UK Broadband Picker

The one-touch switch rule

Since September 2024, the UK operates a One Touch Switch system, you only need to contact your new provider to switch, they handle the disconnection with your old one. No more double-paying during the transition. This means picking the right broadband is low-risk. If the deal is not working, switch again in a few months.

Who pays and how to split

Put the bill in one housemate's name and split it via our bills splitter. Do not try to get it in the landlord's name unless they are offering broadband as part of the tenancy, it creates disputes later.
