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.

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

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.

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.

How our site works

Uswitch services are provided at no cost to you, but we may receive a commission from the companies we refer you to. This helps to keep our site free for you to use. Sometimes we have commercial agreements with providers to highlight deals that we think are worth your consideration. These deals are labelled 'sponsored'.

Is full fibre broadband available in Glasgow?

Many locations in Glasgow can access full fibre broadband of some type. Multiple different full fibre networks are in operation in the city, some nationwide ones and some that are more regional to Glasgow.

And while coverage isn't everywhere, there is a good chance you'll have equivalent speed options available to you if you can't get full fibre yet.

The best way to find out is by inputting your address into our postcode checker to see which speeds and providers are available. If you're not yet able to get full fibre broadband, you may still be able to access Virgin Media's ultrafast broadband, or at the very least decent speeds from Openreach's part-fibre network.

Guide: all you need to know about full fibre

What's the fastest broadband in Glasgow?

Like most UK cities, the exact speed you can achieve will depend on where you live, and the quality of services can vary from place to place. While most locations can enjoy fast fibre solutions, there may still be some streets where this is not available.

If your home has access to either full fibre broadband or Virgin Media, you will likely have access to 'gigabit' speed broadband, which is the fastest category currently available across the UK. This offers speeds around 1Gbps, which is equal to 1000Mbps.

If you're unable to access either of these, you will likely see a maximum speed of around 76Mbps in your results. This will be supplied by Openreach's part-fibre network, which still relies on copper cables to get from your local street cabinet to your home.

Which internet providers are in Glasgow?

With so many providers offering broadband deals in Glasgow, it can be tricky to determine the best option for you. Here's a brief list of all the providers that offer broadband packages in the city.

Virgin Media logoVirgin Media
Vodafone logoVodafone
TalkTalk logoTalkTalk
BT logoBT
Hyperoptic logoHyperoptic

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.

5G broadband coverage in Glasgow

Glasgow has good 5G coverage from all of the four UK mobile networks. However, it's important to look for indoor coverage when choosing a 5G broadband deal. This is because your router will need to connect to a strong 5G signal, which can be more difficult indoors where there are more obstacles getting in the way.

  • EE: Mostly good outdoor and indoor 5G coverage, except for an area around Laurieston. Some parts of North East and South West Glasgow only have only good outdoor coverage
  • Vodafone: Mostly good indoor & outdoor 5G signal strength, except for the South West area near Dumbreck and Strathbungo, and some eastern areas including Carntine, Cranhill and Riddrie
  • Three: Only small pockets of good indoor 5G coverage in Glasgow, namely around Tradeston, Calton and Parkhead
  • O2: Outdoor coverage is reported across the whole city except for pockets in Calton & Tradeston. O2 hasn't provided specific information on indoor 5G connection strength for Glasgow.

Finding the best broadband in Glasgow

Almost all Glasgow residents will have access to most of the major UK providers. So, when looking for the best broadband deal, you should have plenty of providers to choose from.

For those who only use the internet occasionally for casual social media, occasional working from home and streaming the odd TV show, broadband with speeds between 30-70Mbps may be enough for you. However, if you have multiple people at home streaming and working regularly, or any enthusiastic gamers, you might find a speed over 100Mbps more comfortable. Some deals at this speed are priced quite similarly to slower tiers, so it may be a worthwhile investment if there won't be a difference in your monthly cost.

Broadband providers have different reputations based on what they are considered to be good at. Some focus on value, some focus on connection backups and reliability, some have great customer service and some offer very fast speeds for power users.
