Home broadband deals in Carlisle
Most homes and businesses in the Carlisle area should have plenty of choices for providers. Almost all properties have access to broadband through an Openreach provider, so can sign up to well-known names such as BT, Sky, Vodafone and TalkTalk.
And, if residents want to speed things up and go for a full fibre service, over 80% have the option to sign up to a package with download speeds of 1Gb. That's fast enough for even the busiest of homes.

What is Openreach?
Openreach is the company that maintains the former British Telecom Network used for the majority of broadband and phone services. If a repair or installation is required, it’s Openreach who will send an engineer, not your provider.
More than 650 service providers using the Openreach network. That’s the majority of the UK’s broadband providers. This includes Sky, TalkTalk and BT. The exception to this is Virgin Media - it uses its own, separate cable network.
Virgin Media cable broadband is also available to around 60% Carlisle properties. There's also an increasing number of smaller AltNets offering fast, full fibre deals - with the bonus that a lot of these come with fixed price promises and no in-contract price rises.
One easy way to see what’s available for your own home is to enter your address into our deals checker.
You'll then see broadband deals that have been filtered by location, and only those providers offering service to your home will be displayed.
Don't forget, you can filter the table by factors such as broadband speed, cost and internet provider. You can also filter to show specific types of offers, such as free-setup broadband or unlimited internet.
