Free Routers - 24 Month Contract Packages

Maximum of 1 free router per address in any 24 month period.

Unless the router model is specified in package description we will normally provide a TP-Link VX230v AX1800 WiFi6 router for services with a speed of 1Gbps or less, for services with a higher speed we will normally provide a TP-Link EX820v AX6000 WiFi6 router. If the VX230v or EX820v is out of stock we reserve the right to provide an alternative compatible router.

We offer heavily discounted routers for customers in a 24 month contract who wish to upgrade from a less than 1Gbps service to a faster speed, see our price list for details.

Discounted Routers

A £30.00 discount will be applied to any WiFi6(AX) or WiFi7(BE) router order at the same time as your broadband connection.

Additional routers and WiFi mesh nodes will be charged at full RRP.

Slow Speeds

If your downstream throughput speed is lower than the specified minimum speed for 3 consecutive days (tested via our background TR143 speed tests (TP-Link), inbuilt speed test interface (Asus) or our iperf3 instance) and we are unable to help you attain a higher speed through standard fault diagnostics then you can choose to move to a cheaper package or leave your contract without penalty.

Gigabit Connection

To achieve maximum possible throughput speeds (900-950Mbit/s after TCP/IP overheads) on gigabit packages you will require a high specification router (WiFi6 or better) and suitable client hardware (most phones, tablets and older computers will only manage around 500-700Mbps throughput). See ISP Review 'Why Buying Gigabit Broadband Doesn’t Always Deliver 1Gbps') for some more information on Gigabit performance issues.

Faster Than Gigabit Connection

Faster than gigabit FTTP services are normally delivered by a 2.5Gbps ONT, your router must have a 2.5Gbps WAN port in order to use these services. Due to hardly any client hardware supporting faster than gigabit connections only speed test results directly from your routers speedtest.net client (Asus) or through our TR143 background speed tests (TP-Link) will be accepted when diagnosing slow speed issues.

Openreach FTTP

FTTP 'broadband only' connections are available with a choice of 1, 12 or 24 month contract lengths.

SoGEA

Broadband speeds are affected by your proximity to your local telephone street cabinet & quality of your line. Estimated synchronisation speeds for your line are based on a clean line (i.e. in good condition), the DSL router being connected directly to the Openreach master socket and computer being connected via ethernet cable (any speed related issue will require this setup in order to do diagnostics).

SoGEA connections on 1 month contracts are subject to an installation charge of £60.00, installation is free for 12&24 month contracts.

SoGEA connections are subject to a choice of 1, 12 & 24 month contracts.

SoGEA services are contended so throughput speed may be below synchronisation speed at peak times, if you require an un-contended service please speak to us about out EtherPro Leased Lines.

Mobile Broadband

Mobile broadband speeds are completely dependent on the quality of the H3G 4G/5G signal at the location where you are using the device.

Indicated service quality is based on results from the OFCom mobile availability API at the address you selected when doing an availability check.

A one off £36.00 early termination charge applies if you cancel the service before your contracted end date.

A 650GB per month fair usage policy applies, your service will be restricted if you exceed this amount.
