Westdene, Hollingbury, and Hollingdean enjoy comprehensive full-fibre coverage, though Westdene and Hollingdean have fewer altnet options. Central Brighton, Hove, and Brunswick benefit from excellent full-fibre availability and good AltNet competition, particularly in Brunswick and central areas.

Whitehawk, Kemptown, and Brighton Marina Village have reliable full-fibre coverage, with Whitehawk and Kemptown also served by CityFibre. Portslade by Sea and Southwick offer good coverage across both traditional full-fibre and CityFibre networks, while Woodingdean and Ovingdean face more limited options overall.

Brighton and Hove achieves 92% gigabit availability despite full-fibre coverage sitting below the national average, thanks largely to Virgin Media’s extensive cable network compensating for a slower full-fibre rollout. The city’s altnet figure of 19.5% is notably low for a major urban area, meaning independent provider competition remains limited and most residents choose between established national brands rather than benefiting from the competitive pricing alternative networks often deliver.
With only 0.5% of properties still reliant on basic copper broadband, nearly all house-hunters will find decent options available, though checking specific postcode availability remains essential given the considerable variation between neighbourhoods.

For basic connectivity needs, Three offers the most affordable entry point at £16 per month for 10Mbps speeds over their 5G home broadband service. Most households will want faster speeds for multiple devices, so it’s worth comparing mid-tier packages from providers available at your specific address.
Competition levels vary significantly between neighbourhoods, making postcode checks essential for finding the best value.
Sky delivers the fastest residential speeds available in Brighton and Hove at 5,000Mbps for £80 per month, though this premium service is only available on the CityFibre network in select neighbourhoods like Coldean, Bevendean, Kemptown, and Whitehawk.
Most areas can access gigabit speeds (900-1,000Mbps) through either Virgin Media or mainstream full-fibre providers, which proves sufficient for even the most demanding households.
