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.

What’s the best broadband provider in Norwich?
New customers and those switching will have plenty of choice to find a better broadband service. There are many different types of broadband available to suit all budgets; from basic ADSL broadband that relies on a traditional phone line, to high speed, fast fibre-optic deals for heavier online users.
We recommend carrying out a search for your exact address. Did you know that even homes on the same street might not have access to the same internet services?
If you’re keen to get the best value for your money, it can be a good idea to sort the results by ‘monthly cost (low to high)’. And don't forget to look out for any special offers and gift cards for new customers.
If any price increases have been confirmed by the provider, you can find these details by expanding the ‘offer details and pricing’ section.

How much will my broadband go up by?
Many of the big name providers, such as BT, Vodafone, EE, Virgin Media, TalkTalk, NOW, Plusnet and Sky raise their prices every spring.
In 2026, the average price rise from April will be around £4.
If you sign up for a 24-month contract, it’s likely you’ll be paying around £8 more per month in the final months of your deal. Sounds unfair, right?
This is why it’s so important to switch or renegotiate your deal at the end of your contract, so you can counteract these price hikes and start a clean slate.

Comparing mobile broadband in Norwich
Norwich is well catered for when it comes to mobile broadband, although some mobile networks offer better coverage than others. You should be able to receive a strong 4G signal wherever you are in the city centre. But venture out towards the outskirts, including the airport, and you’re likely to fall back to 3G. EE will currently offer you the strongest 5G coverage, although Three also offers a decent service.
You might also like to consider Three’s 4G or 5G home broadband deals. Unlike other home broadband packages, these won’t require any fixed line, its routers are ‘plug and play. The lack of any installation could be an excellent option if you live in rented accommodation and don’t want to (or can’t) get permission for broadband installation from your landlord.
Before buying any mobile deal, you should confirm coverage for yourself. Click the logos below to access the official network signal check tools:
