First Customers Live on YouFibre’s FTTP Network in Spalding
UK ISP YouFibre has announced that the first customers are now live on their new 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network in the Lincolnshire (England) market town of Spalding, which is being built with support from network partner Netomnia and their contractors.
Netomnia itself is currently working to make their full fibre broadband ISP network available to 1 million UK premises by 2024 (here and here) and part of that involves a £7.5 million investment into Spalding, which will see their local deployment grow to cover a total of 25,000 premises. Work in both the Boston and Spalding areas only started in May 2021.
Customers in these locations can typically expect to pay from £20 per month on an 18-month term for their unlimited 50Mbps package (£22 post-contract), which rises to just £50 if you want their top 1000Mbps plan. This is very cheap and clearly intended to help grow take-up. A static IP address, Mesh Wi-Fi and phone service are optional (mesh WiFi is included by default with their 1000Mbps plan).

All of YouFibre’s packages include unlimited usage, symmetrical download and upload speeds, a Wi-Fi router, a no price-rise promise within contract and 24/7 UK based support. And there is no install fee, activation fee or line rental.
