Summary

Hyperoptic is the UKs largest gigabit broadband provider and takes its name from the super-fast speeds it offers. It can do this by using its own network, exclusively using fibre and has an urban focus on apartment blocks/buildings in busy city centres.

Features

Hyperoptic offers among the fastest broadband available in the UK today. There is also the novel option to try their broadband alongside your current broadband on a trial basis for 30 days. If you aren’t wowed by the performance you can cancel the contract within the 30 days, no strings attached. Also keep an eye out for voucher code deals on our site which will reduce the monthly cost of Hyperoptic broadband.

Broadband speeds

Bare minimum average speeds of 50Mbps are ideal for households with a few devices and general web use. Not bad at all considering the introductory price of £19.95 per month.  150Mbps and 500Mbps are also offered providing capacity for more device users and 4K streaming. Hyperoptic’s unique offering is the 1Gbps package, there is nothing out there to rival it! Having said that though it doesn’t come cheap at around £50 per month. If you need fast broadband, want to stream, browse, download and game to your hearts content and use Ultra HD TV then this is the ideal package.

For those that regularly deal with uploading large files it will be pleasing to learn that upgraded packages offer symmetrical speeds, that is upload speeds are the same as download speeds.

Hyperoptic broadband router

Anyone who signs up to a Hyperoptic broadband package will receive a free Hyperhub router. Over a wired connection this is able to support 1Gbps speeds. It is important to note that you won’t get the top speeds if you go wireless. If you are in an area lucky enough to be covered the installation process takes on average an hour whereby an engineer will install a ‘hyperoptic socket’ within your home. If it’s a whole building that needs connecting then this will take longer as the building will have to be assessed to see if it is viable.
