At the heart of FasterBroadband’s work is a commitment to helping people overcome barriers to getting online whether financial, technical, or accessibility-related.
We specialise in comparing social broadband tariffs. Discounted deals available to people receiving government benefits, including Universal Credit, Pension Credit, Income Support, and others. Our not for profit comparison tool is free to use and provides clear, impartial information to help people understand their options without pressure or bias.
Our services cater for a wide range of users, including those who are less confident with technology. We host a large jargon search facility that explains broadband related terms in plain English helping to break down the complexity of broadband options , speeds, and connection types.
We also champion accessibility. The website includes tools such as large mouse pointers, text resizing, reading lines, and colour adjustments to support users with visual or cognitive needs.
FasterBroadband has been supporting the public since 2007 and continues to focus on helping individuals and households make sense of broadband choices especially those most at risk of digital exclusion.
