How long does it take to switch broadband providers?

For standard Openreach switches, this is dependent on the provider and how simple your switch is but typically, it takes approximately two weeks. If you need any installation or engineering work done, it might take a little longer, but your internet should still work during this time.

Your new provider is best placed to guide you on how long your switch will take. Things that take longer include getting different equipment and installing specific cabling to your house for faster connection speeds.
