Broadly speaking, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/rebel\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Rebel Internet<\/a> is another <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a> based broadband ISP that sells a mix of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> powered packages, and it&#8217;s doing so alongside a pledge to &#8220;<em>revolutionise internet in the UK<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The main selling points of this new provider, as stated earlier, are the adoption of a &#8220;<em>no contracts, fair pricing [and] customers first<\/em>&#8221; style approach, which is good but also nothing particularly original. A fair number of others ISPs make similar promises, and if there&#8217;s one thing this market isn&#8217;t short on right now, it&#8217;s choice. In fact, there&#8217;s far too much choice, so much so that it&#8217;s become a complex and confusion sector to navigate.<\/p>\n<p>Just to elaborate a bit. Despite all the PR spin, there&#8217;s no such thing as a &#8220;<em>no contract<\/em>&#8221; ISP, as this usually just means T&amp;Cs that apply for a standard 30-day (monthly) period. The talk of &#8220;<em>Wi-Fi that actually works<\/em>&#8221; also just seems to be a partial reference to the fact that they sell a Plume powered Mesh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> solution and use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> 6 capable router, which is good but some other ISPs are also doing the same.<\/p>\n<p>The more attractive selling point appears to be Rebel&#8217;s approach to pricing, which pledges that &#8220;<em>new and existing customers pay the same<\/em>&#8221; and there will be &#8220;<em>no teaser rates or above-inflation price increases<\/em>&#8221; (more on this a little later).<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"bq1\"><p><strong>Tucker George, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/rebel\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Rebel Internet<\/a> CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The broadband market is truly broken. It\u2019s controlled by a small number of Big Broadband providers who have trapped customers and stifled any effective competition. I\u2019ve seen the bad behaviour of Big Broadband first-hand and it is shocking. These companies spend hundreds of millions of pounds on confusing marketing, entice customers into long-term contracts laden with hidden fees, deploy above-inflation prices rises, and then deliver woeful customer service. All for the same basic broadband and Wi-Fi that often doesn\u2019t work as promised.<\/p>\n<p>Most troubling are the new price increase tactics they deploy on loyal customers; they\u2019re not well-explained or understood and, as a result, customers suffer. In the midst of a cost-of-living crisis, it\u2019s especially disturbing to see the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/britishtelecom\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">BT<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/eebroadband\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">EE<\/a> unleash a 14.4% price increase on millions of loyal customers, then attempt to justify it as anything other than corporate greed. Above-inflation pricing schemes like these cause significant harm to customers and should be banned.<\/p>\n<p>Until now, customers had no choice but to suffer this mistreatment. That changes today. We mean it when we say a rebellion is coming.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As above, it&#8217;s perhaps a bit misleading to say that customers have &#8220;<em>no choice but to suffer this mistreatment<\/em>&#8220;, as there&#8217;s plenty of choice in this market already (literally hundreds of providers &#8211; see our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/list.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>ISP Listings<\/strong><\/a>). But not everybody is fully aware of what alternatives exists to the biggest ISPs and networks in their own location.<\/p>\n<p>However, trying to figure out what Rebel actually sell via their website is a little bit more tedious than usual, since they ask for extra personal details (name, email) before revealing their packages, which they say is needed to &#8220;<em>contact you about our products and services<\/em>&#8221; (there&#8217;s no box to opt-out of this, but you can just input fake details to check).<\/p>\n<p>Package prices then start from \u00a335 per month for their 74Mbps <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttc\">FTTC<\/a> based package without a phone service, which rises to \u00a355 for their top 1000Mbps tier &#8211; this includes their <strong>Heights Wi-Fi 6 HT-178AX Router<\/strong>. Plus, you can pay an extra \u00a310 (monthly) if you want a phone solution and \u00a35 more for every Mesh <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> booster you add. But the order process does mention that &#8220;<i>prices increase annually by the Consumer Price Index (CPI),<\/i>&#8221; although they fail to clarify by which month this is set. Otherwise, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/fttp\">FTTP<\/a> pricing appears to be pretty good for a 30-day term on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/openreach\" target=\"_blank\">Openreach<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, there were a few issues that we spotted. Firstly, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/rebel\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Rebel Internet<\/a> doesn&#8217;t appear to state a complaints&#8217; policy in their <a href=\"https:\/\/rebelinternet.uk\/hubfs\/Rebel_Internet_Terms_and_Conditions.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">terms<\/a>. All ISPs need to be members of an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/ofcom\" target=\"_blank\">Ofcom<\/a> approved ADR complaints handler, which should be clearly referenced.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, for an ISP that appears to have just launched, they&#8217;ve already managed to collect a lot of glowing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/review\/rebelfibre.co.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Trustpilot reviews<\/a> that go all the way back to 18th March 2022, while their Facebook\/Twitter profiles only went live in December 2022 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/rebelinternetuk\/about_profile_transparency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/rebelinternetuk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>). We think the reason for this is that they actually existed before, albeit under the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/rebelfibre\/posts\/?feedView=all\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rebel Fibre<\/a> brand, in 2021. At some point they had a re-brand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new UK broadband ISP appears to have launched this month called Rebel Internet, which is run by two former BT executives &#8211;
