An average 35Mbps to 74Mbps connection is adequate for browsing, HD streaming, video calls and light home working.

An average 100Mbps to 150Mbps package is ideal for a typical household using several connected devices. Packages between 300Mbps and 500Mbps give larger households additional bandwidth for several 4K streams, gaming and frequent large downloads.

An average 900Mbps or 1Gbps package is best for several heavy users and frequent multi-gigabyte downloads. Speeds above 1Gbps require compatible routers, Ethernet ports and connected devices.

The lowest starting price is not always the cheapest deal over the complete minimum term. Several major providers apply a fixed annual increase during the contract.

• Check every scheduled monthly price.
• Include setup, activation and installation charges.
• Add paid phone, television and Wi-Fi services.
• Check the monthly charge after the contract ends.
• Deduct rewards only after confirming the claim conditions.

Switching credit contributes towards an early termination charge from the previous provider. Customers normally pay the old provider first and then submit the final bill to the new provider.

Full fibre, also called FTTP, carries fibre-optic cable directly into the home. Current packages commonly offer average download speeds from 74Mbps to 1Gbps, while selected providers offer multi-gigabit services.

Part-fibre broadband, or FTTC, uses fibre to the street cabinet and copper cable for the final connection. Current packages commonly offer average download speeds between 35Mbps and 74Mbps.

4G and 5G home broadband use a mobile signal instead of a fixed cable. Installation is quick, but performance depends on indoor signal quality and local network usage.

The package speed describes the connection reaching the router. Walls, floors, distance and interference can reduce wireless speed in other rooms.

Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 routers can deliver faster wireless speeds and manage more connected devices than Wi-Fi 5 equipment when the connected device uses the same standard.

Large and multi-storey homes can require a mesh system or booster. Check whether additional equipment is included, offered as a paid add-on or supplied only after a failed coverage test.

Check the minimum-term end date before ordering. Leaving early can result in an early termination charge.

For an eligible One Touch Switch, place the order with the new provider. It contacts the previous provider and arranges the transfer. Do not cancel the old broadband first unless the order instructions specifically require it.

A switch can affect the home phone number, provider email account, television service and mobile discount. Check each linked service before confirming the order.
