Home broadband deals in Bath
The availability of fixed-line unlimited broadband in Bath depends on your exact location. This is more so the case than in other areas of the UK due to the comparatively small number of exchanges and the mix of services on offer at each.
The central Bath exchange is bang up to date with full fibre deals available on the Openreach and CityFibre networks, but others may have less options.
Unfortunately, only 39% of homes in the Bath area can sign up to a full fibre deal. Meanwhile, fewer than half can make use of Virgin Media's cable broadband.

What is Openreach?
Openreach is the company that maintains the former British Telecom Network used for the majority of broadband and phone services. If a repair or installation is required, it’s Openreach who will send an engineer, not your provider.
More than 650 service providers using the Openreach network. That’s the majority of the UK’s broadband providers. This includes Sky, TalkTalk and BT. The exception to this is Virgin Media - it uses its own, separate cable network.

Comparing mobile broadband in Bath
Mobile broadband coverage in and around Bath is reasonably good on all four network providers. 4G services are available throughout the city and surrounding locations on EE, Three, O2, and Vodafone. Meanwhile, EE and Three have expanding 5G coverage in the area.
One thing to keep in mind is that coverage for all networks does get a little patchy to the south of Bath. The geography of the area means you’ll likely run into spots where there's no signal.
Always confirm coverage before buying. Our guide to network coverage includes further information on this topic, and you can access the official network signal tools by clicking the logos here:
