Can I get full fibre broadband in Belfast?

Full fibre broadband is available to the vast majority of Belfast homes. This is thanks to a much faster rollout of fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) connections in Northern Ireland than other UK countries.

93% of Northern Ireland homes can already get full fibre broadband, which means it's highly likely you'll be able to enjoy this faster, more reliable broadband connection in Belfast.

What's the fastest broadband I can get in Belfast?

Since full fibre and Virgin Media broadband are so widely available in Belfast and the rest of Northern Ireland, most residents can access 'gigabit' broadband speeds. This is considered the fastest connection available to broadband customers right now, and represents a speed of 1Gbps, or 1000Mbps.

This speed is over 12 times the maximum you could get on an older, slower part-fibre connection. But it's also arguably too fast for most people - a slower full fibre speed between 100-500Mbps would likely be more suitable (and cheaper) for most households who can get full fibre or Virgin Media.

How can I find a cheap broadband deal in Belfast?

There are lots of low cost broadband offers available in Belfast. Nowadays, you can some full fibre connections for about the same price as older part-fibre ones — sometimes from just £22 per month.

When searching for cheap broadband deals in Belfast on Uswitch, make sure to sort the results by 'Price (low to high)' to find the cheapest offers in your postcode.

Since full fibre rolled out in Northern Ireland much faster than other UK areas, there are fewer smaller 'alternative' providers available in Belfast. Many of these brands are known for offering even cheaper full fibre deals, sometimes starting from £17 per month. But since the majority of full fibre in Belfast is accessible via larger nationwide providers, prices are relatively competitive but not the cheapest.

Is there 5G broadband in Belfast?

If your home can't get access to full fibre, 5G broadband is a worthy alternative if you're looking for faster broadband speeds. But you need to make sure your home is covered by a good indoor 5G signal.

Here's a rundown of each UK mobile network's 5G connection strength in Belfast:

  • Vodafone: Good indoor 5G signal in many parts of the city, but quite limited in central areas like Cathedral Quarter, Blackstaff Stop and Stranmillis.
  • EE: Good indoor 5G coverage in central Belfast, but only good outdoor coverage in areas like the Gaeltacht Quarter, Stranmillis and Strandtown.
  • O2: It doesn't specifically report indoor 5G signal - instead it shows that most of the city is covered by good outdoor and 'limited' indoor 5G signal strength.
  • Three: Only reports good indoor 5G coverage in central Belfast, and pockets near Ardoyne, the Gaeltacht Quarter and Sydenham.
