Hyperoptic rings in ten-year anniversary with unbeatable offers

Hyperoptic, the UK's hyperfast broadband provider, is ringing in its tenth anniversary with ten days of celebrations. It will be offering an incredible deal for new residential customers - 1Gb for £20*. Existing residential customers will have an opportunity to win a 1Gb package for ten years via a social media competition**. New business customers can enjoy three months of 1Gb connectivity for free***.

Hyperoptic pioneered the switch to full fibre broadband. Ten years ago, it connected its first building to its full fibre network, giving UK residents access to symmetrical gigabit broadband speeds for the first time. The average UK broadband speed at the time was 6.8Mbit/s. Since then, it has catalysed a market shift by taking the UK's broadband infrastructure to the next level and raising the expectations for connectivity in British households. Today, around one in four UK homes can now get full fibre broadband services.

The deals and competition will run for ten days – from today until midnight on 20 October. New customers who want to join Hyperoptic's pioneer party and enjoy almost 70% off its iconic 1Gb broadband, can redeem the offer on its website or via phone. Meanwhile, existing customers can win a 1Gb broadband-only package, free for ten years, via a competition that is running on Twitter and Facebook.

Over the last decade, Hyperoptic has scaled from a startup to a multi-national business that employs over 1,550 people across Britain and Serbia. It has raised over £600m to fuel its growth, and its network now spans 57 UK towns and cities – an increase of 15 from 2020. It is the trusted partner of over 50 councils and 250 developers, and has been specified as part of the build process for all new homes by Barratt Homes, CALA Homes and Avant Homes.

Dana Tobak, CEO, Hyperoptic: “Today marks a huge milestone in Hyperoptic's history. Back in 2011, the notion of 'gigabit broadband' sounded very futuristic. The market was ripe for disruption, but we were competing as a start-up against some industry giants whose existing technology was not compatible with the delivery of next generation broadband, and who didn't want to cannibalise their customer base.

"The success of Hyperoptic is down to the support of our incredible people, clients and customers, who have always been our biggest advocates. We couldn’t be more excited for the next ten years and delivering on our ambitious growth plans, where we continue to scale our network and set the best practice example for our industry."
