Gigaclear Broadband

Gigaclear Broadband: What's on offer?

Gigaclear offer full fibre to the premises (FTTP) broadband connections for homes and businesses in rural and underserved areas.

So far, they've mainly connected properties in South and central England, including Berkshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire, Essex, Northamptonshire, Wiltshire, and West Oxfordshire.

However, they've also started work in Devon and Somerset, as well as most recently in Yorkshire.

Where Gigaclear is available, it is highly likely properties will be connected to full fibre for the first time, with a 90% coverage rate in areas with no other full fibre options.

Customers can choose from one of the following Gigaclear broadband deals:

• Superfast 200
• Ultrafast 500
• Hyperfast 900

These packages come with a WiFi 6 enabled Linksys Velop router, and the option to add a digital home phone line and additional WiFi nodes to boost coverage around the home.

Gigaclear broadband speeds

Gigaclear offer a range of ultrafast and gigabit-capable broadband speeds by connecting customers to their full fibre to the home network.

Customers can choose from one of the following broadband speeds:

The advertised averages here must be received by at least 50% of Gigaclear customers during the peak hours of 8pm to 10pm in the evening when the network is busiest.

Unlike Openreach FTTP and Virgin Media, Gigaclear offer customers symmetrical upload speeds, so they're as fast as the headline download speed.

Faster upload speeds can be beneficial for customers sharing content online, taking video calls, and online gaming.

New customer offers

Gigaclear offer new customers money-off for the initial minimum term period of 18-months, as well as free setup and installation.

At the time of writing, there are Black Friday offers reducing the price of all of the plans.

In addition to these introductory price offers, Gigaclear also offer customers who take their faster Ultrafast 500 and Hyperfast 900 plans a free Smart WiFi Node to help boost wireless coverage around the home, and it's worth £6 per month.

Key terms of Gigaclear broadband

Gigaclear broadband deals come with a minimum contract term of 18 months. During this period prices are generally reduced, but it's not possible to exit the contract or cancel the service without paying early termination charges.

While the provider used to offer fixed prices, they have now implemented annual price rises in contracts taken out since March 2022. However, they now say 'prices may rise', but also that if they do go up, customers will be given one month's notice and the option to end their contract early if they want to.

Finally, while Gigaclear provide customers with Linksys Velop routers, including in the Smart WiFi add-on plan, these remain property of Gigaclear, and will need to be returned when a customer ends their service.
