About Fibrary
Fibrary is an independent information site about home broadband in the United Kingdom, with a focus on full fibre. It is written for people with no technical background: anyone moving home, nearing the end of a broadband contract, or who has just been told that full fibre is available in their street.
What you will find here
- Full fibre broadband explained: full fibre, part fibre, cable and copper compared, and what the difference means day to day.
- Broadband speeds explained: download, upload and latency, how much speed a household really needs, and how to test it properly.
- Who provides fibre broadband in the UK: the networks, the providers that sell over them, and how to check your address.
- How to choose and switch broadband: contracts, price rises, switching, social tariffs, compensation and complaints.
- Full fibre installation: what happens before and on the day, the equipment, permissions and your landline.
What we do not do
- We do not sell broadband and we are not a broadband provider, network or comparison site.
- We do not recommend providers or deals, and no provider pays to appear on the site.
- We carry no advertising, affiliate links, sponsored content or tracking.
Accuracy
Every guide shows the date its facts were last checked and lists its sources, which are mainly the regulator Ofcom, GOV.UK, the network operators and the providers themselves. Broadband rules and prices change, so always confirm the details with a provider before you sign up. Read more in our editorial policy.
The guides are general information, not legal or financial advice. For help with a specific problem, contact your provider first, then Citizens Advice or the provider's ombudsman scheme, as explained in how to complain.
