BT Broadband Deals

About BT

With over 160 years in the industry, BT is the UK’s first, oldest and largest telecoms and broadband provider.

It is now one of the ‘big four’ providers alongside Sky, TalkTalk and Virgin Media, providing internet, phone and TV services to more than 90% of the UK. BT alone has more over 7.5 million customers.

BT offers a wide range of broadband deals, from ADSL to fibre and full fibre broadband, with speeds ranging from 36Mbps to 900Mbps. As the provider owns Openreach, the company that maintains and operates most telephone lines and exchanges in the UK, BT's services are available in most postcodes.

Many will know BT for its TV offering, which is now known as EE TV since the two providers merged. BT broadband customers can add many TV services to their package, including TNT Sports (previously BT Sport), NOW Cinema and Netflix.

TV packages

BT is a great provider for those looking for a broadband and TV package. The provider merged with EE in 2023, and its TV offering is now known as EE TV.

BT Sport, which football fans will know was once the exclusive broadcaster of the Champions League and Europa League in the UK, is now known as TNT Sports, and can be added on to BT broadband packages.

The following EE TV packages can be added on to BT broadband:

• Entertainment, including 22 channels from NOW Entertainment, a Netflix Standard with adverts plan and a discovery+ Basic subscription
• Big Entertainment, including everything in the Entertainment package and every Sky Cinema channel and NOW Cinema
• Sport, including 4 TNT Sports channels and a discovery+ Premium subscription
• Big Sport, including everything in the Sport package plus 12 Sky Sports channels and a discovery+ Premium subscription
• Full Works, including everything by NOW Entertainment, NOW Cinema, TNT Sports and Netflix Standard

BT broadband speeds

BT provides different types of broadband, which determine your broadband speed. Measured in megabits-per-second (Mbps), this speed determines how fast or slow your streaming and downloading will be. 

The provider does have some standard ADSL broadband deals, which uses the same copper cables as telephone lines, but these are gradually being phased out in favour of fibre or full fibre deals, so we wouldn't recommend opting for one.

Fibre broadband, or fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC), also uses these copper cables to the nearest exchange, then fibre optic cables to your home. Speeds for this kind of connection tend to range between 35 and 50Mbps.

BT also offers full fibre packages, which run entirely on fibre optic cables and have average speeds over 100Mbps. Unfortunately, the availability of these packages is more limited, but infrastructure is being rolled out across the UK to widen its reach.

Note that not every postcode will be able to access every type of broadband, but thanks to its ownership of the Openreach network, most of the UK has access to standard ADSL or fibre broadband from BT. 

For more detailed information on BT's fibre offerings and how they differ, see our BT fibre deals explained & compared page.

Benefits of a BT broadband package:

There are many benefits to getting a BT broadband package. Let’s take a quick look at the highlights.

Smart Hub

Exclusive to BT and available for free for all new BT Superfast Fibre customers, the Smart Hub router is an impressive piece of kit designed to give your household fast and reliable wireless internet connection.

These are its key features:

• Seven carefully positioned antennae, ideally situated for optimum Wi-Fi performance
• Smart channel selection, ensuring all devices in the home connect automatically to the fastest available Wi-Fi channel.
• Smart scan feature, which constantly monitors the hub’s performance and reboots if it detects a problem.

If you sign up to BT Superfast Fibre with Complete Wifi or BT Ultrafast Fibre Plus, then you get the advanced Smart Hub 2. You can also purchase these hubs independently.

Complete Wifi

Available to both new and existing BT customers for an additional £10 a month, Complete Wifi uses the Smart Hub 2 together with additional Wi-Fi discs to guarantee strong signal in every room of the home.

Initially customers receive just one disc, which BT claims can increase speeds by 25% in the average 4-bedroom home. However, if you still have “not spots”, BT will send up to two additional discs for free. So confident are they in the success of this tech, that if after three months you’re still not satisfied, you will be refunded £100.

Antivirus

Every single BT broadband deal comes with antivirus software as standard. Standard and Superfast broadband customers will get this protection for up to two devices, but Fibre with Halo 2 users can install it on up to 15 devices; ideal for a large family.

With BT Virus Protect, you get:

• A personal firewall, to keep hackers away from your computer
• A virus scan, to protect against spyware, adware, Trojans and other viruses
• A site advisor, to alert you if the website you’re attempting to access is hiding dangerous content
• Parental controls, to allow admins to block access to specific websites or keywords

Free e-mail service

When you sign up to a BT broadband package, you immediately get the option to set up a BT mail account. This gives you access to a personal address ending in @btinternet.com that you can access anywhere in the world, up to 10 additional email accounts for friends and family, and advanced antivirus email security.

Cloud Storage

All BT broadband deals come with free cloud storage as standard, which enables you to store documents and photos safely on the cloud, and access them from anywhere. Most packages come with 200GB cloud storage, with more advanced packages giving you 1TB. There’s also the option to add additional BT cloud storage for a small fee.

High customer satisfaction

In Ofcom's May 2025 report into mobile, home broadband and landline providers' customer service, BT was among the highest-rated broadband providers in terms of overall satisfaction with its service. 

How to get a BT broadband deal with usave

If you've decided BT is the right provider for your household, the next steps couldn't be simpler. To take out a BT broadband deal, simply follow these three steps:

1. Enter your postcode into the free postcode checker at the top of this page to see which BT broadband deals are available in your area.
2. Compare the packages on offer, filtering them in terms of speed, add-ons and contract length. 
3. Choose the best package for your household's needs and click on "View deal" to be taken to BT's website. From there, simply follow the checkout instructions and you'll be on your way to a new broadband connection!

If you already have broadband with a different provider on the Openreach network, BT will notify your old provider that you are leaving on your behalf. If you don't currently have broadband, or it's on another network (for example, Virgin Media or Hyperoptic), you will have to notify your old provider yourself.

Do note that exiting a broadband contract before the end of its term could mean you incur early termination fees, so it's best to wait until the end of your contract period before switching to BT broadband. 

BT broadband deals for existing customers

If you’re currently a BT customer but your contract is coming to an end or it’s ended already, then you should be looking for a new package, either with a new provider or with BT. This is because once your contract finishes, you’ll be switched to out-of-contract rates, which can be as much as 33% more expensive than what you’re paying now. 

When searching for a broadband deal with usave, both existing customers and new customers should be offered the same packages from BT. However, existing BT customers could find exclusive deals by logging in to their online account via their BT ID, and seeing what’s on offer.
