Price Cut for Customers of Giffgaff’s 200Mbps UK Full Fibre Broadband Plan UPDATE
In a small but welcome development. Mobile and internet provider giffgaff has announced that both new and existing customers of their home broadband products – powered by nexfibre’s UK full fibre network (covers 2.5 million premises) – will benefit from a change of standard price on their 200Mbps tier that reduces it by -£1 to £29 per month.
On the surface such a charge is hardly much to write home about, but it’s important to reflect that this isn’t a temporary discount and to underline that they’re reducing the standard monthly price at a time when many other broadband providers have been hiking their prices, often significantly.
Lest we forget that giffgaff’s broadband packages only attract a basic 30-day minimum contract term and include no setup fees, despite including a wireless router in the package. In addition, existing customers of giffgaff’s mobile plans can apparently also benefit from three months of free service when they sign-up.

Giffgaff Statement
We’re making a change to our 200mbps broadband plan, bringing it down to £29 from £30. Members already on this plan will automatically be placed on to the new price point at their next renewal.
Don’t forget that if you’ve been a mobile member with giffgaff since before 1st January, 2026, then you can still take advantage of [the] offer … where you can get three months free broadband if you sign up by 12th April, 2026.

We’ve had another comment from giffgaff.
A giffgaff spokesperson told ISPreview:
“At giffgaff we’re committed to fairness for our members, and that means providing good value and flexibility across broadband and mobile. We have recently lowered the price of our 200Mbps monthly-rolling full-fibre package from £30 to £29 per month, and all packages can be changed on a monthly basis without penalty, meaning our members can flex up or down each month if they need to.
At a time when many other bills are rising, we’re also giving new and existing mobile members up to three times extra data for no additional cost. In fact, we’re one of the few mobile providers not to inflict mid-contract price rises on our members, and we haven’t raised any of our SIM plan prices in six years.”

By coincidence I just signed up, if you keep getting errors during the ordering process, try changing the installation days as this fixed it for me.
Coincidentally I noticed yesterday that Zen have cut their package prices by about £3 a month as well. At least for their CityFibre packages for new customers. Zen have no in contract price rises but do they also have no in contract price cuts?
200mb speed for £29 is horrific when comparing to the market
Who’s signing up for that?
Do they have a choice mind? It’s only because it’s an Telefonia gig that they have access to it.
£29 gets you 1Gbps these days elswhere so you are right on that
Had a quick look around, it may not actually be that bad depending on circumstances if you’re after ~200mbps FTTP.
With GG there’s no installation cost or minimum term and some of the ‘cheaper’ OR providers I looked at e.g. Vodafone are still raising their prices next month even if you sign up now.
Of course other networks may be cheaper, but they may not be available, where I live it’s OR or NF.
Speed is also symmetrical, compared to ~30mbps I’m seeing on OR.
To be clear, I’m not saying this is for everyone, just that I can imagine scenarios where someone may want it. Personally I signed up for the 900mbps package as I want faster upload speeds than what OR offer.
It is expensive, but read the article, no contract and no set up fees, that is why it is at that price. So it is fine if you don’t want a long contract or even if you don’t want a contract.
While I hate long contracts, I understand why we have contracts, they keep prices down, well they are supposed to. Sadly with the majority, they stick people in 24 month contracts and still increase prices.
I doubt Giff gaff will get a huge amount of people for their broadband, but I presume they have done their homework and will get enough to make it pay.
Minor correction to my post, Vodafone is April, BT is the 31st March though.
All depends on availability, Trumps Wig.
Whilst some providers are offering a Gig for £30, it could be free for all it’s worth for someone not on that network.
I do think 200Mbps at £29 is expensive when a whole Gig is only £35 a month for those who can get it (I have 1Gbps giffgaff and it’s pretty good!)
I did consider dropping to 200Mbps and use it purely as failover for my 1.6Gbps OR connection, but for £6 a month it’s not worth dropping. I’m likely going to drop my main OR connection to a a slower tier and load balance across 2 x 1Gbps links. That would save me a bigger chunk of cash and still be highly performant for the workloads I can make it work on
@Trump’s Wig: giffgaff is cheaper, simpler and more flexible than Virgin Media (the anchor tenant) on the same nexfibre network. VM is more expensive but offers TV bundles, perks, and higher speeds. I’ve had giffgaff for many years, they must be unique in having no call centre but you get online support from the community forum and can raise a ticket with an agent, it works well and I expect the same business model for broadband.
Those prices are lost leaders and they’re not going to last much longer because alternate ISPs are struggling. Sign up to those while you can because they’re not going to be around for much longer.
Plus giffgaff is a 30-day rolling contract, not a 24 months contract like most of these other ones so you’ve got to take that into consideration.
Im a GiffGaff broadband trialist paying £10 until August this year for 500mbps Im more than happy to pay their normal customer rates when the time comes, no contract, no £4 a month price increase after a few months, UK support, no brainer for me. I don’t need 1gb, I don’t need 500mbps, we are delighted with GG offering and happy to stay with them.
just to clarify my earlier post we pay £10 a month.
