Rebel Internet broadband speeds

Rebel Internet offer full fibre broadband speeds from 115Mb to 1Gb, while those living in part fibre areas can get superfast speeds of 74Mb.

Upload speeds are asymmetrical, which means they're slower than the headline download speed, but this is common on the Openreach network, including from major providers such as BT, Sky, TalkTalk, and Virgin Media's cable broadband too.

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.

Broadband speed can be affected by the wireless network however, so those in larger homes are likely to benefit from the WiFi mesh boosters available with Rebel Internet.

New customer offers

Customers moving to Rebel Internet for the first time will be able to access their special offers for new customers. Although, Rebel Internet make clear that new and existing customers pay the same price.

Customers who sign up to Rebel Internet's 12- or 24-month plans will benefit from free setup, while those opting for a monthly rolling term will have a setup fee to pay.
