How Good is Broadband in Derry?
Derry enjoys excellent broadband coverage with full fibre available to 96% of premises and gigabit speeds reaching 97%. The city is well served by 14 providers, though coverage patterns vary by neighbourhood.
Waterside benefits from strong coverage across most technologies, with both FTTP and Virgin Media widely available. Rosemount, Foyle Springs and Creggan have extensive alternative network coverage from providers like YouFibre and Fibrus, often delivering competitive pricing.
Galliagh, Skeoge and Hazelbank see more limited Virgin Media availability, though FTTP options remain strong. Skeoge contains some properties with speeds below 24Mbps, making it one of the few areas where checking your specific address is essential. Glenabbery, Steelstown and Clooney have pockets of Virgin Media's newer RFOG FTTP technology, though this remains limited citywide.

How to choose the best broadband deal in Derry
The four things worth checking before you commit to a 24-month contract.
Best value broadband deal
Budget-conscious households should start with Plusnet's 74Mbps service at £22.99/month, which handles everyday browsing and streaming for most homes. However, Derry's strong alternative network presence means your postcode might unlock cheaper deals from providers like YouFibre or Fibrus. Always compare what's available at your specific address before committing.
Best deal for speed
YouFibre tops the speed charts with a 7000Mbps (7Gbps) connection at £99.99/month, delivering extreme performance for tech enthusiasts and large households. This hyperfast tier suits homes with multiple 4K streams, large file transfers and smart home devices running simultaneously. Most premises can access gigabit speeds from multiple providers, so compare options at your postcode.
