Which broadband providers are in Huddersfield?
Huddersfield has a strong selection of broadband providers, giving residents access to a wide range of speeds, packages and pricing options.
Virgin Media
Virgin Media offers some of the fastest broadband speeds in Huddersfield, with packages reaching up to 1Gbps thanks to its own cable network. It’s a popular choice for larger households or anyone needing consistent high-speed connectivity for streaming, gaming, or working from home. Virgin Media often bundles broadband with TV and phone services, making it ideal for customers looking for an all-in-one deal.
Sky
This household name in broadband, TV, and entertainment, offers a range of fibre packages through the Openreach network. Customers in Huddersfield can expect reliable performance, flexible contract lengths, with the option to bundle with Sky’s TV services. Speeds range from standard fibre up to full fibre in many parts of the city, making it a solid all-rounder for most homes.
BT
BT is one of the UK’s biggest broadband providers and has widespread availability across Huddersfield via the Openreach network. Known for reliability and extensive customer support, BT offers a variety of broadband packages including full fibre options with speeds up to 900Mbps. BT is also a good choice for customers who want added extras like BT Sport or enhanced parental controls.
Vodafone
Vodafone has become an increasingly popular choice for broadband in Huddersfield, offering competitive pricing and high-speed fibre packages. It uses the Openreach network and, in some areas, CityFibre, which allows for even faster full fibre connections. Vodafone often includes discounts for existing mobile customers, making it a good choice if you're already using them for your phone plan.
Plusnet
Plusnet is a budget-friendly provider with a reputation for strong UK-based customer service. Operating on the Openreach network, Plusnet offers simple, straightforward broadband packages with no-frills pricing. While it doesn’t always offer the fastest speeds on the market, it's a dependable and cost-effective option for smaller households or light internet users in Huddersfield.
NOW Broadband
NOW Broadband offers flexible broadband plans with no long-term contract, making it perfect for renters, students, or anyone wanting a shorter commitment. Powered by the Sky network, NOW provides standard and fibre packages at competitive rates.
Onestream
Slightly lesser-known than the others, but Onestream has been growing in popularity thanks to its low-cost full fibre deals. Using the Openreach network, Onestream offers fast broadband at affordable prices, making it a viable alternative to the big names. While extras may be more limited, it’s worth considering if you're looking for value-focused full fibre options in Huddersfield.
This small, independent provider offers fast, flexible, affordable full fibre. With 30-day contract options and prices that start from £23, there's a lot to like about 4th Utility for those who have access. Their broadband comes through the CityFibre network which has really flourished in this area and is now available to about 90% of Huddersfield.
Lit Fibre is everything you'd expect from an alternative network. It offers full fibre speeds of up to 1 gig – this will increase to 2.5Gb soon, too – that are all symmetrical (upload is just as fast as download). And unlike most of the bigger mainstream providers it gives a guarantee of no mid-contract price hikes. Like 4th Utility above, their broadband comes through the CityFibre network.
Even its slowest package has a very healthy average speed of 50Mbps. And despite being fast paced it also offers really good prices. Another big draw is that it also comes with a flexible rolling contract for those not looking to lock-in. You’ve just got to hope that your postcode falls under a Hyperoptic network, it’s currently only available to about 5% of Huddersfield, mainly in the more central areas.
