ISP Utility Warehouse Launches 900Mbps UK Broadband Package

Energy and communications provider Utility Warehouse (UW or Telecom Plus) recently boosted their existing range of Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) based home broadband packages by finally adding a top 944Mbps tier, which costs just £40 per month on an 18-month term.

The change appears to have occurred in the middle of last month, although they didn’t issue a press release about it to us – we noticed when it was mentioned in their latest minor quarterly trading update (although it was mentioned in another PR about mid-contract price hikes). Customers who take this package should note that, after the first 18-months have finished, the standard price will become £49 per month.

The package also includes their ‘UW Wi-Fi Hub’ wireless router and unlimited data usage, but otherwise there’s not a lot of detail and no mention of the package’s upload speeds. However, UW tends to work with both Openreach and CityFibre’s national networks, which means that uploads may be limited to a max of 115Mbps on their top tier when using Openreach (CityFibre is usually symmetric).
