What’s the difference between BT fibre optic and other fibre broadband deals?
Most other broadband providers are using the same Openreach (BT) fibre optic network and offer broadly comparable services to BT fibre optic so the major difference is the pricing and features of each deal, as well as other important considerations such as each provider’s technical and customer support. To find out more about these aspects our annual home broadband survey is a good starting point.
There are a couple of particularly notable features offered by BT fibre optic that you won’t find with other ISPs:
52Mb entry level speed
All other fibre optic services using the Openreach network offer a maximum speed of 38Mb on their cheapest deals. But with BT you get a faster speed of 52Mb on the entry level packages.
Free BT Sport
Every BT broadband customer gets some access to BT Sport for no extra charge.
BT Cloud storage
BT fibre deals include up to 100GB of free online storage for sharing and backing up files.
Free BT Wi-Fi
Get online away from the home with free unlimited access to BT Wi-Fi public hotspots.

What should I look for when comparing BT fibre optic deals?
Availability: Before doing anything else enter your postcode to check that BT fibre optic is available in your area.
Monthly price: This is the fixed price you’ll pay for the length of the contract. It includes broadband and the phone line (and TV, if selected) but extra charges such as phone calls will be added to your bill each month. Prices can go up after the initial contract, so you may want to switch regularly to take advantage of the best broadband deals.
