Hyperoptic delivers city-focused gigabit fibre broadband across the UK, specialising in apartment and multi-dwelling installs. Expect symmetrical speeds up to 1Gbps, straightforward plans with an included router, and fast activation where the network is live in your building.
Why Hyperoptic
Fast fibre, simple plans, building-focused installs
The kit: router and ports
Most Hyperoptic plans include a high-performance Wi‑Fi router ready for gigabit speeds, with multiple gigabit Ethernet ports for wired TVs, consoles and workstations. The router is configured for plug-and-play activation; advanced users can manage basic settings through the online portal. For denser homes, consider your own mesh system to extend coverage beyond a single central router.
Installation: building-based fibre
Hyperoptic’s engineers install a wall-mounted fibre terminal (ONT) in supported flats, bringing full fibre directly into the property. Installation appointments are coordinated with building management and typically completed quickly once the building is live. Availability depends on whether Hyperoptic has rolled out service to your block—check their postcode checker to confirm.
