Brsk Prep 2Gbps UK FTTP Broadband Tier and Black Friday Discounts

Alternative full fibre operator and ISP Brsk, which now covers “over” 633,000 UK homes with their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network and is in the process of being merged into Netomnia (here), has today launched their new 2Gbps (symmetric speed) broadband package and introduced some early Black Friday discounts.

The new 2Gbps speed package has actually been in trial since early September 2024 with a variety of customers, although the full product launch will occur this month. The new package will include both a TP-Link EX820v router and the HX710 Pro mesh access points to help boost wireless coverage.

NOTE: Brsk’s network can generally be found in locations across West Yorkshire, West Midlands, Lancashire, Cheshire, Merseyside and Greater Manchester.

The new router and mesh devices, which were chosen after the ISP undertook a “comprehensive evaluation of various equipment options from multiple vendors, using CDRouter from QA Cafe for this process“, are said to have since “undergone rigorous testing to ensure optimal performance and reliability“.

Jody Botham, Head of Networks at brsk, said:

“While no wireless system is perfect, we understand that it is key to our customers’ experience when using our broadband products, and so for the 2Gbps product it was really important for us to make sure we selected equipment that can deliver the performance to make the most of this product.

We’ve made a significant investment in our CPE testing platform, which has allowed us to validate the functionality and benchmark the performance of a number of vendors’ CPE models, that on paper should have very similar performance, whereas in reality we saw some big differences. We selected the TP-Link devices based on its superior performance.”

The new 2Gbps package is expected to cost £55 per month on a 24-month minimum term, including free installation and a pledge of no mid-contract price rises. Speaking of pricing, some of Brsk’s other packages will also be getting early Black Friday discounts.

    As someone who has just upgraded to the 2Gbps service, here is my installation experience of the new router and mesh add on.

    The EX820vs router language is set to Germany by default, so we had to change it to change it to UK before it would work. The HX710 Pro seems to have trouble when connected. It is on a stable blue light which means it is connected, but there is no internet access. If anyone has an idea on how to fix this, please let me know! I’ve tried resetting it but doesn’t seem to rix the problem.

      Normally with Mesh devices it needs to be connected to a certain port on the router as it’s booted up.

      Does the router have a modem only mode?
