YouFibre Reviews

There customer service and connection has been top class and fro. My experience so far speeds are great. On 900 mbps contract but I consistently get 1.1 gig down and 710 up!
If you you are thinking of joining youfibre, I would not hesitate as my experience has been top class.

I have been paid and quite quickly, couple weeks, not months or years like cashback sites!

2gig connection. Was worried about peering as they don't have many connections. Super surprised, speed is rock solid, I do not notice any degradation in connectivity compared to BT fttp. Had one issue, ONT fried itself, they came out quickly and sorted it. Always get full 2gig up and down. Static IP has always worked, free Asus router is unreal. Recommended

My friend recomended it to me.
At the moment i have no issue with it.
I did not experienced the whole speed yet, Little over 980 out of 1GB, but who cares.
The price is £30 for 1GB vs £43 from virgin for 200MB.

Be aware - beacuse it is fibre they have limitation where they can connect which means you might have to run ethernet (at least ca6 grade) to another room.
Adidtional charges aply if you want static ip or mesh system.

I went for the 2Gb package, but there was a delay in getting an engineer out as they send their own engineers for the 2Gb and faster (because the routers are expensive and they don't hand them out to contractors). I ended up paying for a static IP to be able to access my network remotely - Via VPN so I can fix my wife's working at-home IT issues whilst away! - traditional DDNS does not work with CGNAT.

Their support staff have been very helpful at every contact as was their engineer who carried out the install for me. A few things of note, static IP is tied to the router so when I changed router I had to contact support to get them to reset the cache on their end, initially I had reliability issues, turns out the 2.5Gbe network cable supplied with the ONT and used by the engineer was of poor quality, having swapped it for a length of Cat 6A all the stability issues vanished.

I didn't use their router (Asus ET12 Pro) as it didn't have a dedicated wireless backhaul channel and didn't integrate nicely with my existing mesh, instead opting to purchase an Asus BE-98 which is happily providing the max speed my devices support.

Started well but problems have arisen.Trying to call out is patchy, incoming calls non existent for the last two weeks Incoming calls say ‘out orifice the area’ which is not true, they are local calls. In coming calls just receive the message that the number is unexceptable, try again later.
Have tried all the usual things, unplugging router and answer machine ( other phones in the quad set not working either).
Had a problem for a while that the charge in the handsets kept dying in the middle of even a short phone call.
The broadband is fine, it’s just the landline where there are problems which is a difficulty as it is my main way of communicating.

Been with YouFibre for a month so far, not had any issues with the actual service, yes there were installation issues however these were unforeseen and were resolved by the executive team and CEO.

Since the service has been in place there haven't been any issues, everything has been operational and the price has been excellent.

I know others have mentioned the lack of billing portal however I can confirm that it will be with us sooner rather than later and is something the team are actively working on.


I will update the review in future as everything goes.

If your only alternative to YouFibre is Virgin Media then you may as well give it a go. It's almost as unreliable but noticeably cheaper.

The on site team are good.

I have run out of positives now.

We've been with this ISP for a month now and have not had a single day without internet dropping. It's 40% cheaper than our old frovider for "the same speed" but the connection never drops and gives us over 300Mb/s of an evening when YouFibre can't hit 40Mb/s.

13 days after install, we decided it wasn't worth the hassle and tried to cancel. Youfibre have decided that we are outside of the 14 day cooling off period. This is ongoing, they will try to fix the speeds but in the meantime, I'm paying for two connections, only one of which is worth a penny. It isn't these guys.

While their 1Gb (and presumably 2Gb) speeds are good, their support leaves a whole lot on the table.

Initial turnup was met with a few growing pains; I had about a three week lead time from the initial order to the actual turnup. On-site teams were good. I'd ordered a static IP which was not initially provisioned and took about a week to sort. Only one support person took the time to work through the issue (though was unable to resolve it at the time) and no higher tier teams were available to chat with.

Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and I've upgraded to the 8Gb package. They were unable to test the service themselves, in addition to knocking my static IP out, twice, in as many days, when moving to the service. Then deprovisioned the ONT full stop. They put the onus on me to validate my gear can do the speeds, which I indicated they need to prove it can do it. At best I was getting about 4.5Gbps via iperf to whatever public servers I could find.

I've since downgraded to the 2Gb service (waiting for the change as I type) as they cannot figure it out from what I can tell and again, CS is useless. Services marked in the middle as neither good nor bad as no additional service was offered or used. Value still good in the context of speed vs cost.

Overall, I'm very happy with YouFibre.

I joined them in September 2022 after leaving PlusNet for a faster provider. The first 3 months were free, thereafter I've been paying £35 per month on an 18m contract (ending March 2024).

I'm on the 500 package and the connection speed is consistent. I have a mesh network so get good coverage throughout the house.

My only criticism is that they have no online portal for billing, etc. Apparently this is coming soon. However, their customer service is excellent - a power surge fried my modem and they sent someone the next day to replace this at no cost to me. Getting in touch with them to report the issue was quick and without drama - the first person I spoke with resolved the issue.

I'm unwilling to pay £35pm for broadband once this contact ends so will look at what else is on offer. I see YouFibre now offer a 150Mbps package at £21pm so i'll likely switch to that if it's still available. 500Mbps is nice to have, but I don't think I actually need it!

Both my neighbour and I have experienced the same thing. Youfibre cancelled our installation appointments without informing us. We both now have external wires hanging outside our houses. We both stayed with our current providers as we were left high and dry by Youfibre. Avoid!
