Full Fibre ISP Hyperoptic Scrap 33Mbps UK Home Broadband Package
City-focused full fibre (FTTP/B) broadband ISP Hyperoptic, which claims to have deployed their gigabit speed network to cover 1.9 million UK homes (mostly across blocks of flats / MDUs), has today finally removed their legacy entry-level 33Mbps package for new customers (existing subscribers will continue to be supported).
Consumers looking to take the 30Mbps tier would have admittedly needed to do a bit of digging, as it hasn’t appeared on their main front product page for some years (largely replaced by their 50Mbps tier). Despite this, the service was still available and had been priced from just £17.99 per month (rising to £21.99 from April 2027) on a 24-month minimum contract term (plus a £10 one-off activation fee).
For that subscribers could expect to receive average download speeds of 33Mbps and an average upload speed of just 1Mbps (although we think it could go to 5Mbps), which made it attractive for those with only basic needs. But these days this affordable niche has been somewhat replaced by the provider’s wide range of Social Tariffs, although the catch is that those are only available to people on state benefits.
