Other broadband providers
We'd rather you had a good connection than no connection. If your roof can't see one of our masts, or you'd simply prefer a national provider, these are the realistic options in Queensbury and Thornton and the wider Bradford area.
Some of the links below are affiliate links. If you take out a package through one, we may receive a commission from that provider at no additional cost to you. It doesn't change who we list, what we say about them, or the order they appear in.

Availability up on the tops varies street by street, so it's worth checking two or three of these against your own postcode.
| Type | Best when | Watch out for |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed wireless (us) | You have a clear view towards our masts and copper is slow | Needs line of sight and a one-off £200 install |
| Full fibre (FTTP) | Fibre has reached your street — by far the fastest option | Coverage on the tops is patchy; check before assuming |
| Part-fibre (FTTC) | You're close to the green cabinet | Speed drops sharply the further out you are |
| Cable | Virgin Media has cabled your road | Only available where the cable network was laid |
| 4G / 5G home broadband | You need something today with no engineer visit | Speeds vary with mast load and indoor signal |
Before you switch
- Check whether your current contract still has an exit fee to pay.
- Look at the price after the introductory term, not just the headline.
- Confirm the speed estimate for your specific address, not the postcode average.
- If you work from home, ask about the upload speed as well as the download.
