Comparing home broadband in Nottingham
Central Nottingham is reasonably well served for broadband and featured in our top 10 areas for fast broadband. Openreach superfast fibre is available from the city centre out into most outlying exchanges, covering as far out as Beeston, Carlton, Bulwell and Sherwood.
Further afield there is less choice and some exchanges, such as Gotham, are not LLU which restricts the choice of providers and deals.
If it's speed you're after: much of Nottingham is also covered by Virgin Media’s superfast fibre broadband network. Similarly, full fibre connections are also available. Both of these options can offer download speeds of up to (even over) 1Gb.
Broadband improvements for the county are being managed by the Better Broadband for Nottinghamshire project, part of the BDUK program aiming to give most of the UK access to superfast internet. Over £30m has been invested by the project for infrastructure upgrades - resulting in 98% of Nottinghamshire's homes and businesses gaining access to superfast fibre.
To find out what's available to your property, use the postcode search in our comparison tables. Once you’ve entered your postcode, we’ll narrow down your options to those available in your area.
Alternatively, narrow your search by going to one of our specialised pages: perhaps you know you want unlimited broadband, broadband only or a broadband and TV deal?
We realise not everyone's an internet expert. That’s why we have an extensive broadband guides section, as well as a number at the top of the page that you can call if you’d rather talk through your requirements with us.
