Hyperoptic

Summary

Hyperoptic is a UK broadband provider that has built its business around full-fibre to the premises (FTTP) connections. When the service is available at your address, the performance is very strong: upload and download speeds are symmetrical, and customers often report a major jump in reliability and capacity compared with legacy infrastructure. The company targets urban apartment blocks, flats and multi-dwelling units in cities and large towns, where its network can deliver its full potential.

Additional Comments

Many users praise the installation process as smooth, the router provided as adequate (or very good) and the customer service staff as responsive and knowledgeable. For example, in independent reviews they report high ratings for speed, reliability and satisfaction in buildings where the network is live.

However, the service does come with some issues. The most important one is coverage: Hyperoptic’s network is not yet universal, and many homes are simply not eligible yet, particularly outside urban centres or in detached houses. For some, the postcode checker may show availability, but actual installation may involve delays or additional work depending on the building. Some customers report that while the speed promise is met, their WiFi range or wired performance in older properties is less than optimal, so as always the in-home setup matters. A further concern is pricing and contract terms: although Hyperoptic has traditionally prided itself on transparent pricing, no mid-contract price rises and simple terms, in recent times the company has signalled some changes to its policy, meaning new customers should check carefully what happens after the initial term and what the renewal or out-of-term pricing will be. Also, while customer service is often praised, there are documented complaints from users who experienced long wait times for support, delays for engineer visits, or had difficulty resolving problems without escalation.

In practical terms, if your property is in a building that Hyperoptic serves and you can get its full-fibre connection, it offers a compelling option: fast symmetrical broadband, modern infrastructure, straightforward terms and a network built for high demand. It is especially attractive for households with many devices, significant upload needs, streaming in multiple rooms or remote working. On the flip side, if you live in a more remote or less-densely built location, or you value all-in-one bundles (broadband + TV + mobile) from a much larger brand, then you might find better availability or pricing options elsewhere.

Great ISP, you can call them up and expect a level of networking knowledge. Speeds are of course great, you can expect to see TCP 900+ download and upload speeds with 1 - 2ms pings around the country. Having a bit of a congestion issue however, when reported to Hyperoptic they said that they expect a bit of congestion even though their website says you'll never experience any slow downs... If you run a speediest at 6am in the morning, you can enjoy the full speed no doubt. Run it later in the day when the rest of your block of flats are online, you're sharing a gigabit switch with them and can expect 400 - 600 download speed but still 900+ upload. The router Hyperoptic provide can handle the gigabit connection, and that's about it, not very interesting other than that. Highly recommend an upgrade to a Netgear R7800 which can also handle gigabit on it's WAN port and has way more features. Another big thing to bear in mind if you move to Hyperoptic, they use CGNAT, so you will need to buy a static IP if you ever wish to port forward (required for hosting your own servers or playing games).

Consistently fast speeds and excellent value + very efficient customer service should you ever need it.
Willsywoo 21 Jan 2019 (reviewed 7 years ago)
I opted for the 150mb package at an initial £22per month. I was impressed with the smooth installation and subsequent speeds. After some initial teething problems, when speeds DID drop (to 98 mbs ~ still faster than my TalkTalk package at £45 per month), the service has been consistently good. Customer Service is good (they even credited me for the times when speeds had dropped)and the service is totally reliable. My yearly contract has come to an end and the new price will be £28.50 pm which is still cheaper than TalkTalk for a far higher speed.

Superb broadband and service
Willsywoo 21 Apr 2018 (reviewed 8 years ago)
I have been very impressed with this provider since joining in January 2018. Hyperoptic is now extending to individual homes/houses in addition to whole blocks of flats etc. Installation is quick and efficient with the fibre-optic cable coming directly into your house. Remarkable value at £22pcm for 150mbs. I regularly get speeds in excess of 300mbs. Good customer service too, although outsourced to Serbia( I believe). I would highly recommend them.
