Fibre broadband postcode checker
Use our postcode checker to find out which of our broadband packages are available in your area.
What’s the best broadband in my area?
To find the best broadband deal for you, first check to see what’s available in your area by using a broadband postcode checker, like the one provided at the top of this page. This will tell you the types, and speeds, of broadband you can get – two things worth considering when finding the best broadband for your household, as well as thinking about your budget and daily internet usage.
The different types of broadband can typically be broken down into ADSL, cable and fibre:
ADSL:
Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) uses copper phone wires to deliver your broadband and whilst the most commonly available, is several times slower than average fibre speeds.
Cable:
Cable broadband on the other hand, uses coaxial cables (an upgrade from the traditional copper wires) to connect your home to a fibre cabinet. This type of connection offers ultrafast speeds and a much more reliable broadband service.
Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC):
There are two types of fibre broadband – fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) and fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP). Fibre-to-the-cabinet uses fibre optic cables from the telephone exchange to the local cabinet, then a copper wire connection to your home.
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP):
As the name suggests fibre-to-the-premises uses fibre optic cables from the broadband exchange directly to your home. These broadband packages provide some of the fastest broadband speeds out there.
At Virgin Media we aim to upgrade our cable network to full fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) broadband using cutting-edge full-fibre technology by 2028.
