But you can check broadband availability in your area on the Boost Your Broadband website.
What else you can do
You might be able to get superfast broadband (speeds of 24mbps or more), so check what speeds are available with your internet service provider.
You can also check that you're getting the best deal on your broadband.
Get even faster broadband
Full fibre broadband (also known as FTTP), which brings fibreoptic cable right to your premises, would offer you even faster speeds than what is currently available. The Government provides gigabit voucher schemes to help those not currently in plans to receive a full fibre broadband connection to upgrade. This process may take months or even years.
