The average (median) household faces a cost of \u00a3279 and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/vm\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Virgin Media<\/a> came out as the most expensive to leave (\u00a3360).<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The data source for all this reflects people who used the site&#8217;s own calculator to work out the cost of cancelling their broadband contract early. The typical estimated exit fees that resulted from this revealed how 45.5% (1,124 households) faced a fee of between \u00a3100 to \u00a3300, while 30.5% (753) faced a fee of \u00a3300 to \u00a3500, 13.2% (327) faced a fee of \u00a3500 or more and, finally, 10.8% (268) expected to be hit by a charge of under \u00a3100.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> See our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/2025\/04\/summary-of-the-cash-switching-incentives-offered-by-uk-broadband-isps.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guide to Switching Credits<\/a> for a bit more background.<\/div>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/switchity.co.uk\/broadband\/exit-fees-report\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the study<\/strong><\/a>, the typical household also checks the cost of leaving when there&#8217;s 12 months left on their contract, at almost every major provider (i.e. the median average remaining months on a contract). Interestingly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/tt\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">TalkTalk<\/a> households push this up slightly to 13 months, which perhaps reflects the impact from their well-publicised financial challenges.<\/p>\n<p>However, the above data tends to catch other services that may ship alongside broadband packages, such as pay TV. If we separate these then households with a broadband and TV bundle face a \u00a3396 median exit fee against \u00a3261 for broadband-only.
