Comparing mobile broadband in Leicester

You should have no problem finding the perfect mobile broadband service in Leicester. All four network operators provide excellent coverage. EE, O2, Three, and Vodafone all provide good 4G and 5G coverage throughout central Leicester and out to areas such as Birstall, Wigston, Thurmaston, Oadby and Enderby.

Central areas should also have a good 5G signal. Because of this, if you're in temporary accommodation, you're having trouble getting approval for fibre installation from your landlord, or you live in a high-rise, you might want to investigate signing up for a 4G or 5G home broadband option.

FAQs about broadband in Leicester

  • What is the cheapest broadband in Leicester?

    The cheapest broadband deal in Leicester will likely be a broadband only deal without a phone service or TV bundles included. Expect to pay from around £21 per month for a deal with download speeds fast enough for basic streaming and web browsing. However, much faster full fibre deals are now not much pricier.

    Pay attention to mid-contract price rises that might occur during your contract. Fixed price deals may end up being cheaper in the long-run.

  • Who is the best internet provider in Leicester?

    The best internet provider isn’t always the one that serves the fastest broadband. Not everyone needs the fastest speeds, and you could end up overpaying for a service you won’t use.

    We recommend carrying out a postcode search, then read around to find out more about that provider before you sign a contract. Our customer reviews and Trustpilot are a good place to check up on the finer details such as customer support, as is social media.

  • Are there any special broadband offers in Leicester right now?

    Yes! Many providers offer sign-up perks like gift vouchers or bill credits. Use our 'Broadband with Free Gifts' tool to find the latest offers.
