Carlisle-based alternative broadband ISP Grain, which has so far rolled out their point-to-point full fibre (FTTP) network to cover 270,000 UK premises (aiming for 600,000 in the future) and in 2025 secured a £225m funding boost (here), has today doubled their top symmetric package speeds to 2Gbps (2,000Mbps).
The new package starts at just £29.99 per month, plus a six-month introductory offer of £10 off, meaning six months at just £19.99. The new Full Fibre 2000 package also comes with all of Grain’s usual features, such as a fixed price 18-month minimum term contract, unlimited downloads, included installation and router, no up-front costs or credit checks and a fibre that is not shared with your neighbour (direct point-to-point).
The new package doesn’t yet appear to be available across Grain’s entire network footprint, with the altnet instead saying it “will be rolled out widely across Grain’s network throughout 2026“.

Richard Cameron, CEO of Grain, said:
“We are constantly reviewing our products alongside customer needs and expectations. In today’s modern, tech-heavy homes, customers demand a first-class broadband experience – this means fast, reliable and hassle-free service that can cope with gaming, streaming, working and multiple users at once. We are proud to be the lowest priced UK network for speeds up to 2000Mbps.
Customers can optionally add either a Static IP address or Wi-Fi extender for just £3 more (or +£5 if you want both at the same time).

2Gbit symmetric for £20/month is a ludicrous deal. Hell, the £30/month price is stonking.
I’m enjoying the altnets we have right now, it’s going to be a real shame when the inevitable consolidation happens.
Cheapest than most expensive BTw FTTP 1000/115
I have 900 from them at £22 with static IP. So I’d be interested in this
2GB/s for £30 is a bloody good price. I wish there was a way (other than paying the £5 for a static IP) they could get their CGNAT to play well with online gaming like Call of Duty multiplayer. If they could it would be perfect. Other CGNAT ISPs have found workarounds for this outside of Static IPs
If you twist at them they don’t charge you;)
