London UK ISP Community Fibre Launch New Broadband Plans
London-focused broadband ISP CommunityFibre, which has so far covered well over 300,000 homes (and 12,000 businesses) with their 3Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network, has today launched a new range of packages and speeds to replace their old ones.
Previously, CommunityFibre (CF) offered a series of symmetric speed broadband packages including 50Mbps (£25 per month standard price), 150Mbps (£29.50), 400Mbps (£40), 1Gbps (£54) and 3Gbps (£99) on a 24-month term (12-month terms are also available). Optional phone and pay TV add-ons are available at extra cost (+£10 per month each on 24-month terms).
The old packages also came coupled to a free installation (£9.95 setup on 12-month terms), a dual-band mesh WiFi router (two routers with the 1Gbps package and a WiFi 6 router from Zyxel on 3Gbps), unlimited usage and a pledge of “no mid-contract price rises“. The new packages are much the same, but they differ in their speeds and prices.

The new tiers are effectively a speed boost vs the old plans, albeit at no extra cost or a reduced cost. The exception would be CF’s new entry-level 35Mbps tier, which is clearly aimed at those who only need a basic but capable connection.

They do symmetric 10Gbps if that not enough for you 😉
They do indeed.
It’s only available to business customers and costs £600 a month though.
Bless. I do worry that London doesn’t have enough fibre internet to go around. Maybe London would like dibs on any other resources the rest of the country has while it’s thinking about internet? Maybe we should think about making everything cheaper for london too, like we do for students.
@John £475 on a 36 month deal. Not that much more that a 1G EAD leased line on the same terms.
Move to London then. You may discover that FTTP in the capital is not as ubiquitous or universal as your preconceived notions allow. There’s huge swathes of properties that are EO and only have ADSL2 available.
Stop being daft. I lived in Central London and had only a 2Mbps ADSL connection, live a bit more suburban now, good internet, poor phone signal.
