Price increases

At the end of the minimum term the out of contract price increases by just £2, so customers don't need to worry about a hasty switch or re-contract to avoid a large price hike.

Customers should be aware Community Fibre also increase prices on an annual basis like most providers do now, and they've set this at CPI + 2.9%.

Their price rise is a little less than providers such as BT who increase by CPI + 3.9%, and Virgin Media who now increase by RPI + 3.9%, but doesn't quite match the fixed prices from providers like Hyperoptic.

It's worth noting the starting price when comparing deals however, because even with an annual price rise, £25 per month is a very competitive price.

Alternatives

Other gigabit broadband options for those living in London include Virgin Media, Hyperoptic, and BT Openreach resellers such as BT, Plusnet, and TalkTalk.

Virgin Media has the greatest availability with their Gig1 broadband plan, which currently costs £45 per month, and offers free setup to new customers.

Cheaper gigabit broadband plans are available from Hyperoptic also for £45 per month, with the first three months free, and Plusnet from £41.99 per month.

Hyperoptic's availability is likely to be much more limited with the provider previously focused on connecting apartment blocks and social housing schemes.

Plusnet gigabit broadband is available on the Openreach full fibre network, which has so far passed 10 million premises across the UK and is on target to reach 25 million by the end of 2026.

Even cheaper full fibre plans are also available from Community Fibre, with their 150Mb plan priced at just £20 per month, and their 67Mb plan available from £18 per month.
