★Featured by AdeBT vs Virgin Media: the best UK broadband provider in 2026
Two names half the country defaults to when the contract runs out. One owns its cable network, the other reaches almost every front door. Here is how BT and Virgin Media actually stack up, and which one fits where you live.
Virgin Media O2 review: the fastest broadband, with trade-offs
Virgin Media O2 offers the fastest widely available broadband in the UK with gigabit across almost all of its network. This review weighs those speeds against post-contract price jumps, upload limits and cancellation friction.
BT review: reliable broadband at a premium price
BT broadband is reliable, available almost everywhere and backed by useful extras like Complete Wi-Fi. It also charges a premium for Openreach lines other providers sell cheaper. Our review covers speeds, prices, complaints and who BT actually suits.
Vodafone review: cheap, fast and surprisingly good
Vodafone is usually the cheapest big-brand full fibre with excellent kit and an Expert Reviews award. The catch is its Ofcom complaints record. Here is the honest verdict on whether it suits you.
Hyperoptic review: the FTTP specialist
Hyperoptic offers symmetric full-fibre speeds from 150Mb to 1Gb with cheap gigabit, strong customer scores and the UK's most generous social tariff. Coverage is the catch: the network mostly serves flats and new builds.
Sky review: the bundle question
Sky is solid broadband on its own and excellent broadband with TV. We weigh the bundle maths, the announced price rises with their 30-day exit, the CityFibre multi-gig tiers and Sky's strong complaints record.
