Helpful Tips for Getting Broadband in Westminster

Whether you're moving to Westminster or looking to switch providers, these tips will help you make the best broadband choice for your household.

1. Always Check Your Exact Address

While Westminster has 85% full fibre coverage overall, availability can vary street by street. Before committing to any deal, use each provider's postcode checker to confirm exactly which services and speeds you can get at your property.

2. Match Your Speed to Your Needs

Don't overpay for speeds you won't use. Based on typical household usage in England:

  • 1-2 people: 30-67 Mbps handles HD streaming and video calls
  • 3-4 people: 100-300 Mbps for multiple 4K streams and gaming
  • 5+ people or power users: 500+ Mbps for busy households

Use our speed guide to calculate your exact requirements.

3. Consider Upgrading to Full Fibre

With 85% full fibre availability in Westminster, there's a good chance you can upgrade from part-fibre (FTTC) to full fibre (FTTP). Full fibre offers:

  • More reliable speeds that don't slow down during peak times
  • Better upload speeds for video calls and cloud backups
  • Future-proof technology as more services move online

Learn more about the difference between FTTC and FTTP.

4. Save Money on Your Broadband

Broadband prices in Westminster vary significantly between providers. To get the best deal:

  • Never auto-renew: Out-of-contract prices can be 40-60% higher
  • Check altnet providers: Local full fibre providers often beat big brands on price
  • Consider broadband-only: Skip the landline if you only use mobile phones

Read our guide on saving money on broadband bills.

5. Switching is Easier Than You Think
