Hyperoptic builds its own full fibre network, mostly inside blocks of flats and new-build developments, and connects them one building at a time. If your building is wired, you get symmetrical speeds, so the upload speed is the same as the download speed, often for less than the big names charge.
Hyperoptic says its network passes more than two million homes across dozens of UK towns and cities. Prices can differ from building to building, so check your address.
Our simple pick: Hyperoptic 500Mb on a 24-month contract. When checked, it was cheaper than the 150Mb package, which makes it the obvious choice.

Who Hyperoptic suits
- People living in apartment blocks and new builds that Hyperoptic has already wired.
- Home workers, gamers and streamers who need a fast upload.
- Anyone who wants flexibility, as Hyperoptic offers 12-month and rolling monthly plans as well as 24-month deals.
Who should look elsewhere
- Most houses. Hyperoptic’s network is focused on multi-occupancy buildings, so many streets can’t get it.
- Anyone who wants a TV package. Hyperoptic doesn’t offer one.
Price rises
Hyperoptic adds a fixed amount each April on its fixed-term contracts, set out in pounds and pence when you order.
Router and Wi-Fi
Hyperoptic offers its Wi-Fi 6 Hyperhub with every package. Its Total Wi-Fi add-on supplies extra mesh units for larger flats. A static IP address is available as a paid add-on.
Social tariff
Hyperoptic’s Fair Fibre range is one of the best social tariffs in the UK, with gigabit speeds available. See our social tariff guide.

Can I get Hyperoptic without a long contract?
