Black Friday broadband deals

What is Black Friday?
A late November sales bonanza borrowed from the Americans, Black Friday has emerged as one of the best days of the year to nab deals on everything from appliances to fragrances to broadband contracts.
In 2023, Black Friday falls on 24 November. After a subdued day last year, retailers are pulling out all the stops, slashing prices, offering cashback, matching competitors’ prices, and throwing in giveaways too. Look for unbeatable bargains on broadband and mobile contracts, TVs, gaming consoles, tablets, toys, Christmas gifts and home goods.
What is Cyber Monday?
Cyber Monday is Black Friday’s digital twin, traditionally the day when online retailers get in on the action. The distinction between the two days has worn away as online shopping has become dominant. But some major retailers like Amazon still reserve their best deals for Monday.
This year, Cyber Monday falls on 27 November.
Black Friday broadband deals
Black Friday is the best day of the year to switch broadband providers and lock in bargains that will save you money for months to come. Competing for your contract, ISPs slash their monthly prices, waive upfront fees, throw in months for free and hand out electronics and gift cards.
So, what are the best Black Friday broadband deals on offer this year? Let’s take a look at some of the UK’s major providers’ promotions in 2023:
BT
This year, BT is offering FREE broadband for the first three months of your contract across all of its packages, except for Fibre Essential. This can result in significant savings of up to £150 (on the BT Full Fibre 900 package).
On top of this, BT has slashed the price of its Sport packages to just £1 per month for the first three months of your contract. This means the Sport + Fibre 2 package, usually £50.99 a month, is available for the initial bargain price of just £1 per month!

How do I find the best deal on Black Friday?
Black Friday can be overwhelming, with retailers shouting amazing deals at you from every direction. How do you find the best deal on broadband for your household? Here are a few tips:
- Consider what you want: Before you get swept away by the shiniest sale, take a step back and figure out your priorities. Do you want superfast or ultrafast broadband? Any TV channels? A sports package? Hundreds of pounds off a massive broadband and TV bundle doesn’t make sense if you don’t want all the channels it offers and you get locked into high monthly bills for years. The deals available might encourage you to upgrade for less money than you thought, but don’t spring for a package that doesn’t suit you.
- Consider extras: Black Friday is a great time to bag gifts with your broadband contract. A gift card can reduce the overall cost, while extras like a new TV can be a great present for under the tree. Peruse the extras on offer but, again, don’t sign a years-long broadband contract just to get the freebie.
- Shop around: Black Friday can inspire a frenzy - think of those people on news reports throwing punches over discounted microwaves - but it’s the considered shopper who finds the best savings. Before you commit to a broadband contract, check out what the competitors are offering. Running a broadband comparison search can show you all the bargains available on one page.
- Plan ahead: Broadband providers often tease their deals in the days before Black Friday. These sneak peeks can let you make a road map before the madness starts.
