Three Home Broadband is different to all other providers because of how it gets internet into your home – via a mobile phone network. Rather than fixed fibre-optic cables it just needs a mobile signal to deliver your broadband. This can be a great alternative option especially if you don't have access to full fibre yet.

This service by one of the UK's leading mobile providers lets you get online through a 4G or 5G network to enjoy fibre speeds without a physical cable network. No landline is needed. No engineer visit will be required. It really is just a case of plugging in a hub and off you click.

Three broadband plans

Your options depend on whether your home falls under Three’s 4G or 5G network signal.

4G

With average download speeds of 70Mbps, this unlimited data package it’s a decent plan for browsing and streaming in small households.

5G

This unlimited data package has an average download speed of 150Mbps at peak times. Ideal for those uploading large content, streaming and online gaming.

5G Outdoor Home Broadband

This plan also offers average download speeds of 150Mbps, but with the added benefit of an external antenna that mounts outside your home to capture a stronger 5G signal. The signal is then transmitted indoors via a Wi-Fi 6 router, providing faster and more consistent speeds – ideal for homes where indoor coverage is weak or unreliable.

What router do you get with Three Home Broadband?

There are two different routers sent to connecting customers, which you get will depend on your local network signal.

For 5G customers

The Zyxel NR5103E Wi-Fi router

This powerful bit of kit is designed to get the most from your 5G capabilities. Compliant with the latest Wi-Fi 6 technology, you’re really future proofing with this router. Remember though, that although the specs are powerful – 4.7Gbps! – the speeds you’ll actually be able to experience will be a lot lower due to network coverage and congestion.

• Peak download speeds: 4.7Gbps
• Peak upload speeds: 2.3Gbps
• Wi-Fi 6 technology including 11ax standard
• Ethernet ports: 2
• USB ports: 3
• Bluetooth 5.1
• Slots for external antennae

For 4G customers

The ZTE MF286D Wi-Fi router

For those still out of reach of 5G, this 4G hub puts in effort to get the best speeds possible.

• Peak download speeds: 600Mbps
• Peak upload speeds: 100Mbps
• Max connected devices: 64
• Ethernet ports: 4
• USB port: 1
• Bluetooth 5.1
• Slots for external antennae

Switching to Three Home Broadband is easy

Want to switch? You can be up and running by the next day.

It is refreshingly simple. No engineer is needed, no landline is required, you only have to wait for your hub which will be sent next-day delivery to you. Then it’s just the case of plugging it in, adding the SIM card into the router and you’re ready to click away.

Test the router in different positions. The recommended place is high and by a window, so an upstairs windowsill would be a good place to start from.

Price increases

Some broadband providers may increase monthly prices in line with the retail or consumer price index each year during the length of your contract. Please refer to individual broadband provider's terms and conditions before signing up.
