- This Black Friday, two of our three favourite broadband providers are running great offers on their fibre contracts
- Vodafone is our favourite broadband provider overall: you can save £5-£6/mth on 150Mbits/sec, 500Mbits/sec and 910Mbits/sec full-fibre packages
- Virgin Media is our favourite provider for speed: its offering three months of free broadband with its M250, M500 and Gig1 plans
Black Friday is a great time to switch broadband provider. If you’re smart (and avoid 18-month contracts like the plague), you can kick off your contract in November and end it one or two years later at the same time, allowing you to hitch your wagon to an endless series of great Black Friday deals.
We’ve got two very similar deals available on two of our three top broadband providers (as per this year’s Expert Reviews broadband survey). Vodafone and Virgin Media are both offering fibre packages at a discount – Vodafone has slashed the price of its speediest plans, while Virgin Media is offering three months of free broadband on select contracts.
Every year, Expert Reviews surveys consumers to find out what they think about their broadband provider. Our favourite ISPs are chosen based on this information and our own research into Ofcom data – and as a result, you can trust that our recommendations are backed by real-world experiences. We will only recommend deals on providers that make our roundup of the best broadband providers.
Read on for our pick of the best Black Friday broadband deals from the providers that performed best in this year’s Expert Reviews Broadband Awards.
The best Black Friday broadband deals from our recommended providers
1. Virgin Media
- Black Friday deal info: Get three months free broadband when you sign up to M250, M500 and Gig1 plans or Entertainment/Sports Bundles
- Prices start at £25/mth for M250, rising to £29 in April 2026 and £33 in April 2027
Virgin Media is currently running the best Black Friday broadband deals event of the three providers we recommend in 2025. You can currently pick up one of Virgin’s most popular broadband-only packages and get the first three months of the contract for free.
To put it into real terms, that takes the total cost of the M250 package (assuming billing starts in November 2025) from £737 to £662 over two years. Virgin Media is already a surprisingly good-value service – but with this offer, it’s a genuine bargain.
Why choose Virgin Media this Black Friday?
Virgin Media is one of our top three broadband providers for 2025. It performed well in our annual survey, taking home first prize in the reliability category and impressing with high scores for speed. Some 79% of respondents were satisfied with their speeds, while 70% were satisfied with the reliability of the service.
If you’re interested in a broadband and TV bundle, you can also pick up the Entertainment Bundle (£37/mth, then £41 in April 2026 and £45 in April 2027) and the Sports Bundle (£57/mth, then £61 in April 2026 and £65 in April 2027) with three months free. Both come with 362Mbit/sec broadband plus over 200 channels and Netflix – the Sports Bundle also includes 9 Sky Sports channels.
Are there any drawbacks to Virgin Media?
As is often the way with larger ISPs, customer service is not one of Virgin Media’s strong suits. It ranked second-last in this category in our survey, with only 40% of customers satisfied with the way in which their complaints/questions had been handled. Only TalkTalk fared worse on this front.
2. Vodafone
- Black Friday deal info: Save £5-£6/mth on 150Mbits/sec, 500Mbits/sec and 910Mbits/sec full-fibre broadband.
- Prices start at £22/mth for 150Mbits/sec, rising to £25.50 in April 2026 and £29 in April 2027
Vodafone is offering a healthy selection of discounts on its full-fibre plans. To take an example, you can save £6/mth on the 150Mbits/sec plan, which means that over the course of the 24-month contract, you’ll be spending a total of £648 (assuming billing commences in November 2025). That’s down from £798 – a significant saving.
Why choose Vodafone this Black Friday?
Vodafone was named our overall winner in this year’s Broadband Awards, scoring well for customer service, speed and value for money. In our full Vodafone review, we noted that customers loved the low prices, strong commitment to customer support and reliable/speedy service. A scoreboard-topping 62% of customers were satisfied with the outcome of their interactions with Vodafone’s customer service, and a whopping 88% were satisfied with the speed of their connection.
Are there any drawbacks to Vodafone?
Reliability was the only stone in Vodafone’s shoe, although it still ranked among the top three providers on trial. In our survey, 66% of customers felt happy with the reliability of the service – which places Vodafone just below Virgin Media in the rankings.
