Are you overpaying
for broadband?
UK providers quietly raise prices when contracts expire. Enter your details to see what you could save.
How do I know if I'm out of contract?
Your broadband contract end date is shown on your original sign-up confirmation email, your provider's app or online account, or on your latest bill. If you signed up more than 18–24 months ago and haven't renewed, there's a strong chance you've rolled onto a month-by-month tariff — which is almost always more expensive than a new deal.
Which broadband providers are cheapest in 2026?
Pricing varies significantly by postcode and speed tier. As a rough guide, superfast fibre (36–75 Mbps) is available from around £22–£28/month for new customers from providers including Plusnet, Vodafone, and NOW Broadband. Full-fibre gigabit deals start from around £30–£35/month in areas where providers like Community Fibre, Hyperoptic, and Sky Fibre Max have coverage.
Frequently asked questions
Will switching broadband cause any downtime?
In most cases, no. For like-for-like switches (e.g. FTTC to FTTC), Ofcom's One Touch Switching rules mean the process is seamless and your new service activates as your old one ends. You may need a brief engineer visit for full-fibre installations.
Can I switch if I'm still in contract?
Yes, but you'll usually need to pay an early termination charge — typically the remaining months multiplied by your monthly fee. Some providers (notably EE and BT) offer switching credits that cover these costs. It's worth calculating whether switching early still saves money overall.
What broadband speed do I actually need?
For a household of 1–2 people doing standard streaming and video calls, superfast (35–75 Mbps) is plenty. For 3+ people, heavy streaming, or working from home, ultrafast (100 Mbps+) is worth considering. Gigabit is largely future-proofing unless you regularly transfer very large files.
