Rochdale-based ISP Zen Internet has informed us that both their new and existing customers can now benefit after they cut the price of their FTTC based Unlimited Fibre 1 (35Mbps average speed) and phone plan from £37 to £29.99 per month, which will be maintained as its new standard pricing.
As usual the package includes unlimited usage, a good quality wireless router (FRITZ!Box), Static IP address, line rental and a 12 month contract term. Optionally customers can choose to only take broadband and thus leave their line rental with a different provider (reduces the monthly rental by -£10 to just £19.99).
The revised package will also benefit from Zen’s new Lifetime Price Guarantee. “As long as you stay with Zen, we promise there will be no price rises. That’s a lifetime guarantee. Of course, this doesn’t stop us reducing the price you pay, and we reserve the right to do so!,” says the ISP.

The fact that this is now a standard price, which means that it isn’t a short-term special offer and will be retained at the end of your contract term, makes Zen an attractive option versus some of the largest ISPs. Granted they can’t cut pricing to the bone like Vodafone or TalkTalk, but Zen are generally considered to be a much better quality ISP than the bigger players and you get some premium features (Static IP, FRITZ!Box router).
Good negotiating price with our existing telco 🙂
Now if they’d only cut the higher packages
Zen dropped the Fibre 2 price just 3-4 weeks ago
Hopefully Zen will also provide this pricing to their FTTP 40/10 product, where GEA FTTC 40/10 is not available from Openreach (Zen currently rises to £43.99 after the introductory period), which is also subject to Ofcom’s wholesale local access market review.
As someone who is in a FTTP-only property (and my most of the FTTP development I live on), would move to Zen in an instance, and leave BT Retail.
Even at the higher price w/ line rental zen is cheaper so its that all your after.
I’m with Zen (excellent ISP) and would jump at this offer if only I wasn’t stuck on ADSL.
