Full fibre (or FTTP) broadband uses modern fibre-optic cables to deliver the fastest and most reliable connection - even at peak times.
Part fibre (or FTTC) broadband uses a mix of modern fibre-optic cables and older copper wires. The condition and length of the copper can affect your connection’s speed and reliability.
Copper (or ADSL) broadband is the oldest and slowest type as it relies on older copper phone lines. The condition and length of the copper can affect your connection’s speed and reliability.
Mobile broadband uses a wireless 4G or 5G network. It’s a great option if you can’t get fixed-line broadband, or you live far from a telephone exchange and need faster speeds.

About these results

* Average speeds are based on the download speed available to at least 50% of customers with this product during peak time (8 to 10pm). Your actual speeds depend on factors like your connection type, area, time of day and distance from the telephone exchange.

Deals are subject to local availability and may not be available to existing customers. You can confirm availability and estimated speeds for your property on the provider’s website - this may be different to what we show.

§ Order before 8pm for next working day delivery. To find out more about delivery times, please check the provider site for more details.

Some providers may increase monthly costs each year during your contract, in line with the retail or consumer price index. Check their terms before signing up.

Can I get full fibre in Aberdeen?

Aberdeen has a very good range of full fibre networks available all across the city. Openreach's widely-available FTTP network can be found in all of the built-up areas of the city, as is CityFibre - the largest alternative full fibre network in the UK.

One notable provider that isn't available in Aberdeen is Virgin Media. While its network technically isn't classed as 'full fibre', it provides similar speeds to urban areas. So its absence from a city as big as Aberdeen is quite notable.

However, with two large full fibre networks already available, and a number of smaller alternative networks in more particular areas, you are quite likely to be in a full fibre-connected area in Aberdeen.

Openreach providers

Openreach, which is owned by BT Group, is the largest broadband network in the UK. It has extensive coverage of both part-fibre and full fibre connections in Aberdeen, and provides broadband services for a number of well-known brands.

You can get part-fibre and full fibre broadband services from providers like BT, Sky, Plusnet, NOW, Direct Save Telecom, Onestream and more.

CityFibre providers

CityFibre is the UK's biggest alternative broadband network ('altnet' for short). Its nationwide coverage is more limited than that of Openreach, but it has equally extensive full fibre coverage across Aberdeen.

Providers like Vodafone and TalkTalk regularly use CityFibre services, but they may instead use Openreach in neighbourhoods where CityFibre isn't available. It also hosts services for a number of smaller broadband brands like Cuckoo, 4th Utility, Link Broadband, Quickline, Yayzi and more.

Altnet providers in Aberdeen

There are also a number of independent full fibre providers offering their own services via their own networks in Aberdeen. Here's a quick rundown of where they are.

  • Hyperoptic: Available in select flat blocks near Pittodrie, West End, Midstocket, Ashgrove, Bucksburn and Cove Bay
  • GoFibre: Just south of the city centre near Portlethen and Newtonhill
  • Grain Connect: West of Aberdeen near Countesswells
  • OFNL: In select neighbourhoods near Danestone and Craibstone

Does Aberdeen have 5G broadband?

In order to get a good 5G broadband connection at home, you need to ensure it will be strong enough indoors. This can vary depending on where your property faces or how many buildings are around it.

Luckily, mobile networks usually state where their 5G signal is strong indoors.

  • EE: Good indoor coverage in central areas of Aberdeen, except for Rubislaw and Craigiebuckler
  • Vodafone: Weak signal in most central areas, but much stronger in western areas near Westburn Park, Midstocket and Ferryhill
  • O2: Good outdoor coverage in most of the city - indoor coverage not stated specifically
  • Three: Only pockets of good indoor 5G near the docks and in northern parts of the city. Some more good pockets in Torry and near Northfield.
What is 5G home broadband?
Our broadband expert says

“Aberdeen has some of the widest fast broadband coverage of the big UK cities. With high availability from both Openreach and CityFibre, there is a very good choice of ultrafast full fibre across the city.


It also has pockets of broadband coverage from smaller, independent full fibre providers that help to plug the gap in more suburban regions. 5G broadband coverage is a little bit patchy compared to some other cities, though.”

What's the fastest broadband in Aberdeen?

This depends on which types of broadband are available at your home. If you run your address into our postcode checker and can see speeds of 100Mbps and above, this means you can get full fibre broadband in Aberdeen.

Currently, this allows for speeds up to around 1Gbps, which is equivalent to 1000Mbps. This is likely too fast for most households currently, as there won't be a huge difference in speed from around 300Mbps to justify the price, unless you live in a home of serious gamers or work with high-quality files.

If you can't see 1000Mbps speeds in your results, the fastest you can likely get right now is a part-fibre connection of about 70Mbps. This may sound a lot slower, but it's actually still quite decent, and it can let most homes do all they need to online without many issues.
