Compare Broadband

Broadband, a contraction of 'broad bandwidth', provides high-speed data-transmission rates over a phone line, digital cable or satellite connection, and has changed the way in which people use the Internet, for shopping, gaming, communicating and general entertainment.

Since 2004, when Broadband services were first introduced to the UK, more and more people are accessing the Internet using Broadband service providers. This has seen a wide variety of companies offering their services to consumers – the Broadband ISP market is one of the fastest-growing markets in the country.

According to figures from the Office of National Statistics, 13.9 million households in the UK had access to the Internet from home between January and April last year; it has been estimated that in the first half of 2007 alone, 6 million more households are expected to have Broadband connections.

With advances in telephone technology meaning that more and more customers are now able to make cheaper long-distance calls over the Internet and access the Internet both out of and in the home, more and more Broadband suppliers are offering deals allowing for cheaper mobile and landline phone rates combined with Broadband internet packages.

As this technological convergence continues, providers are increasingly extending their operations into other markets in order to cater for the needs of an ever-expanding market area. Today's broadband market is well furnished with a multitude of providers offering Broadband access alongside a variety of extra services.

Maybe you want extra mobile minutes with your Broadband connection, or the ability to transfer music files between your computer and mobile phone. You might want to take advantage of VoIP technology and make cheap calls over a Broadband line. Maybe you just want fast, secure internet access with no extra trimmings. Or you might just be stuck for choice, unable to decide which deal to go for.
