BeFibre Broadband

BeFibre Broadband: What's on offer?

BeFibre are a full fibre broadband provider, who work with a network called Full Fibre Ltd to bring ultrafast broadband to small and medium-sized towns that have otherwise been overlooked by larger providers in England.

BeFibre offer customers a choice of four full fibre broadband speeds and three contract lengths, including a flexible monthly plan:

• Be150: 150Mbps
• Be500: 500Mbps
• Be900: 900Mbps
• Be2300: 2300Mbps

The first three deals can be taken with any of the below contract lengths, while Be2300 is only available with 12 or 18-month terms:

• 18 months
• 12 months
• 1 month

All plans come with a WiFi 6 enabled mesh Linksys router, with no setup fees and no mid-contract price rises, so the price advertised will remain the same for the length of the minimum term, with no unexpected increases.

Benefits of BeFibre broadband include:

• No mid-contract price rises - so the price won't go up while you're within a minimum term period
• Free WiFi 6 enabled mesh router made by Linksys
• 30 Day Be Guarantee - if you're not happy with the service you can cancel penalty free within 30 days
• Optional BeBoost whole home WiFi service for an extra £8 per month
• Optional BeTalk digital home phone line with unlimited calls for an extra £10 per month
• Optional Static IP address for those who work from home for £4 extra per month

BeFibre broadband speeds

BeFibre offer ultrafast and gigabit-capable broadband speeds, with symmetrical download and upload speeds and unlimited usage across all plans.

Customers can choose from:

Advertised average download speeds must be received by at least 50% of a provider's customer base during the busiest times of 8pm to 10pm in the evening. So, these headline speeds are a reliable indication of the speed a customer will receive.

Symmetrical upload speeds are another string to BeFibre's bow, with many full fibre providers, including BT, Sky, TalkTalk, and Virgin Media, offering much slower upload speeds, which could be noticeable when working from home, video calling, or gaming online.

New customer offers

New customers of BeFibre broadband can access special offers when they sign up online through the 'Get Deal' buttons in the table above.

These offers include money off for an initial period and free setup and installation.

For those customers who are still within a minimum term contract with another provider but who want to switch to BeFibre broadband, the provider offers a contract buy-out option with up to £150 early cancellation fees reimbursed for those with at least 3 months left on their existing contract.

To access the contract buy-out, customers should sign up for BeFibre online using the links above, and then submit proof of your existing contract cancellation through BeFibre's website.

Key terms for BeFibre broadband deals

BeFibre broadband comes with a minimum term contract period of either 18, 12 or 1 month, depending on the option chosen at the time of joining.

For those on longer 18- or 12-month contracts, monthly prices are cheaper, but leaving early can result in early cancellation fees becoming payable.

BeFibre promise no mid-contract price hikes however, so the price at the start of the contract will remain the same for the entire duration of the minimum term, with no unexpected increases even if inflation rises again.

While the Linksys WiFi 6 and any mesh boosters are provided by BeFibre as part of the service and additional BeBoost add-on, these will need to be returned to the provider if the contract is cancelled at any point.
