BT is the most popular internet service provider in the UK. This is because the company offers a fantastic selection of deals, including ADSL, fibre and Full Fibre options via the ever-reliable and widely available Openreach network. Plus, BT also offers a number of TV and broadband bundles for customers that include a great range of channels. However, BT isn't flawless. The company's deals do sit at the more expensive end of the market and its contracts last for either 12 or 24 months. Plus, EE is now becoming the flagship broadband provider of the BT Group, so some of the company's best deals may soon be offered by EE instead.
For
- Fantastic choice of speeds
- Good internet and TV bundles
- High-spec router
Against
- Deals can be expensive
- Long contracts
- Quickest packages now offered by EE
ADSL: No
Fibre: Yes

Vodafone is a no frills provider that's known for offering some of the cheapest fibre broadband deals on the market today. Although the company doesn't offer an ADSL option at all, it does offer a great selection of packages that range between 38Mbps and 910Mbps, as well as a range of Xtra and Pro II packages. However, the company's customer service offering has been continually found wanting and its TV packages, which are available through Vodafone Xtra, leave something to be desired.
For
- Cheap fibre tariffs
- Gigabit speeds available
- Excellent router and tech
Against
- Customer service must improve
- No ADSL options
- Price increases can be expensive
