What does business broadband actually cost?An honest pricing guide.
Business broadband pricing depends on your speed, your postcode, your contract length, your contention, and what you bundle with it. Here's how to think about it — and what it would cost for your business.
Why business broadband pricing isn't a single number.
Every business broadband quote depends on six things: the speed you actually need, the technology available at your postcode, contention (shared or dedicated), contract length, what you bundle with it, and whether failover is included. A 50Mbps FTTP line in central Wolverhampton for a 10-person office costs a different amount than 1Gbps for a multi-site retail group — and quoting a fixed number for either would be misleading. The honest answer is indicative ranges plus a tailored review.
Indicative ranges for UK business broadband.
These are typical starting points across the UK. Your actual quote depends on availability, contract length and what you bundle.
Entry-level FTTP
From £35/month · 75-150Mbps
Small office, 1-5 staff, basic email + cloud apps
Standard FTTP
From £55/month · 150-500Mbps
Most SMBs, 5-25 staff, VoIP + cloud apps + card machines
Premium FTTP
From £80/month · 500Mbps-1Gbps
Growth-stage business, heavy cloud, multi-site or video-heavy operations
Leased line (dedicated)
From £350/month · 100Mbps-10Gbps symmetric
Mission-critical operations, contractual SLAs, no contention
These ranges are indicative. The exact figure depends on postcode availability, contract length, and whether failover or phones are bundled.
Six factors that shape your actual quote.
Why a quote that fits is more useful than a quote that's the cheapest.
Postcode availability
FTTP is now in over 70% of UK postcodes, but the wholesale rate varies by area. Some postcodes have multiple infrastructure providers; some have one. We check yours before quoting.
Speed and contention
Faster speeds cost more. Dedicated (non-contended) bandwidth costs significantly more than shared FTTP. We help you choose the right tier — not the most expensive one.
Contract length
12, 24, 36 and 60-month terms are common. Longer terms reduce monthly cost. We can advise based on your business plans — no pressure to lock in for longer than you need.
What you bundle
Bundling phones, AI Receptionist, WiFi or failover with broadband typically reduces the total bill versus separate suppliers.
Failover and SLAs
4G/5G failover, business SLAs and uptime guarantees add to the base broadband price. For some businesses these are essential; for others they're over-spec.
Install requirements
Most installs are straightforward. Multi-site, structured cabling, or new-build connections cost extra and need a site survey.
What to look for beyond the headline price.
Most business broadband quotes you'll see online are FTTP wholesale prices. The real difference between providers isn't the underlying fibre (it's usually Openreach) — it's the support, contract terms, and what's included in the monthly bill.
Switching from BT, Virgin or another provider.
Most major-provider contracts have CPI/service clauses you can use as exit grounds. Or we can install alongside your existing service so it stays live until your contract ends. Either way, send us your current renewal or recent bill — we'll review it and tell you honestly where we can simplify and where we can't.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a fixed price online without speaking to anyone?
We don't believe that's the right approach for business broadband. A fixed online price either over-charges customers in postcodes with cheap wholesale rates, or under-quotes ones that need a more complex install. We do a 30-second postcode check and come back with an honest, tailored quote within 2 hours during business hours.
Is it cheaper to bundle phones and AI with broadband?
Usually yes — for two reasons. First, we discount bundles. Second, you save on per-bill admin and avoid the support handover headache between separate suppliers. The exact saving depends on your setup; happy to model it for you.
How much should a typical UK SMB expect to pay?
Most UK SMBs (5-50 staff, single site, no dedicated leased line) settle in the £45-£90/month range for broadband alone, or £100-£250/month for a fully-bundled setup (broadband + phones + AI + WiFi). Multi-site and larger businesses run higher. Send us your requirements and we'll model it precisely.
What's the difference between business and consumer broadband?
Three things: contention (business broadband is usually less contended at peak), SLAs (business comes with response guarantees, consumer doesn't), and contract terms (business broadband cannot be cancelled the same way consumer can). The actual fibre is identical.
Do I need to sign a long contract?
No. 12-month terms are widely available. We don't push 36-month contracts as a default — they make sense for some businesses and not others. We'll explain the trade-off.
Can you help me get out of my current contract?
Often yes. Many major-provider contracts have CPI/service clauses that allow exit. We don't promise this universally — but we'll look at your contract honestly and tell you what's possible.
What if I'm a brand-new business with no current setup?
Even better — we tailor a clean install around what your business actually needs, with no migration complexity. Tell us what you're starting and we'll spec the right setup from day one.
Want a proper quote for your business?
Cost ranges only get you so far. Send us what you actually need — users, sites, current setup — and we'll quote against your specific operation. No hard sell, no fixed-package pressure.
