information on providers including BT Infinity, Sky, Virgin Media, EE and more.See also:Broadband deals | BT broadband deals | Sky broadband
deals | Virgin broadband deals | Broadband and TV dealsWhat is fibre broadbandWe don't want to get too technical here - the main thing to
take from this is that fibre broadband is far faster than traditional ADSL internet
It uses fibre optic cables to send and receive data, resulting in a speedier, more reliable internet connection.So instead of being stuck
with maximum standard speeds of 17Mb, you can at least double that to 38Mb for download speeds of around 4.75MB per second
As well as facilitating ridiculously fast downloading, the extra speed is ideal for large households where lots of people are using the
internet at once
If you stream 4K films and TV or play a lot of online games, fibre broadband is a must to ensure the highest-quality user experience.All of
the most popular providers - including Sky, TalkTalk, EE, Plusnet, Vodafone, John Lewis and the Post Office - offer a 38Mb fibre broadband
plan, while BT goes one better
Its BT infinity fibre broadband starts at speeds of up to 52Mb (6.5MB per second).If you're wondering why we haven't mentioned Virgin Media
broadband yet, it's because its super fast service is slightly different again
It uses coaxial cable instead of copper fibre optics to connect your home to the exchange
That basically means even faster internet speeds for you - between 50Mb (6.25 MB per second) and an incredible 300Mb (37.5 MB per
second).Fibre broadband checker - is fibre broadband available in my areaThere's one extremely easy way to discover whether fibre broadband
is available where you live - head to the top of this page, type in your postcode, hit 'compare deals', and if any results come back then
you can indeed get fibre
Fibre and cable broadband is currently available in around 90% of the UK's homes, so the odds are in your favour.What contract length should
I go forStandard 12 month contracts used to be the norm, but more and more providers now set their minimum contracts at 18 months
There are two ways to look at this - on one hand, getting a longer contract some times also means that you are guaranteed the initial price
for a longer period
So no nasty surprises half way through the term.But at the same time, you obviously have less flexibility, being tied in for half a year
longer
If you hate the idea of such a long contract, then head back up to our comparison chart and use the filter to see only year-long deals
There will be fewer to choose from, but there are still excellent prices to be had.Will I have to pay anything upfront for fibre
broadbandMost providers ask for at least something when you take up their fibre broadband deal
This will usually be an activation fee, which covers the cost of getting you hooked up
There may also be an additional delivery charge to pay to get hold of your new router
costs.Do I have to pay more to have a phone lineNope, all of the prices in our comparison chart include the land line
Providers used to specify how much you were paying for the phone line and internet separately, but now it's standard practice just to bundle
them up together and give one single price
We welcome this change, as it makes the whole buying process a lot more straightforward
Having the phone line allows you to make calls if you still use a landline, and the basic price sometimes includes free or cheap weekend
calls
If you want to add any other usage packages, you can use our comparison table to find more options, like evening, anytime and international
calls.BT Infinity broadbandFor most people, BT will still be the first name that springs to mind when they think of broadband
