If you're working from home or run your business from home then you face a choice between a good home broadband deal or a business one. Quite a few home broadband providers also have packages for small businesses and home businesses, and the difference is largely in levels of support, and technical features like a static IP address. Here are the current best deals for both.

Best home broadband deals

These are your normal home broadband deals, but we've picked the two current best deals for you on the basis of how well they cope with typical home working tasks (video calling, file uploading and so on) and at the same time whether they're currently on sale or feature a special offer.

Best business broadband deals

Typically with a business broadband package at home you'll still be able to deliver Wi-Fi to the family for gaming, Netflix or anything else. The difference is, for your part, for your work, you're going to be able to fall back on much swifter fault resolution, along with a host of business-friendly features.

600Mbps is a serious amount of speed, and well-suited to small offices running lots of devices, cloud apps, or shared storage. It’s also going to cover businesses that send or receive large files fairly regularly – and if not, upgrading to the top speed is only a couple of clicks away.

Broadband deals for home working – what to look out for

If you work from home – whether full-time or a couple of days a week – the right broadband package makes a huge difference. You don’t just need speed, you need something that stays stable during video calls, uploads files quickly and doesn’t grind to a halt when the rest of the house is online. The good news is that most providers now offer packages well suited to home working, including faster upload speeds and better reliability than older copper connections.

That said, not every deal is ideal for a home office, so it’s worth knowing what to pay attention to before you sign up. Here’s what matters most:

  • Reliable speeds – Full Fibre is the gold standard for home working, with more consistent performance than older Standard Fibre lines. Even mid-range packages around 100–300Mbps are more than enough for video calls, cloud backups and multiple users
  • Good upload speeds – We hear a lot about download speeds, but uploads matter just as much when you’re sending large files or on video calls. Full Fibre packages tend to offer far better uploads than copper-based connections
  • Excellent Wi-Fi – A fast connection is pointless if your Wi-Fi can’t keep up. Look for routers with decent coverage, or consider mesh Wi-Fi if you work in a room that’s far from the main hub
  • Fixed-price term – Home workers depend on predictable costs. A fixed-price contract means no unexpected mid-contract rises, making it easier to budget
  • Service reliability – Some business-grade or premium packages include faster fault-fix times, which can be worth it if downtime means lost income
  • Data-heavy households – If you’re sharing with family or housemates, aim for a faster package so your work isn’t affected when everyone else is streaming or gaming
  • Extras and savings – Many deals include rewards such as bill credit or gift cards. Business packages sometimes add features like static IPs or priority support

If you’re relying on your broadband to earn a living, it’s worth choosing a package that gives you a bit of headroom. Full Fibre, decent upload speeds and solid Wi-Fi will make your working day feel far smoother and far less stressful.

Home versus business broadband packages – what’s the difference?

In a nutshell, home broadband is built for everyday use: streaming, browsing, gaming and the usual mix of devices. It’s fast and generally good value, but support is standard and fault fix times aren’t guaranteed. For most households, especially those on Full Fibre, that’s absolutely fine.

Business broadband, on the other hand, is designed for people who rely on their connection to work. You’ll often get faster fault resolution, priority support and sometimes the option of a static IP, which is useful for remote access or running certain services. It usually costs more, but if downtime means lost income – or you simply want extra reliability – the difference can be worth it. There are even people who, believe it or not, prefer a business broadband package for their home because of these useful features.
