Hi there Broadband Geniuses (Genii?).
You’re the very first to see the latest research into UK broadband speeds and prices.
Some of the research findings:
- Wolverhampton and Wrexham are buffering along with the worst value broadband in the UK
- Newport and Lincoln are a bit nippier, topping the table for the best value broadband (but you might still be overpaying)
- Independent providers like DirectSave, and NowBroadband are giving the big brands a run for their money in the value for money stakes
- On average broadband customers overspend £281.76 a year on broadband
You can take a peek at the full research - and there’re also some tips on how to improve your own deal (especially with Black Friday offers on the horizon)
Are you in one of the table topping towns?
Happy with your provider’s speed and value for money?
Or are you unsurprised to see your area at the bottom of the table?
And if so, are you going to have a quiet word with your provider?
Black Friday is an excellent time to shop around, and household bills such as broadband are one of the few Black Friday purchases where you’re saving, not spending.

Where do you sit on the table?
Maybe things could be worse - one team member in rural Devon doesn’t even have the option of full fibre / FTTP yet. But it’s worth seeing if you’ve got more choice and power than you think over your provider
