Broadband ISP Grain Pledges UK Package Price Freeze Until 2027

Alternative network operator Grain (Grain Connect), which has built their own Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) based broadband network to cover over 220,000 UK premises and 30,000 customers, have maintained their promise of no mid-contract price hikes and also pledged to retain their current price freeze until 2027 (if you sign up before 21st Feb 2025).

Broadband prices jumped by up to 8.8% in 2024. And no, that’s not a typo. Across the UK, millions of households were hit with in-contract price hikes that left wallets feeling lighter and frustration running high. The culprit? Providers tying their prices to inflation, plus a sneaky little margin on top. If you’re feeling the pinch, you’re not alone. But it doesn’t have to be this way,” said Grain’s latest update.

Prices for Grain’s broadband packages start at £17.99 per month for 150Mbps (symmetric speed) and rise to £28.99 for their top 900Mbps+ tier, which includes a 24-month minimum contract term, a pledge of “no in-contract price rises“, no credit checks, free installation and an included wireless router. The ISP is also offering the first 2-4 months of service for free to new customers (offer length varies between packages).

    Bravo to Grain for doing the right thing and not having in contract price rises.

    If only some of the bigger providers would do this it could become the market norm.

    Fantastic deal if they pass your door, but unfortunately not mine, the altnet that passes our door is almost as expensive as the EE/OR current offer, then you have to balance asymmetric but with a public IPV4 address & IPV6 against symmetric but with CGNAT & no V6.
