Broadband coverage checker tool

What Is a Broadband Coverage Checker?

A broadband coverage checker, or availability checker, is a tool that shows you which broadband providers and technologies are available at your specific home address, just from your postcode. Rather than visiting each provider's website individually, our tool queries multiple networks in a single lookup, so you can see full fibre (FTTP), standard fibre (FTTC), Virgin Media cable and alternative network (altnet) options all at once.
Switch's broadband availability checker covers all major Openreach-based providers — BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Plusnet, EE and Vodafone — as well as Virgin Media's independent cable network and major altnets including Hyperoptic, CityFibre, Zen Internet and Giganet. Results include the maximum advertised download speed for each available technology at your postcode, so you can compare options before choosing a deal.

Broadband Technologies We Check

Our checker covers all four main connection types available in the UK.

Full Fibre (FTTP): Up to 1,000 Mbps

Fibre-to-the-premises. The fastest and most reliable technology, a fibre-optic cable runs directly to your home with no copper involved. Ideal for families and remote workers.

Fibre Broadband (FTTC): Up to 80 Mbps

Fibre-to-the-cabinet. Fibre reaches your street cabinet, then copper wire runs to your home. Speed varies by distance from the cabinet. The most common type in the UK.

Cable (Virgin Media): Up to 1,130 Mbps

Virgin Media's cable network delivers very fast speeds independently of Openreach. Available in around 60% of UK homes, primarily urban and suburban areas.

SOGEA / ADSL: Up to 24 Mbps

Copper-based connections using the old telephone network. Being phased out by Openreach by December 2027. Only remains in areas with no fibre upgrade yet.

How to Check Broadband Availability at Your Address

Four simple steps: no account, no personal details required.

1Step

Enter Your Postcode

Type your full UK postcode into the checker and press 'Check now'. No name, email or personal details are required — just the postcode.

2Step

View Available Technologies

See which broadband types are available at your address: FTTP (full fibre), FTTC (standard fibre), Virgin Media cable or SOGEA. Each is clearly labelled with the technology and maximum speed.

3Step

Compare Providers and Speeds

For each available technology, see which providers offer service and what maximum speeds you can expect. FTTP results include multiple providers where the altnet or Openreach network is present.

4Step

Switch to a Better Deal

Choose your preferred deal and Switch handles the rest. Switching typically takes 2–4 weeks. You will receive updates throughout, your broadband stays live until the new connection is confirmed.

PSTN switch-off and full fibre rollout UK

The PSTN Switch-Off: Why Checking Coverage Matters Now

Openreach is retiring the copper telephone network (PSTN) by December 2027. If your current broadband runs on an ADSL or FTTC connection over copper, you will need to upgrade to a digital alternative before this date. Our coverage checker helps you identify whether full-fibre (FTTP) or SOGEA is already available at your address, giving you time to plan your upgrade at a competitive price.
Checking your coverage now also helps you time your switch for maximum savings. Full-fibre rollout is accelerating rapidly, with Openreach targeting coverage of 25 million premises. Many homes that couldn't access FTTP six months ago can now. Run the checker periodically to catch when faster options arrive at your postcode, then switch before demand drives prices up.

30+ Providers Checked in One Lookup

Our checker covers all major UK broadband networks. Openreach-based: BT, Sky, TalkTalk, Plusnet, EE, Vodafone and NOW Broadband. Independent networks: Virgin Media (cable), Hyperoptic, CityFibre, Zen Internet, Shell Energy Broadband, John Lewis Broadband, Giganet, KCOM and more. Coverage data is updated regularly so results reflect the latest network rollout.

Because altnets like Hyperoptic and CityFibre build their own full-fibre infrastructure, availability can vary street by street, even within the same postcode. Our checker shows all options confirmed for your specific postcode so there are no surprises.
