ISP iDNET Launch 1.8Gbps and 2.3Gbps UK Broadband Plans via FullFibre Ltd
Broadband provider iDNET has just become one of the first ISPs to introduce both a 1.8Gbps (advertised as 1.6Gbps) and 2.3Gbps (2Gbps) symmetric speed package via FullFibre Limited‘s (Fibre Heroes) new network, which currently covers 380,000 UK premises across parts of 170 towns.
Just to recap. FullFibre Ltd introduced the faster tiers at wholesale last month (here). The operator’s FTTP lines can be found in various locations across Derbyshire, Essex, Gloucestershire, Greater Manchester, Herefordshire, Lancashire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Merseyside, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Shropshire, South Yorkshire, Staffordshire, Warwickshire and Worcestershire in England.
One of the first ISPs to start selling the faster FTTP plans at wholesale has just become iDNET, which also sells similar tiers via both Openreach and CityFibre’s national networks. The residential packages cost from £72 per month for 1.6Gbps and £75 for 2Gbps, which on a 24-month contract term will come with both an included X6000 WiFi6 Router and free installation.

The provider also offers some even more expensive “Gamer” variants of these packages, which bundle a more powerful router and support for features like LACP Lan Aggregation (not that you really need either of those things for exceptional gaming on an FTTP line). Shorter 12-month and 30-day terms are also available, albeit with fewer freebies. Credits to one of our readers (Blake) for spotting all this.

Upgrade order placed. The existing modem already has a 2.5Gb nic so hopefully it’s just an in place upgrade.
I assumed they would be one of the first as they are already selling this speed over CF network. I’ve just done a check with them and it’s showing for as available and £62.50 for 2.3gb is really good
Its a shame the ul is getting better coverage of 100M+ acress all of the uk rather then geographically insignification ‘hedline’ follys.
Seem like something teh ‘Levelling up’ ministry should get on and do something about, e.g. levelling up communities, assuming they’re fit for purpose, and if not get rid of all these useless ‘initiative’ organistaiosn to save taxpayers and consumers some costs.
