Compare broadband deals: here are our top picks

Before taking out a deal, read the terms and conditions and find out about any mid-contract price rises. Some deals come with incentives which aren’t around forever, so if you want to take advantage of rewards like gift cards and vouchers, check when you have to act by and read all the terms of the deal.

Best cheap broadband deal overall – NOW TV, Now Full Fibre 75

• Price: £24 a month
• Length: 24 months
• Set-up cost: £0

NOW TV is operated by Sky, so this contract should be widely available. This is a good deal for full fibre broadband, at a speed that’s fast enough for everyday use.

Best deal for cheap fast broadband – Hyperoptic, 500Mb Fibre Connection

• Price: £25 a month
• Length: 24 months
• Set-up cost: £0

If your area can get faster speeds, check out Hyperoptic. This provider isn’t available everywhere, only covering areas in London and larger cities at the moment. But if you can get it, its packages are competitive.

For fast speeds from a more well-known and widely available provider, consider Plusnet’s Full Fibre 500 package, which costs £31.99 a month for and comes with a £75 reward card. This offer is available until 7 May.

Best broadband deal with free gift – Vodafone, Full Fibre 150

• Price: £26 a month
• Length: 24 months
• Set-up cost: £0

Vodafone’s offering a £125 gift card to spend at Tesco, Sainsbury’s, M&S and Amazon when you sign up for its Full Fibre 150 package. But be quick, because the deal ends on 5 May.

For a deal that’s lasting a bit longer, Plusnet is a good alternative. Its Full Fibre 145 package will cost you £26.99 a month for 24 months, and you’ll get a £50 reward card after you sign up. The deal is available until 7 May.

Best broadband deal with TV – Sky Stream, Essential TV, Netflix & Full Fibre 75 Broadband

• Price: £35 a month
• Length: 24 months
• Set-up cost: £0

Sky’s Essential TV package includes Sky Atlantic, Netflix and Discovery+. The monthly bill is the same for 75Mbps, 150Mbps or 300Mbps, which is great news for those who want and can get faster speeds.

Best 18-month broadband deal – Virgin Media, M125 Fibre Broadband 

• Price: £23.99 a month
• Length: 18 months
• Set-up cost: £0

If you don’t want to get locked into a two-year contract, 18-month deals are available with some providers. Virgin Media is offering £55 bill credit with this package until 8 May. Keep in mind Virgin Media isn’t available in all parts of the country. 

Is it worth switching broadband supplier? 

It’s worth comparing deals if you’re reaching the end of your contract. Switching suppliers can bag you:

• a cheaper deal
• faster internet
• a competitive bundled package (for example with TV and streaming services included)
• free gifts and incentives to move
• improved service

You’ll be shunted to a rolling contract when your existing one expires – and it’s likely the provider will hike your monthly bill. Providers bank on customers not taking any action in this situation, so you should check whether you can get a better deal elsewhere.

Keep in mind your provider must tell you when you’re reaching the end of your contract and what alternative deals they have available. Moving to one of these in good time means you’ll avoid hefty out-of-contract prices.
