Switching Guide
Switching broadband with One Touch Switch
Moving to a new provider on a different network? Your new provider now handles the switch for you.

Under Ofcom’s One Touch Switch process, you only need to contact the provider you’re moving to — even if they use a different network. They will arrange the switch and the cancellation of your old service.
Before you switch
- Check whether you are still in a minimum contract period — early exit fees may apply.
- Compare the total contract cost, not just the first monthly price.
- Note your current account details and postcode.
On switching day
Your new provider should keep any loss of service to a minimum. If something goes wrong, contact your new provider first.
