Home broadband deals in Belfast
Good news for Belfast's residents when it comes to home broadband! The area has wide access to everything from basic ADSL to super-fast fibre optic broadband.
All the exchanges have access to the best value packages from popular internet service provider such as Sky and TalkTalk. And fibre is enabled for BT lines or the Virgin Media network.
Project Stratum represents a fund of over £150 million put toward upgrading broadband across the country. Belfast was the first place in Northern Ireland to get Fibre To The Premises (FTTP) from Openreach.
But just because a particular unlimited broadband service is available at your nearest exchange, doesn't mean you're guaranteed to get it at your home or business.
Factors such as distance from the exchange and whether fibre optic has been installed in your street can play a part in availability. Virgin Media broadband, isn't as widespread, and you can even run into situations where the neighbours can get it, but you can’t.
