Full fibre (or FTTP) broadband uses modern fibre-optic cables to deliver the fastest and most reliable connection - even at peak times.
Cable broadband uses a mix of fibre-optic and coaxial cables to deliver your internet. It’s mainly used by Virgin Media. While it’s not as fast or reliable as full fibre, the cables from the cabinet are better than copper.
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.

Can I get full fibre broadband in Brighton?

Brighton has very good full fibre coverage across most of the city from Openreach, and supplementary availability from CityFibre.

While full fibre might not be available to every home in Brighton, most areas have a strong presence of it, except pockets of lower availability in Withdean, Round Hill and seaside properties in Hove.

This means that either full fibre has already been installed on your street and is therefore available to install, or it is coming very soon as more neighbourhoods get full fibre connectivity.

Check your address in our postcode checker to see if full fibre broadband is already available to your home.

What's the fastest broadband speed in Brighton?

Overall, internet speeds in Brighton are very good compared to the country as a whole. The fastest widely available connections are on Virgin Media's cable broadband network and Openreach's fibre-to-the-premises network.

If you can get these connections at your home, you should be able to enjoy gigabit speeds (1Gbps), which are usually the fastest on offer to UK homes right now.

The best way to determine what speed you can currently achieve is to visit our broadband speed test, where you can find out what your upload and download performance is on your existing connection.

Openreach providers

Since Openreach's part-fibre and full fibre networks are both so widely available across Brighton, residents should have access to a wide range of broadband providers.

Openreach hosts part- and full fibre broadband services for BT, Sky, Plusnet, EE and NOW. And in areas where CityFibre isn't available, it also hosts full fibre deals from Vodafone and TalkTalk.

Virgin Media

Virgin Media has long had wide and extensive coverage with its own network in Brighton, which means that until recently, it was Brighton's only widely available ultrafast broadband provider.

You can enjoy similar speeds to full fibre on Virgin's network, up to 1.1Gbps on its fastest available package.

Alternative broadband providers in Brighton

There are also some smaller full fibre providers offering ultrafast broadband via their own independent networks. They have limited availability compared to the nationwide networks, so here are the areas you can get them in Brighton:

  • CityFibre: Covers areas on the eastern side of Brighton where Openreach doesn't offer full fibre, namely Kemptown, Queen's Park, Bevendean, Moulsecoomb and Coldean
  • Brighton Fibre: Available in select areas in Central Brighton, Brunswick and Hove
  • Hyperoptic: Pockets of availability in central Brighton, Hove, and strong coverage in Brighton Marina Village

Is 5G broadband available in Brighton?

To enjoy a reliable 5G broadband connection, you'll need to choose a package from a provider with good indoor 5G coverage.

5G signal is heavily impacted by surrounding buildings and walls, so you may be frustrated with your signal if you select one from a network that doesn't have a strong indoor connection where you are. Here's a rundown of 5G signal strength in different areas of Brighton:

  • EE: Great indoor coverage in central Brighton and western Hove, but patchy in Brunswick Town and Kemptown
  • Vodafone: Vodafone seems to have very limited 5G coverage in Brighton overall, with no particular areas boasting good indoor 5G signal
  • O2: O2 doesn't specify indoor coverage on its 5G map, but it seems to have a noticeably stronger 5G signal across Brighton than Vodafone.
  • Three: Three has strong indoor 5G coverage in the North Lane area and northern Brighton in general, plus just north of Kemptown. The rest of the city only has good outdoor 5G coverage.
What is 5G home broadband?
Our broadband expert says

“Brighton has long had very good broadbsnd speeds across most of the city, due to Virgin Media's longstanding presence in the area. And now, full fibre options from Openreach providers are quite widely available too.


The city doesn't have as good 5G coverage as others, though. So you'll need to make sure you live in the right area for indoor 5G coverage if you're looking for 5G broadband.”

How to compare Brighton broadband deals

When you put your address into our postcode checker, it pays to compare all of the available options to see which provider best fits your needs.

When you're looking for broadband providers in Brighton, there are many factors to consider. While it's easy to simply look for the cheapest deal or the one that offers the fastest speeds, there are many other elements to take into account.

For example, you should consider whether the speeds they deliver will suit your expected usage — there's no point paying over the odds for the fastest service if you liver alone or all you want to do is browse the web and check social media.

Finally, think about the level of support that will be available. Some providers offer full, 24/7 UK-based technical assistance to answer any queries or issues you may have, which could be invaluable to some users. Therefore, it pays to do your research beforehand and know exactly what features and offers will be most useful to you.
