A friendly walk-through of speed, contract length and connection type
Unsure whether you need gigabit speeds or just a dependable line for streaming and video calls? Say how long you are staying, who is online and what the home already has. You get a handful of explained options and trade-offs to look into, followed by the official postcode check that confirms what you can order.
Why we ask
What decides the right internet plan for you
Most people overpay for internet in one of two ways: buying more speed than the household uses, or signing a long contract for a short stay. The finder asks about the four things that actually decide the right plan, and leaves out the marketing.
Your stay
The length of your lease decides whether flexibility or a discount saves more.
Your household
People and activities at peak time decide the download and upload you need.
Your budget
The price you are comfortable with decides how much headroom makes sense.
Speed guide
How much internet speed do you need?
Speed needs depend on how many people are online at the busiest moment and what they do. Streaming mainly uses download, while video calls, cloud backups and sending files rely on upload. Use this guide to size a plan, and remember that fibre is often symmetric while cable and DSL upload is much lower.

Power users and creators
Large game downloads, home servers and uploading big files.

Ranges include headroom for several devices at once. Wi-Fi in large or thick-walled homes can limit speed more than the plan does.
Questions
The internet finder: common questions
How the recommendation works and what to do with your results.
How does the internet finder choose plans?
It sizes your download and upload need from the household and activities you pick, keeps only plans for the connection at your address and your must-haves, then ranks them on speed fit, contract length versus your stay, budget and price.
Is the speed recommendation accurate?
It is a sensible estimate with headroom for the busiest evening, not a guarantee. Real speeds depend on your line, your Wi-Fi and how many devices run at once. If you often work with large files, choose the next tier up.
Do I really need gigabit internet?
Most households do not. A gigabit line helps large households, gamers and people who move huge files, but for streaming and video calls a few hundred Mbps is plenty. Upload speed often matters more than a bigger download number.
What internet should I get for a short stay?
Look for monthly cancellable plans, which the finder favours when you choose a stay under six months. A 5G router can also work well because it needs no installation, as long as reception at the address is good.
What should I do after getting my matches?
Open the best matches to read the fine print, compare your top three on total cost over your stay, then use the provider's postcode check to confirm the plan is available at your exact address before ordering.
Want to see the options behind your answers?
Open the comparison to check speeds, contract terms and extra costs for plans you like, or use the search filters to browse the full list. Your provider's postcode check then confirms what your address supports.

Line up to four plans and see the total cost over your stay, upload and download speeds, contract terms and one-off fees in one table.
