Fibre broadband postcode checker

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.

When searching for the best broadband deals in my area, you might come across terms like ADSL, cable and fibre – these refer to the different technology types to deliver broadband service to your home.

ADSL:

Also known as standard broadband, Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) uses copper phone wires to deliver your broadband. Despite being the most commonly available, ADSL broadband is several times slower than average fibre networks.

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 than ADSL.

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.

Over the next several years, Virgin Media will be upgrading its cable network to full fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) broadband using cutting-edge full-fibre technology.
