We’ve today returned to conduct our brief annual study of how much UK broadband ISPs are charging consumers for their top gigabit broadband (1Gbps+) tiers. The good news is that prices – driven by aggressive competition – broadly continue to fall, albeit not by as much as we saw between 2021 and 2022.<\/p>\n

For the purpose of this article, we’ll only be covering residential networks delivered via either Full Fibre (FTTP<\/a>\/B) or Hybrid Fibre Coax (Virgin Media<\/a>’s cable) infrastructure. At present, around 73% of UK premises are estimated to be within reach of such a gigabit-capable broadband network (here<\/a>), which drops to 48% when only considering FTTP<\/a> (i.e. Virgin’s HFC is currently responsible for most of the gigabit coverage).<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Providers will usually advertise gigabit (1Gbps) packages alongside \u201caverage<\/em>\u201d speeds of 900Mbps+, which reflects a 2018 requirement<\/a> by the Advertising Standards Authority<\/a> (ASA) for all ISPs to advertise the median speed as measured at peak time.<\/div>\n

However, assuming the Government\u2019s \u00a35bn Project Gigabit<\/a> rural broadband rollout programme achieves its targets and commercial rollouts continue at pace, then we should see gigabit coverage reach around 85% by the end of 2025, before possibly achieving universal coverage by 2030 or later (here<\/a>). Ofcom<\/a>’s own prediction, based on planned deployments (here<\/a>), suggests that gigabit coverage will hit 92% of the UK by March 2025.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that, within a few short years, most of us will have been given an option of one or more gigabit-capable broadband networks. But such speeds are not an automatic upgrade for existing connections, thus you\u2019d need to order the package from a supporting ISP in order to receive it.<\/p>\n

The amount that ISPs will charge you for such a package also continues to vary quite a lot, which isn\u2019t just a reflection of the competitive market. Different packages often come attached to different features (e.g. static IP addresses, better routers, public WiFi<\/a> etc.) and some networks have also been deployed using different methodologies or technologies, which can impact how much they cost.<\/p>\n

For example, B4RN<\/a> adopts the community benefit society approach and operates a closed network, where the community helps to build and fund the infrastructure – this tends to result in a cheaper service (i.e. not profit orientated). By comparison, Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) runs a commercial open access network, albeit one that has the baggage of heavily regulated copper infrastructure to balance – this can be more expensive, but recent discount schemes have narrowed the gap to rivals.<\/p>\n

In addition, providers that build almost exclusively in rural areas also tend to be more expensive, as this reflects the higher cost of deployment. On the other hand, the new generation of commercial and urban-focused alternative network (AltNet) providers, many of which are trying to peel customers away from established players, are often still aggressive on price.<\/p>\n

The Gigabit Comparison (May 2023 Data)<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Firstly, we will not be adding any new 1Gbps providers to this year’s list, and there are a couple of reasons for that. A large number of new providers have launched gigabit plans since last year\u2019s update, thus we\u2019d end up duplicating work on our ISP Listings<\/strong><\/a> page. Secondly, the goal of this update is to check how prices for existing services have changed, if at all, over the past year.<\/p>\n

Much like last year, our 2023 summary will generally only take a standalone package from each operator, except in cases where the package is unavoidably bundled alongside a voice (phone) product. We\u2019ll also reflect the post-contract pricing after any discounts, provided those discounts last the full length of the operator\u2019s initial minimum term (shorter partial-term discounts will be ignored as they\u2019re harder to compare).<\/p>\n

The list also excludes gigabit plans that cost more than \u00a3100 per month – partly to keep our workload down and because \u00a3100+ is considered to be business level pricing. We’ve also excluded plans where the ISP is unclear about who is building their underlying network(s) and, for providers with multiple underlying networks (each with different prices), we’ll only cover the two largest networks to reduce complexity and repetition.<\/p>\n

Overall, this list isn\u2019t intended to be exhaustive, but it should help to illustrate common trends and changes over time. At present, the only truly mass-market gigabit providers are Virgin Media<\/a> (16.27 million premises) and Openreach<\/a> (10.3m), but there are also several rapidly growing AltNets that are now achieving serious scale (e.g. CityFibre<\/a> [2.6m], Hyperoptic<\/a> [1.15m] etc.).<\/p>\n

In order to save space, we aren\u2019t listing upload speeds, although it\u2019s worth noting that while many providers will give you symmetric uploads, a few often offer much slower uploads (e.g. Openreach<\/a>-based networks, as well as Virgin and a few others etc.). On most gigabit (1Gbps) plans this will still be 100Mbps+, which is more than enough for the majority of people.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Prices are all inc. VAT. We don\u2019t display one-off setup fees below (no space), but these tend to vary between \u00a30 and \u00a3200. The monthly prices in brackets are post-contract (after discounts) and nearly every package includes a router.<\/div>\n

Overall, many more ISPs reduced their prices than increased them over the past year, while a few others maintained the same pricing they had last year. But in this climate of surging inflation, we must consider how any provider that opts to keep its prices frozen has, in real terms, technically introduced a price cut.<\/p>\n

Some of the biggest price reductions came from Zzoomm<\/a>, CommunityFibre<\/a>, County Broadband, Grain<\/a>, Lightning Fibre<\/a> and Swish Fibre – many of these fell by well over \u00a310 per month (sometimes double that). But there were some price increases too, such as from Virgin Media, WeFibre, Lothian Broadband and B4RN etc.<\/p>\n

Overall, the average price for a 1Gbps package seems to be sitting somewhere around the \u00a340 to \u00a360 mark, which only a few years ago would have been close to the pricing of some 80Mbps consumer FTTC<\/a> packages. Finally, we should point out that Pure Broadband was acquired by Connexin<\/a> last year, and since then we’ve been unsure about what networks they still offer under their brand (i.e. we could only include the CityFibre pricing, while some other products redirect to the Connexin<\/a> site).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
