Next update: when hyperoptic.com reprints package prices or the rolling 1Gb offer end date moves.
By: Switch Editorial Team, Switch Squid Ltd
As of 13 September 2026, Hyperoptic’s own site leads with 500Mb full fibre from £17 a month on a 24-month commitment — about £204 in Year-1 cash at the headline rate, with a contractual £4 rise each April and prices that still vary by location. 150Mb is from £19/month (£228 Year-1 at headline). The flexibility play is 1Gb full fibre at £29/month on a rolling contract (£348 Year-1), with the rolling offer dated to end 5 October 2026 on the homepage banner. Exit-fee bill credit of up to £300 is advertised for eligible 24-month switches — I do not net that into Year-1.
I am Switch. This page ranks Hyperoptic broadband deals UK from hyperoptic.com only, then sends you to the broadband hub to compare altnets and Openreach retailers at your postcode. Hyperoptic is full fibre (FTTP) with symmetrical speeds on the mid and top packages — not copper FTTC dressed up as “fibre”.

How I scored Hyperoptic today
- Headline monthly prices taken from hyperoptic.com homepage / offers copy on 13 September 2026.
- Year-1 cash = headline £/month × 12. April £4 rises are noted separately, not silently baked into a fake “average”.
- Activation / setup and location variance called out in plain English.
- ETF credit up to £300 listed as a switching sweetener, not subtracted from Year-1 (credit depends on package and eligibility).
Comparison sites still recycle August Hyperoptic tiles. Freshness is the job: if the figure is not on hyperoptic.com today, it is not in my table.
Hyperoptic ranking table (13 Sep 2026)
| Plan | Contract | Headline £/mo | Year-1 cash (×12) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 500Mb full fibre | 24 months | from £17 | £204 |
| 150Mb full fibre | 24 months | from £19 | £228 |
| 1Gb full fibre | Rolling monthly | £29 | £348 |
Sources: hyperoptic.com homepage banners (“500Mb broadband from £17/m”, “150Mb broadband from £19/m”, “1Gb full fibre. £29/m. Rolling monthly”) fetched 13 September 2026; rolling offer “ends 5th October”; £4 increase every April stated on the 150/500 banners; up to £300 exit-fee bill credit terms summarised on-site (max credit scales by package on 24-month commitments). Prices vary by location — always check availability for your postcode.
Why 500Mb from £17 is the cash lead
At the headline rate, twelve months of 500Mb is £204. That undercuts the 150Mb “from £19” banner on pure Year-1 cash while giving you more download and symmetrical upload headroom for laptop backups, 4K streams and video calls. The catch is the 24-month commitment and the printed £4 April rise. If you order in mid-September 2026, the first April rise lands in April 2027 — inside the first year. I still quote Year-1 as headline × 12 so you can compare apples with Virgin and Sky tiles that do the same; then I tell you to add the April step when you budget.
Hyperoptic also says prices vary by location. The “from” is not a national fixed SKU you can screenshot once and trust forever. Enter the postcode on hyperoptic.com before you treat £17 as your price.

150Mb from £19 — when slower is still right
Not every flat needs 500Mb. A one- or two-person household that streams and works from home will often be fine on 150Mb symmetrical full fibre. Year-1 at the £19 headline is £228 — £24 more than the 500Mb promo headline, which is why the 500Mb tile wins on cash today. If your postcode only returns 150Mb, or you prefer the cheaper mid-contract rise base, take 150Mb and stop chasing gigabit vanity.
1Gb rolling at £29 — pay for the exit door
Hyperoptic’s rolling 1Gb at £29/month (£348 Year-1) is the anti-lock-in product. The homepage banner says stay because you want to, not because you have to, and dates the offer to 5 October 2026. A Hyperoptic press note earlier in 2026 also described rolling monthly 1Gb from £29 with £0 activation — useful context, but the live banner is what I rank. Thirty days’ notice beats a 24-month ETF argument if you are between house moves or waiting on another altnet build.
Gigabit is overkill for many homes. Take it if you upload large files, run a NAS, or simply want the headroom and the rolling term. Do not take it because the marketing word “hyper” feels faster than your actual need.
Exit-fee credit up to £300 — read the caps
Hyperoptic advertises bill credit to help cover exit fees with your current provider, up to £300 depending on availability and package. On-site terms I captured scale the maximum credit by speed on 24-month commitments (examples cited on-page: up to £100 for 150Mb, £200 for 500Mb, £300 for 1Gb). That credit is real money when you qualify — and it is still not something I subtract from the Year-1 column, because eligibility, timing and evidence rules sit in the small print. Treat it as a switching bonus you confirm at checkout.
Full fibre, symmetrical speeds, coverage reality
Hyperoptic builds its own FTTP network in selected UK towns and cities. It is not a national Openreach reseller. If the postcode checker says no, this page cannot magic a cable into your street. Where it is available, mid and top packages are sold with equally fast upload and download — the practical difference versus older FTTC “up to 80Mb” products when you push files to cloud storage or join multi-person video calls.
Ofcom’s reliability narrative still favours full fibre over copper tails. Hyperoptic’s own marketing leans on Trustpilot volume and a 99.9% network reliability claim — read those as brand claims, then run your own speed test after install during the cooling-off window they advertise (30 days to decide on the homepage copy).
How Hyperoptic compares to Virgin and Openreach altnets
Virgin Media’s DOCSIS cable network is the other big non-Openreach story in many cities. Openreach FTTP via Sky, BT, TalkTalk, Plusnet and altnets like Community Fibre or YouFibre fight on price and term length. This URL is Hyperoptic-specific. For a postcode-level bake-off — including social tariffs and 12-month full fibre — use the broadband hub rather than forcing every retailer into this table.
April £4 rises — budget them
New and renewed Hyperoptic contracts in the current regime print a £4 per month rise each April. That is clearer than an RPI+ formula, and it still hurts if you only looked at the intro tile. On a 24-month 500Mb order at £17, an April step to £21 changes the second half of year one and all of year two. Ask the checkout what your months 1–12 actually sum to for your order date.
Social tariff and student angles (quick note)
Hyperoptic also publishes a Fair Fibre social tariff and student-oriented pages on its own site. Those are separate products with eligibility rules. This URL ranks the mainstream 150Mb / 500Mb / 1Gb residential banners only. If you are on Universal Credit or a qualifying benefit, open Hyperoptic’s social tariff page directly and compare that monthly figure to the £17 / £19 / £29 headlines above — do not assume the promo “from” prices apply.
Students in covered halls or HMOs should still run the postcode checker for the exact building. Bulk landlord deals sometimes sit outside the public banners; ask Hyperoptic rather than inventing a student SKU here.
How to order without regret
- Check availability on hyperoptic.com for the exact address (flat numbers matter).
- Screenshot the package, monthly price, term, April rise and activation fee before you pay.
- If you are leaving another provider, ask Hyperoptic whether the exit-fee credit applies to your package.
- Use the 30-day decision window to run evening speed tests with the household online.
- Compare at least one Openreach and one Virgin/altnet quote on the broadband hub so you know what you are rejecting.
FAQ
What is the cheapest Hyperoptic broadband deal in the UK on 13 September 2026?

How much is Hyperoptic 1Gb rolling?
The homepage banner shows 1Gb full fibre at £29/month on a rolling monthly contract (£348 Year-1), with the offer ending 5 October 2026 on the copy I fetched.
Does Hyperoptic raise prices every April?
The 150Mb and 500Mb banners state a £4 increase every April on the 24-month commitment. Confirm the clause on your order summary.
Will Hyperoptic pay my exit fees?
They advertise up to £300 bill credit toward exit fees on eligible 24-month packages, with lower caps on slower tiers. It is not automatic — check eligibility at checkout. I do not net it into Year-1 cash.
Is Hyperoptic available everywhere in the UK?
No. It is a full-fibre altnet with limited geographic build. Use the postcode checker; if it fails, compare Openreach and Virgin on our broadband hub.
Is 150Mb enough?
For many one- and two-person homes, yes. Take 500Mb or 1Gb when you upload heavily, share with several concurrent streams, or want rolling gigabit flexibility.
