About us
Our Mission
At broadbandprovider.co.uk, we believe everyone deserves reliable, transparent, and value-for-money digital connectivity. Our mission is simple: to cut through the marketing jargon and provide honest, expert guidance that helps UK consumers make informed decisions about their broadband services.
Who We Are
Founded in January 2025 by Julian Glover, broadbandprovider.co.uk was born from a simple observation: despite the UK’s advanced telecommunications infrastructure, many households struggle with unreliable connections, unexpected price increases, and poor customer service.
After more than two decades as a respected tech journalist reviewing the latest innovations and analyzing industry trends, Julian recognized a significant gap in the market. While many comparison sites focused primarily on price, consumers needed a platform that combined technical expertise with real-world performance data and honest reviews.
What Makes Us Different
Unlike typical comparison sites, we go beyond advertised speeds and promotional prices. Our comprehensive evaluation methodology incorporates:
- Data from thousands of real-world speed tests
- In-depth customer satisfaction surveys
- Detailed analysis of contract terms and conditions
- Performance assessments during peak usage times
- Location-specific recommendations
- Customer service responsiveness metrics
We maintain complete independence by not accepting advertising from broadband providers, ensuring our reviews and recommendations remain unbiased and consumer-focused.
Our Founder
Julian Glover brings over 20 years of experience in technology journalism to broadbandprovider.co.uk. Based in Maidenhead with his cat Clive (named after British computing pioneer Clive Sinclair), Julian has built a reputation for translating complex technological concepts into accessible language that resonates with everyday users.
The idea for broadbandprovider.co.uk came during the pandemic, when Julian observed millions of UK households suddenly dependent on their home internet connections for work, education, healthcare, and entertainment. Inundated with requests for advice, he realized he could leverage his expertise to make a meaningful impact on consumers’ digital lives.

“Technology should serve people, not the other way around. If we can help even a small percentage of UK consumers have better digital experiences, I’ll consider this venture a success.” – Julian Glover, Founder
