About us
Better Broadband Made Simple
At Best Broadband in My Area (BBIMA), we believe getting fast, reliable internet shouldn’t be complicated or biased.
Most big comparison sites only show you deals from providers that pay them a kickback. We do things differently. We are actively building the largest database of UK broadband deals to give you a truly transparent look at the market. We include household names like BT, Sky and Virgin Media as well as local alternative network providers (altnets) because our mission is to put you first, not the commissions. We believe finding the best broadband in my area requires seeing the whole market, not just the “paid-for” slice.
Built on over a decade of experience in managed IT networks, BBIMA was launched to bring a fresh approach to broadband comparison. Our founder Brian, a Cisco Certified Network Engineer, combines technical know-how with a real-world understanding of what UK households need from their broadband. It’s not just about showing deals. It is about simplifying the entire process. The site is proudly independently owned, with no hidden agendas or corporate backing.
What Makes Best Broadband in My Area (BBIMA) Different?
BBIMA was created because traditional comparison sites weren’t cutting it. They are often just sales agents for big ISPs, lacking guidance and clarity. Here is how things are done differently:
- Total Market View: The broadband comparison tool doesn’t just show “featured” deals. It tracks everything, including social tariffs and smaller altnets that other sites ignore because they don’t pay a commission.
- Transparent Insights: Avoid marketing traps with our unique Price History tracking to ensure you buy at the lowest price. This is backed by our library of in-depth articles and troubleshooting guides to keep your internet running smoothly.
- Exclusive Value: Our partnership with Broadband Genie and Gift Cloud secures exclusive gift card vouchers on select deals. You simply won’t find these rewards by going directly to the provider.
- Real Industry Expertise: We aren’t just content writers. The team backs every recommendation with professional-level IT knowledge. We don’t guess. We use our collective technical experience to give you the facts.
Comparison Tools You Won’t Find Anywhere Else
We aren’t just a list of deals. We are a Consumer Intelligence Hub designed to help you buy when the price is right, not when marketing tells you to.
| Feature | Why We Include It |
|---|---|
| Price History | We expose the real pricing history so you can see if a deal is actually at its lowest or just a marketing trick. |
| Copper Network Status | We tell you if your area is under “stop sell” or moving to full fibre, so you don’t waste time looking at obsolete connections. |
| Property Audit | Confirmed fastest speed at your specific front door rather than just an “estimated” postcode average. |
| Social Tariffs | We list these because you deserve to see them, regardless of whether they pay us a commission. |
| PDF Results | Download your property audit to review offline or share with your household later. |
Comparing the Giants and the Local Heroes
A true comparison requires a full view of the market. That is why our database lists the UK’s biggest internet service providers alongside the smaller independent networks that are shaking up the industry. You will see deals from the household names you know, but you will also discover local full fibre providers that might just offer the best speed in your street. We track them all so you can decide who deserves your business.

Our website also features practical resources to help you:
