Overview

  • New Hyperoptic sign-ups will face mid-contract hikes of up to 12% on entry-level and superfast packages, with 50Mb and 150Mb deals rising from £26 to £29 per month.
  • Customers joining after June 3, 2025 will incur an annual £3 increase in their monthly bill from April 2026 onward.
  • Existing Hyperoptic subscribers and Fair Fibre plan members remain on current rates through their contract unless they switch to a new deal.
  • The provider abandoned its previous campaign opposing mid-contract increases and says the new structure offers clearer price comparisons for customers.
  • Competitors such as BeFibre, toob and YouFibre continue to offer fixed contract pricing, while mobile operators like Giffgaff and Lebara have pledged no mid-contract hikes until 2026.
