What’s available in Swindon?
Swindon has a mix of fibre-to-the-cabinet (FTTC) and full fibre (FTTP) in many areas. Availability varies by street. Use provider and comparison site postcode checkers to see which packages you can get. Full fibre often offers higher speeds and sometimes similar or better value than older copper-based services.
What to compare
Look at: download and upload speed (especially if you work from home or stream), monthly cost, contract length (12, 18, 24 months), setup or activation fees, and whether line rental is included. Check the small print for price rises after the initial term. Some deals include TV or phone – only pay for what you need.
Switching
If you’re switching provider, the new one usually manages the process. You may need to keep your current service until the switch date. Give notice to your current provider if required. For current deals and availability, use comparison sites and provider websites – we don’t list specific tariffs as they change often.
Check mobile coverage too
