FasterBroadband is here to help households in Bexley save money on their broadband bills. We run the UK’s largest free comparison service dedicated to social broadband tariffs, discounted packages available to people on certain benefits. Our aim is simple: to make the internet more affordable, easier to understand, and accessible to everyone.
What the service does
The FasterBroadband social tariff comparison tool is a not for profit facility that brings together the latest broadband deals available to households receiving benefits. It allows you to quickly see which providers offer cheaper broadband packages in your area, what speeds are available, and how much you will pay each month.

Who is eligible for cheap broadband?

Employment and Support Allowance
Why social broadband tariffs matter
Broadband is no longer a luxury it is essential for everyday life, from job applications and homework to online shopping, paying bills, and keeping in touch with family. Yet many people are paying more than they need to because they don’t know that social tariffs exist.
Most providers keep these deals separate from their main broadband offers, so they can be hard to find. Our service puts all of this information in one place, helping households cut costs and stay connected without unnecessary stress.
Prices for social tariffs typically range between £10 and £23 a month. These packages usually come with unlimited broadband, no setup fees, and no early exit charges.
Broadband accessibility and inclusion
FasterBroadband has built in tools to support people who may face additional challenges. Our website includes features such as:
Large mouse pointers
Text resizing options
Reading line guides
Colour adjustments for visual comfort
These tools are designed to make the service easier to use for people with visual or cognitive needs.
Broadband support
Broadband contracts are full of technical terms that can be confusing. To help, FasterBroadband offer a large broadband technical support facility where you can search plain English explanations of words and phrases used by internet providers. This helps you understand the difference between terms such as ADSL, fibre, FTTC, and FTTP, so you know exactly what kind of service you are getting.
