Broadband ISP Rebel Internet Join CityFibre’s UK Full Fibre Network

Retail broadband ISP Rebel Internet, which was set up a couple of years ago by two former BT executives (here), has this morning announced that they’ve signed a new partnership to harness CityFibre’s growing 5.5Gbps speed Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network – covering around 4.6 million UK premises (4.3m Ready for Service).

The move complements their existing relationship with Openreach’s much larger FTTP network (20m premises), which Rebel says will give them a combined reach of around 23m premises nationwide (full fibre). Rebel plans to offer two products on the CityFibre network: Rebel 1Gb for £45 a month and Rebel 550Mbps for £40 a month.

Both packages offer symmetrical upload and download speeds and will be available on 24-, 12-, and 1-month rolling contracts. As with Rebel’s wider product suite, they come with a Fixed Price Guarantee that promises no mid-contract price rises and all customers receive a Wi-Fi 6 Router, as well as access to Rebel’s Home Wi-Fi app.

Tucker George, CEO and Co-Founder of Rebel Internet, said:

“We’re thrilled to announce this new partnership, which allows us to provide full-fibre broadband to even more people nationwide. An important pillar of Rebel’s strategy has always been to bring customers the latest in broadband and Wi-Fi technology, and CityFibre’s growing full-fibre network allows us to do exactly that with faster, more reliable broadband. We’re excited to accelerate our rapid growth with this partnership and look forward to announcing more like it in the near future.”

Customers can optionally also add SuperPods for £5/month to create a mesh Wi-Fi network (coverage boost), Home Phone for £10/month with unlimited UK calls to landlines and mobiles, and or a Static IP address for £2.50/month.
