Virgin Media
Virgin Media's broadband network has extensive coverage throughout Glasgow. It offers ultrafast speeds to most areas in the city, and in surrounding neighbourhoods too.
Its coverage is slightly more limited in central parts of Glasgow along the M74, and in a southern pocket of the city near Pollockshields.
Virgin's new full fibre network, Nexfibre, which has limited overage but is growing fast, also has some availability near Provanmill, Easterhouse and Corkerhill.
BT and Sky
BT and Sky broadband are both available via the Openreach network.
The most widely available packages on offer from these providers in Glasgow will be part-fibre connections offering speeds up to 60Mbps for Sky, and 76Mbps for BT. But much of Glasgow can also access Openreach's full fibre network, where speeds from these providers can reach up to 900Mbps.
Vodafone and TalkTalk
Providers Vodafone and TalkTalk also share Openreach's part-fibre network for its slower, more widely-available deals. But depending on which networks are available to you, its full fibre deals are either supplied by Openreach or by another network called CityFibre.
Are there altnet broadband providers in Glasgow?
'Altnets' are smaller broadband providers that have less nationwide availability than big networks like Openreach or Virgin Media, but offer similar full fibre speeds at very competitive prices.
CityFibre is the UK's biggest altnet and third largest full fibre network. It's available across most of Glasgow except for central areas and eastern parts of the city including Barrowfield, Bridgetown and Dalmarnock. It supplies full fibre for Vodafone, TalkTalk and many smaller broadband brands.
Hyperoptic is another altnet that is mostly available to apartment blocks in urban areas. You'll find most of its coverage in central and west Glasgow. Unlike some of the bigger providers, Hyperoptic commits to no mid-contract price increases during your initial term. Its monthly prices are also noticeably low if you opt for a longer contract option.
YouFibre's ultrafast full fibre broadband is also available in the Glasgow area. While it doesn't have coverage in central parts, it's available across multiple neighbouring towns to the south and east of the city. It has good coverage in locations like East Kilbride, Hamilton, Motherwell, Coatbridge and Cumbernauld.
