What to consider when choosing broadband
Speed requirements
Ofcom recommends at least 10 Mbps per person for standard use. A household of four streaming HD content simultaneously will need at least 40-50 Mbps. For 4K streaming, gaming and video calls, consider 100 Mbps or higher.
Contract length
Most broadband contracts run for 18 or 24 months. Longer contracts often come with lower monthly prices but less flexibility. If you might move soon, consider a shorter contract or rolling monthly option.
Setup costs
Some providers charge a one-off setup or activation fee (typically £0-£30). FTTP installations may involve an engineer visit. Many providers waive setup fees during promotional periods.
Mid-contract price rises
Most UK providers apply annual price increases (often CPI + 3.9%). Since April 2024, Ofcom requires providers to show the total contract cost including rises. Check the full-term cost, not just the headline price.
Broadband FAQs
For general browsing and streaming on one or two devices, standard ADSL (10-11 Mbps) is sufficient. For households with multiple users streaming HD or 4K content, fibre broadband (36-80 Mbps) is recommended. For heavy usage, gaming, or large households, full fibre (100-1,000 Mbps) provides the best experience.
Under Ofcom's One Touch Switch process, switching broadband typically takes around 10-14 working days. Your new provider handles the entire process, and you don't need to contact your old provider to cancel. There should be minimal disruption to your service.
In most cases, the gap in service is minimal — often just a few hours on the switchover day. If you're moving from one Openreach-based provider to another, the transition is usually seamless. Switches involving a change of network (e.g., to Virgin Media's cable network) may require an engineer visit.
Yes, in most cases you can keep your existing landline number when switching broadband providers. Your new provider will arrange the number transfer as part of the switching process. This applies to most Openreach-based providers.
If you're still within your minimum contract term, your current provider may charge an early termination fee — typically the remaining months multiplied by your monthly cost. If your contract has ended and you're out of contract, you can switch without any penalty. Always check your contract end date before switching.
