Our top picks

Short, factual explainers. Prices and promotions change often, so we link to each vendor’s public homepage for current offers. When affiliate links are live, they will replace these buttons.

Choosing home antivirus

Look for real-time malware protection, ransomware controls, and a clear device limit. Prefer vendors with transparent UK pricing and regular updates. Avoid “lifetime” deals that lock you into outdated software.

VPN

Choosing a VPN

A VPN encrypts your connection on shared Wi-Fi and can help with privacy online. Check server locations, a no-logs policy, kill switch, and whether the plan covers phones and PCs. NordVPN and Surfshark are popular UK consumer options.

Broadband

Checking full-fibre

Coverage varies street by street. Always check availability at your postcode before you switch. Compare contract length, upload speed, and any setup fees — not just the headline download figure.

Buttons currently open each vendor’s public website. They are marked in the page source as AFFILIATE_LINK so they can be swapped for tracked affiliate links once programmes are approved.
