City focused broadband ISP Hyperoptic, which is building a new gigabit-capable FTTP/B network across large UK residential buildings, office blocks and some houses, will today introduce a new 24-month contract term option to complement their existing monthly (30 day) and 12-month terms. The advantage is a lower price.
The new 24-month term will be offered as an extra option alongside all of their existing packages, including their cheapest, albeit well-hidden, entry-level 30Mbps plan (follow this link for that because they don’t include it on their main product page).
New customers will thus be able to choose from either a ‘broadband and phone’ bundle or a ‘broadband-only’ (standalone) service on a 12-month or 24-month minimum contract term. You can also get a “no contract” option (broadband-only), but this is the most expensive option. We note that a one-off connection fee of £29 applies to their slower packages, albeit dropping to £9.99 on their 30Mbps option, and it’s free for 500Mbps and 900Mbps.
All packages come with unlimited usage, 24/7 support, a wireless router and a dynamic IP address or £5 extra per month for a Static IP. Adding a phone (voice) service to their packages will also increase the monthly cost by £2. The promotion code for Hyperoptic’s latest offers is listed as HYPERSUMMER, which you should input during the order process.

Is it really relevant? It’s a very niche product.
