About Us
Who are we?
BroadbandDeals.co.uk is an independent broadband comparison website owned and operated by Bonus Media Ltd, based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
The website was established in 2009 and acquired by Bonus Media Ltd in 2016. Since then, we’ve helped more than a million people explore broadband packages from UK providers.
Our aim is to make broadband comparison clearer and more useful. We help visitors compare not just the advertised monthly price, but also speeds, contract terms, scheduled price changes and other costs that can affect the value of a deal.
BroadbandDeals.co.uk is an Ofcom-accredited price comparison service.
How we compare broadband deals
We bring together advertised packages from participating broadband providers and display them in a comparison table, allowing visitors to narrow their options and compare deals on a consistent basis.
Our comparison service is designed to help you answer three questions:
- What’s available? Check which broadband providers and connection types may serve your postcode or address.
- What will it cost? Compare introductory prices, scheduled changes and the calculated costs of different contracts.
- Which package suits you? Filter and sort deals according to speed, contract length, price and included services.
Checking availability
Entering a postcode allows you to compare broadband offers relevant to your local area.
Where supported, you can also select your individual address for a more precise indication of network availability. Address-level results use external availability information and depend on the coverage data available for that property.
A postcode match doesn’t guarantee that every listed service can be installed at your home. Even address-level checks are indicative: the provider must confirm final availability, service eligibility and installation requirements before you order.
How broadband prices are calculated
Broadband deals aren’t always directly comparable by their headline monthly price.
Some have introductory discounts, scheduled price increases, setup charges or promotional rewards. A package with the lowest initial monthly payment may not be the cheapest over its full minimum contract period.
Our comparison system can display several pricing measures, depending on the information available for each deal:
- Initial monthly price: The advertised monthly charge at the start of the contract, including any applicable introductory offer.
- Average monthly cost: A calculated monthly equivalent of the included costs across the minimum contract period.
- First-year cost: The calculated cost over the first 12 months, using the applicable price schedule.
- Total contract cost: The calculated cost over the minimum contract term.
Where known and applicable, calculations take account of introductory pricing, scheduled monthly charge changes and relevant mandatory charges or guaranteed monetary credits.
Some charges or benefits cannot be represented consistently in every comparison. For example, conditional cashback, optional extras, out-of-bundle usage and installation work specific to an individual property may be excluded or shown separately.
Where future prices aren’t known with certainty, we identify the limitations or assumptions in the available calculation. Always check the provider’s full terms before placing an order.
For individual offers, the More details panel provides the applicable price schedule and calculation information.
Sorting and filtering results
You can filter comparison results by relevant features such as broadband speed, connection type, contract length, TV packages, inclusive calls and promotional benefits.
Available sorting methods include average monthly cost, initial monthly price, first-year cost, total contract cost and speed, where supported.
The default sorting method can differ between comparison pages, depending on the purpose of that page. The selected sorting method is shown with the results, and you can change it to suit your priorities.
Our comparison is intended to make meaningful differences between packages visible rather than present every deal as equally suitable for every household.
Keeping deal information up to date
We use automated data processing alongside manual review to maintain our broadband listings and pricing information.
When new or changed pricing information is processed, offers may require review before updated pricing is published. Our comparison system uses published pricing records rather than making up values for incomplete information.
We aim to keep information accurate and current, but broadband offers can change without advance notice. Providers may withdraw promotions, alter availability or apply eligibility conditions.
Please check the final offer details on the provider’s website before ordering. If you find an error in our comparison, you can contact us.
How we make money
BroadbandDeals.co.uk is free for visitors to use.
We have commercial arrangements with some broadband providers and may receive commission when someone purchases a service after following a link from our website.
We may also receive additional payments for clearly identified promotional placements. Where a deal appears in a sponsored position, it is labelled accordingly.
Outside separately identified promotional positions, commissions do not determine the ordering of comparison results. Ordinary sorting follows the selected comparison criteria.
These commercial arrangements do not add a separate BroadbandDeals.co.uk fee to the advertised prices.
Which providers and deals do we include?
We aim to give visitors a useful selection of broadband packages from national providers and smaller or regional networks.
However, we don’t list every provider or every tariff available in the UK. Some providers choose not to participate in comparison services, and others may not supply suitable or sufficiently reliable information for inclusion.
Our listings primarily focus on advertised consumer offers. We may not include legacy contracts, retention-only deals, every existing-customer promotion or every optional package add-on.
Some services are also subject to local network coverage or particular eligibility conditions.

Ofcom accredited price comparison
BroadbandDeals.co.uk is accredited under Ofcom’s voluntary price comparison accreditation scheme for broadband, landline and pay-TV services.
Ofcom’s accreditation process includes an independent audit of a comparison service’s accuracy, transparency, accessibility, comprehensiveness and the currency of its information.
This accreditation provides additional reassurance about how our comparison service operates. It doesn’t mean that Ofcom endorses individual broadband deals or guarantees that a particular package is right for every customer.
Limitations of our comparisons
Our calculations generally focus on the advertised package and the charges or benefits that can be compared reliably.
Depending on the offer, the comparison may exclude optional services, international calling, charges for usage outside an allowance, conditional rewards or costs that depend on work required at your property.
TV providers can offer numerous optional channels and add-ons. Our comparisons may show representative bundles rather than every possible combination.
When deciding between packages, always check the provider’s final price, full contract conditions and included services.
- We do not include legacy tariffs.
- Some providers offer cheaper deals for customers able to pay for their contracts upfront. We do not currently include these deals in results.
- We may not include all deals available to existing customers. These are added where providers make us aware of them.
- Deals which require a third-party landline are only displayed on provider pages, to avoid distorting comparison results.
- We aim to select the TV bundles that are of most interest to customers, so we include all base packages, but not all available add-ons – these can be selected on providers’ sites.
- Our calculations and results do not include call plans or add-on options for calls to international numbers. Where call plans are provided, these are normally limited to calls within the UK and to landlines. For more information refer to the call plan description by the provider.
- Any out of bundle charges such as call charges or data used beyond the allowance are excluded from the advertised prices and comparison calculations.
- We take great care to ensure our information is up to date, but like everyone we make errors, and sometimes we are not given notice of changes. If you find a deal is no longer available, please contact us.
Editorial independence and corrections
Alongside our comparison service, we publish broadband news, consumer advice, technical explanations and buying guides.
Our editorial content is intended to inform readers and help them make decisions about broadband and related services. Commercial relationships should not dictate editorial conclusions.
We aim to correct factual errors when they’re identified. If you believe something on the site is inaccurate or outdated, please contact us.
