you can get depends on your address, which is why we ask for your postcode. We don't store it. In very rural areas, 4G/5G home broadband or satellite may be the best option.
Look past the headline monthly price. Check setup fees, the contract length and any price rises, which providers must now show in pounds and pence before you sign up.
The type of connection makes the biggest difference to speed and reliability.
Uses copper phone lines all the way to your home. Widely available, but the slowest option and being phased out as the UK moves to fibre.
Fibre optic cable runs to the street cabinet, then copper covers the last stretch to your home. Speed depends on how far you are from the cabinet.
Fibre all the way into your home, so it's the fastest and most reliable option. Ofcom reports it's now available to around 82% of UK homes.
A rough guide to download speeds. Allow more if several people are online at once.
| What you do online | Suggested speed |
|---|---|
| Email and everyday browsing | 1–5 Mbps |
| Streaming in HD | 8–16 Mbps |
| 4K streaming and online gaming | 40–100 Mbps |
| Busy households with heavy use on many devices | 200 Mbps+ |
Answers to the questions we're asked most about switching broadband.
Usually not. For most home broadband switches your new provider arranges everything, including ending your old service. Check whether you're still in a minimum term with your current provider, as early exit fees may apply.
Routers usually arrive a few days before your broadband goes live, and most fit through the letterbox.
You'll be given an estimated go-live date when you order, followed by a letter or email confirming the exact date.
Only if an engineer needs to visit, in which case someone over 18 should be in. Many switches are done remotely with no visit needed.
Most providers will let you change package, but it depends on your contract. Changing mid-term can mean losing a new-customer offer, so it may be worth waiting until the promotional period ends.
Since January 2025, Ofcom requires any price rises in new contracts to be set out in pounds and pence when you sign up. If your provider raises prices in a way that wasn't made clear at the start, you can usually leave without paying an exit fee.
Download speed affects browsing, streaming and downloading, and it's the figure providers usually advertise. Upload speed matters for video calls, sending large files, cloud backups and posting videos. If you use Dropbox, Google Drive or work from home a lot, look for upload speeds of 20 Mbps or more.
