As of 13 August 2026, AI can compare business broadband deals.

What to actually do

1. Hand it to a person

   The route this page recommends

   A person who owns the outcome does this end to end, worth it when the failure is dear.

2. Use a tool built for this

   Second choice

3. Do it yourself

   The distant third

   A chat interface, chat-fluent skill, and roughly 1 hour until you can act on the result.

   How to actually do it

   1. Open the current quotes, product pages and provider emails, and save the relevant PDFs or copy the relevant text into one folder.
   2. Write down the business address or postcode, number of regular users, main applications, required speeds, need for static IP or failover, maximum contract length and budget.
   3. Paste the prompt into a chatbot and attach or paste the quotes and terms together with the business requirements.
   4. Ask the chatbot to produce the comparison table and flag every missing, conflicting or unverified term instead of filling gaps.
   5. Compare each row of the draft against the original provider quote and correct prices, VAT treatment, contract length, price rises, installation charges and cancellation terms.
   6. Send the provider questions from the draft, confirm availability and technical requirements for the business address, then update the comparison with the written answers.
   7. Choose the deal only after a colleague checks the final table against the approved requirements and the person authorised to buy confirms the contract terms.

   Prompt

   Compare the UK business broadband deals in the material I provide. Do not use general memory or invent missing facts. Treat the supplied quotes, terms and provider correspondence as the source of truth, and mark anything absent, ambiguous or needing confirmation as "unknown".
   
   First extract each deal into a table with these fields where available: provider, product name, connection type, advertised download speed, advertised upload speed, minimum or guaranteed speed, contract length, introductory price, ongoing price, VAT treatment, installation or activation charges, equipment charges, price-rise terms, early termination charges, service level agreement, fault response or fix commitments, business support hours, static IP options, usage limits, backup or failover options, availability conditions and any exclusions.
   
   Then compare the deals against these requirements:
   - Location: [BUSINESS ADDRESS OR POSTCODE]
   - Number of regular users: [NUMBER]
   - Main uses: [VIDEO CALLS, CLOUD SYSTEMS, VOIP, LARGE FILES, VPN, OTHER]
   - Required minimum download speed: [REQUIREMENT]
   - Required minimum upload speed: [REQUIREMENT]
   - Need for static IP, business support, SLA or failover: [REQUIREMENTS]
   - Maximum acceptable contract length: [REQUIREMENT]
   - Budget and whether it is stated including or excluding VAT: [BUDGET]
   
   Give me: (1) a corrected comparison table, (2) the best fit for the stated requirements, (3) the cheapest option only where the price basis is comparable, (4) the main trade-offs, (5) every missing or conflicting fact, and (6) a short list of precise questions to send each provider. Do not recommend a deal based on advertised speed alone. Do not claim that a service is available at the address unless the supplied material confirms it. Separate facts from your judgement and show which source supports each material fact. End with a purchase checklist of points I must confirm with the provider before signing.

   Open it prefilled in ChatGPT or Claude, or copy it into Gemini, which takes no prefill link.
