Broadband and TV deals are the perfect option for anyone looking to get the absolute best prices on both broadband deals and TV with a collection of promotions scoring you a major discount across the two.
Obviously, if TV is just an extra add-on you don't really feel like you need, regular broadband deals will be the best option for you. But if the likes of HD sports, Sky Cinema or the ability to rewind TV seem tempting to you, you're in the right place.
Not only will our price comparison tool above find you the cheapest prices, but we'll show you how buying a package broadband and TV deal will save you time and money.
BT and Sky Sports, movie channels, the latest US TV imports, 24/7 music - whatever your passion, there are TV packages to suit everybody. And whether you're content with a standard ADSL connection or require superfast fibre broadband, you'll be sure to end up with the combo to suit you with our price table. There are broadband and TV deals available from BT, Sky, Virgin Media, TalkTalk and NOW Broadband.

What broadband speed do I need?
What broadband speed do I need?
After you've chosen what TV channels you want, the next thing to decide is how much to splash on the broadband element of the deal. Very simply, the faster the connection, the higher the monthly tariff, with the cheapest rates on standard ADSL internet.
If you rely on the internet for streaming or downloading TV, films and music, then it makes sense to pay a few quid more a month and go for fibre broadband instead. Learn more about the different available broadband speeds and which you may need below.
0-25Mb The entry-level internet connection you can get is called ADSL, sometimes simply referred to as 'standard'. It delivers speeds of up to 17Mb, which equates to just over 2MB per second. It best suits small households who want to surf the web, handle their emails and stream non-4k catch-up TV.
25-50Mb Fibre broadband speeds start at up to 38Mb, so more than double what you get with standard ADSL. It's the sweet spot between fast speeds and good value and just the ticket for a family household where four or five members are all streaming, downloading and surfing at once.
50+Mb You need to crank up the speeds if you want to, say, stream 4K Ultra HD content TV and films. Most providers have speeds of 52MB and 76Mb, but only Virgin Media broadband can offer 100Mb and over - that's an incredible 12.5MB per second.
Can I get fibre broadband where I live?
If you think superfast broadband is what you need for your home, there may be a slight snag. Most households can now get it, but there's still around 10% of UK homes that still can't get it - and that rises to 40% where Virgin cable connections are concerned. So be sure to type in your postcode in our fibre broadband checker above to see whether superfast internet deals are available in your part of the country.
What contract length should I go for?
When it comes to broadband plans, most options will land for 18 months or 12, these are the two most common options. However, some absolute mavericks of the internet world offer other options like BT or Vodafone and their 24 month contracts and Virgin's optional 30-day (more expensive) rolling contracts.
Will I have to pay anything upfront for broadband and TV?
Afraid so. Unless you manage to catch one of the providers during one heck of a good promotional offer, you'll always have at least something to pay up front. This can include the costs of delivering the router and set-top TV internet box, but the likes of Virgin and BT also charge an activation or set-up fee.
Expect to pay at least £25 when you sign up for a TV and broadband deal, but it shouldn't cost you any more than around £70 at the outset.
BT broadband plans and speeds
BT Broadband | Average speeds of 10Mb

A middle ground for BT, the Fibre Essential package matches the average

Upgrade to Superfast Fibre 2 and crank the speed up to 67Mb. With both, you get the rangey BT Smart Hub router and a more bountiful Reward Card.

M350 fibre broadband | Average speeds of 362Mb Home broadband speeds in the UK don't come faster than those provided by Virgin's M350 fibre plan. It costs around £50 a month, but you get speeds of up to 45MB per second. Extremely rapid.
