Big Broadband Discounts at Shell, Gigaclear and CommunityFibre

Several UK broadband ISPs, including Shell Energy, Gigaclear and CommunityFibre, have today introduced some big discounts and flash sales on their various unlimited standard, superfast, ultrafast and gigabit-capable packages for home users. We’ve summarised these in a bit more detail below.

First up is Shell Energy, which has slashed the monthly prices of their national ADSL2+ and FTTC based broadband and phone bundles (they also offer G.fast, but those remain at their standard price) for new orders until 12th April 2021. All packages include a wireless router, 18-month minimum contract term, free activation, unlimited usage and copper line rental with standard call rates (PAYG).

The change means that Shell’s “Fast Broadband” (11Mbps) package is now just £18.99 per month (£21.99 after 18 months), while “Superfast Fibre Broadband” (35Mbps) becomes £21.99 per month (£30.99 after 18 months) and “Superfast Fibre Plus Broadband” (63Mbps) is just £26.99 per month (£35.99 after 18 months).

However, their G.fast based “Ultrafast Fibre Broadband” (140Mbps) and “Ultrafast Fibre Broadband Plus” (290Mbps) packages remain at the standard price of £39.99 and £44.99 per month respectively.

CommunityFibre

Meanwhile, FTTP broadband ISP CommunityFibre, which is available to around 200,000 premises across the city, has introduced a further 25% discount across all of their packages until 30th March 2021. All packages come attached to a 24-month contract term, symmetric speeds, free install and included broadband router.

The move means that their 50Mbps package now costs just £15 per month for the first 24 months of service (£25 thereafter), while 150Mbps costs £18.75 per month (£29.50 thereafter), 400Mbps costs £26.25 per month (£40 thereafter), 1Gbps costs £36.75 per month (£54 thereafter) and their top 3Gbps tier is just £74.25 per month (£110 thereafter).

CommunityFibre remains one of the cheapest ISPs in the entire UK market, albeit somewhat hobbled by their limited availability.

Gigaclear

Finally, we come to rural FTTP broadband ISP Gigaclear, which is available to more than 155,000 homes and businesses in 300 communities across 22 counties in England. The main change here is that their symmetric speed 300Mbps package has been slashed from £49 per month to £34 for the first 18-month minimum contract term, and you also get free installation (Use offer code: SPRING15). This discount runs until 27th March 2021.
