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'.

What broadband can I get in Sheffield?

Sheffield offers various broadband packages to suit different needs, from affordable plans for light internet users to ultrafast packages perfect for busy households or avid gamers. 

Whatever your preferences or budget, we can help you identify the best broadband deals in Sheffield.

Is fibre broadband available in Sheffield?

Yes, both part-fibre and full fibre broadband are widely available across Sheffield.

Part-fibre connections (providing up to 70Mbps on average) are accessible nationwide. Full fibre (or FTTP) broadband, which can deliver speeds exceeding 1,000Mbps, is also increasingly available in the Sheffield area. According to our 2024 fibre broadband study, full fibre coverage currently stands at around 79.3% for Yorkshire and the Humber. 

Can I get 5G broadband in Sheffield? 

Sheffield enjoys widespread 5G coverage across many central areas with providers like Vodafone, EE, and Three. However, the coverage in other areas can vary, meaning 5G broadband won’t be the best solution for every property. 

Some Sheffield households can achieve faster download speeds with 5G broadband than with fixed broadband. However, this will depend on your proximity to a 5G mast and nearby structures that surround your home. 

We always recommend verifying your property’s coverage using a mobile and broadband checker before purchasing. 5G broadband is typically less reliable than a fixed solution, so carefully consider your household's needs before you commit.

Altnet broadband providers in Sheffield

Sheffield is home to some of the UK's largest alternative broadband networks. This includes CityFibre and Hyperoptic across the whole city area and Nexfibre (which is Virgin Media's fibre-to-the-premises arm) in southern parts of the city.

Especially thanks to CityFibre, which wholesales its network to a number of broadband brands, this means that much of the city can access full fibre broadband from a range of providers.

Guide: Altnet broadband providers explained
Our expert says

“Overall, Sheffield's broadband speeds are improving but remain variable by location. Urban dwellers have more choices, while those in suburban or rural outskirts may face limitations and slower speeds.


Although Sheffield’s average broadband speeds may not match those of larger cities like London and Liverpool, ultrafast broadband is becoming increasingly common. Providers like Virgin Media, Sky, and NOW Broadband enable Sheffield households to benefit from 900Mbps+ speeds with their full fibre packages.


Sheffield is on a positive trajectory, with expanding full fibre networks and increasing access to 5G broadband promising better connectivity for more homes in the near future. Check your postcode regularly to see if better options have become available for your home.”

Can you get superfast broadband in Sheffield?

Superfast internet is widely available across Sheffield. However, access to the best packages will depend on your exact location, provider options, and property type.

Households and businesses in areas with good infrastructure, like Sheffield city centre, Broomhall, and Netherthorpe, can often access ultrafast speeds of up to 1.1Gbps. This means superfast broadband should be available to most postcodes in this area.

In contrast, older neighbourhoods or properties on the outskirts of Sheffield may rely on part fibre or ADSL connections, which are generally slower due to legacy infrastructure. Some areas are even limited to average speeds of around 17Mbps or less, meaning superfast broadband isn’t always available. If you live in an area like this, it’s worth checking if 5G broadband is an option. 

Use our postcode checker to find our best broadband deals in Sheffield for your address. We’ll show you our top-rated packages and highlight superfast and even ultrafast options if they’re available.

What is the fastest broadband in Sheffield?

According to the Fair Internet Report, Sheffield has an average broadband speed of 58Mbps, which is slightly slower than the UK average of 68Mbps. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t get lightning-fast broadband with the right package.

Providers like Virgin Media deliver some of the fastest speeds available, offering up to 1Gbps for ultrafast users. Openreach providers, including BT, Sky, and TalkTalk, also provide superfast and ultrafast options across Sheffield. 

Don’t forget to check out other providers like Hyperoptic and NOW Broadband, too. Depending on your location and budget, you may be able to achieve speeds of over 900Mbps with these providers.
