Home broadband deals in Bradford
There's plenty of scope for faster fibre optic broadband in Bradford.
You can guarantee superfast broadband options, and a huge proportion of properties will have the chance to sign up to full fibre, Gigabit deals.
Just like mobile coverage, there can be areas where service might not be available even if it’s enabled at your closest exchange. This is particularly true for the Virgin Media services where you may find that while a neighbour or the next street over can get it, the lines don't run to your premises.
When you enter your address into our comparison table, we’ll show you broadband offers from providers available at your exact location.
When you click the 'Get deal' button on Broadband Genie, the provider will run further checks to double-check that the product is available at your home address. Just keep in mind that speeds can vary, but your chosen broadband provider should provide you with an accurate estimate before you pay any money, so you have an idea of what you’ll get before committing.

What’s the difference between ‘fibre’ and ‘full-fibre’ broadband?
Full Fibre broadband is also known as ‘Fibre To The Premises’, ‘Fibre To The Home’. This is often shortened to FTTP or FTTH. They’re all the same thing!
Instead of copper telephone wire making up the final part of the journey from that green cabinet on the street, fibre optic cables are installed right up to your home.
It’s amazing the difference in speed this small data journey can have. With full-fibre broadband, you can expect to receive speeds of 1Gb+.
The downside is full-fibre is only available to a small percentage of homes in the UK, and it’s taking a good while to get everyone up to speed.
The future of broadband in Bradford
CityFibre is expanding its ultrafast fibre optic network to Bradford as part of a £75m investment to improve broadband for businesses and public organisations. Zen Internet has a big presence in the area. BT and TalkTalk also have a small amount of fibre to the premises (FTTP) coverage.
Although Bradford itself already enjoys a good level of access to high-speed broadband, there are many other locations where it's not readily available. To improve broadband for the area, more than £10m has been allocated for infrastructure upgrades by the Superfast West Yorkshire project.
Comparing mobile broadband in Bradford
Bradford and surrounding areas benefit from good coverage of mobile signal, so there’s a high chance you’ll be able to get a 4G, or 5G mobile broadband connection throughout the city and its boroughs, even out into the countryside.
Despite this, you should always confirm coverage in a specific location before purchasing any mobile device, as there can still be signal dead spots. One easy method is to check the signal strength on a mobile phone, but you can also take advantage of the coverage check tools provided by networks, though do keep in mind that these are a guide only.
