* 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.

Nottingham has a good range of full fibre options, and a significant proportion of homes in the area have full fibre available to them. Not only does Openreach have strong coverage of the technology, but smaller broadband networks like CityFibre, Hyperoptic and ITS Technology are available in select parts of Nottingham too.
Full fibre, or fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) broadband, is the fastest type of broadband connection currently available in the UK. It offers much faster speeds than most fibre connections, which are restricted by the fact that they continue to rely on copper for the connection between the home and the street-level cabinet.
Full fibre brings fibre-optic cabling right to your door, thereby avoiding this limitation. However, its availability is a little more limited, with around 69% of homes nationwide able to access it as of Winter 2024.
You can use our speed test to determine your current speed and how it compares to other connections nearby to see if you're getting the best performance.
Every major broadband provider in the UK has a presence in and around Nottingham. A wide range of deals are on offer, from budget-friendly broadband-only offers to triple-play deals that add premium TV and home phone service to your package and high-speed fibre broadband.
With so many companies to choose from, it's important to compare what each provider offers, and which would be best for your situation. Here are some of the most popular broadband providers in Nottingham.
TalkTalk is a value-focused broadband provider, offering consumers in Nottingham a range of part-fibre and full fibre deals via the CityFibre network.
BT is the UK's largest home broadband provider and offers a range of TV and internet deals in Nottingham.

Nottingham isn't just served by Openreach providers and Virgin Media. There are also a number of smaller full fibre broadband networks that are available regionally to the city.
Compare broadband deals in other UK towns and cities to see how broadband coverage can differ in each area.
While around 98% of homes in Nottingham can receive superfast fibre broadband, there are still a few streets where this is unavailable, while services such as Virgin Media's cable network and full fibre connections may be more limited.
Therefore, it pays to use Uswitch's postcode checker. It can show you all the options available for your address and what speeds you can expect.
There are many factors to consider when looking for broadband deals in Nottingham, but one key issue is the speed you receive. You don't want to end up with a package that's too slow for your needs, but at the same time, not everyone will require a blazingly fast, high-speed service.
If you live alone or with one other person, and you only use the internet for occasional streaming, social media or working from home, you likely won't need a very fast speed. Whereas if you have a large household with many gadgets always on the go, you'll need a higher download speed to cope with each device's demand for data.
Search on Uswitch to find the right broadband package for you.
