About Three Home Broadband
Are you in short-term accommodation or splitting your time up between various locations? Do you need faster speeds but have limited fixed line broadband options at home? You've landed on the right page. Three’s Home Broadband is a great solution for you.

When you sign up to a Three broadband deal, you can be sure:

Three home broadband is sometimes referred to as ‘Home-Fi’. While 4G and 5G hubs are mobile Wi-Fi devices, they offer better range than a mobile dongle.
Their signal is powerful enough to connect entire homes and businesses. Unlike a mobile broadband dongle, there’s no need to carry the hub around with you.
Are you guaranteed fast speeds with Three Home Broadband?
Three Home Broadband relies on Three’s wireless network signal.
Coverage isn’t guaranteed across the country. Before you sign up, you should visit the Three Coverage Checker.
All Three deals come with a 30-day money-back guarantee. That gives you great peace of mind. We recommend making use of this if you’re not happy with the service you’re receiving.
Genie Tip: It’s possible to sign up to a Three Home Broadband deal on top of another broadband provider.
5G home broadband deals are available on a rolling one-month basis, 12-month contracts or longer 24-month deals. This could be a great option if you need more temporary set-up, or as an emergency back-up option.
Three's money-back guarantee
Great news! All Three Broadband deals come with a 30-day money-back guarantee and no-set up fee. This means you’re free to trial the service and make sure you’re getting good reception and decent speeds.
There’s truly unlimited data included on all packages, too.

What does 'truly unlimited data' mean?
You can download or stream as much as you want. There are no extra charges or limits.
Three eero mesh Wi-Fi
If your Three signal struggles in certain rooms, adding an eero mesh device can help boost coverage across your home.
You can use multiple mesh devices to create stronger signals around your home. This is useful if you have rooms or external spaces like garages that you need to extend your Wi-Fi to.
Each device can cover up to 1,500 square feet of Wi-Fi coverage.
Here are some handy guides. They can help you learn the differences between a Three 5G router, 4G hubs, outdoor hubs, and mesh Wi-Fi devices.
