Next update: after 30/09/2026 23:59 when the CityFibre net-new home900 golden ticket closes, or if toob reprints promotional terms.
By: Switch Editorial Team, Switch Squid Ltd
Sources re-verified today: toob promotional terms (golden ticket / CityFibre net-new home900 language).
As of 21 September 2026, toob’s golden ticket still prices CityFibre net-new home900 at £20/mo from activation, then £22 from the April 2027 bill and £24 from the April 2028 bill, on a 24-month minimum with £0 install/activation — but only if you order by 30 September 2026 23:59 and your address qualifies. Soft optional: public home150 tiles around £18 with broader promo language toward early November. Soft context on the broadband hub is fine.
Affiliate honesty: Nest mid 117433 was re-probed on 21 Sep 2026 — zero live toob products. SwitchSquid will not invent pclicks. Primary CTAs = honest toob shop / residential order gate (SEO/cread until feed). No BT Nest secondaries on this page until Deals confirms BT pclicks healthy.

Golden ticket maths (CityFibre net-new home900)
| Period | home900 golden ticket £/mo | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| From activation | £20 | 24-month minimum; £0 install/activation on promo terms |
| From April 2027 bill | £22 | Step-up baked into the ticket |
| From April 2028 bill | £24 | Second step-up |
| Order window | to 30 Sep 2026 23:59 | Opened 9am 4 Aug 2026 per promotional terms |
Eligibility hard gates (read these twice): new toob customers only; select net-new CityFibre addresses; excludes toob’s own-built network; may exclude live CityFibre connections already served; existing toob customers out; auto-applied (no code); cannot stack with other promos / refer-a-friend / codes; add-ons extra.
Soft aside: home150 ~£18 (to ~03/11)
Public home150 tiles have been printing around £18 with step-ups toward £20 / £22 on a 24-month path, with broader promotional language running later than the golden ticket — Deal Research notes soft home150 toward 3 November 2026. That is not the CityFibre net-new home900 golden ticket. Do not conflate SKUs. If your postcode fails the golden-ticket gate, price home150 / standard home900 (~£23→£25→£27 public grid historically) separately on toob’s shop.
Why CityFibre “net-new” matters
CityFibre wholesale is not the same as toob’s own-built footprint. The golden ticket is deliberately narrow: toob wants incremental CityFibre premises that are not already live on that stack. If you already have an active CityFibre ISP, or you are on toob’s own network, expect the postcode gate to refuse the £20 path even when home900 itself is sellable at a higher grid price.
Run the residential order flow with your exact address. Screenshot the price path (£20 → £22 → £24) before you resign your losing provider. One Touch Switch still applies when leaving another UK ISP — keep both references until the gaining provider confirms.
Cash vs standard home900 and rivals
| Path | Headline | 24m cash ballpark* | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Golden ticket home900 | £20→£22→£24 | ~£20× months to Apr27 + £22 + £24 thereafter within term | CityFibre net-new only; ends 30 Sep 2026 23:59 |
| Standard home900 grid | ~£23→£25→£27 (public) | higher | Wider eligibility; confirm live tile |
| YouFibre YOU 1000 Sep promo | £25 fixed 24m | £600 over 24m at promo | Different altnet; Impact/SEO CTAs |
| Openreach FTTP ~900 | often £28–£35 | varies | Coverage wider; watch rises |
*Exact 24-month cash depends on your activation month vs April bill steps — model with toob’s own calculator / order summary.

Switching steps (20-minute path)
- Confirm you are a new toob customer and your address is CityFibre net-new (not toob own-build).
- Open the residential order / postcode flow via the CTA above.
- Select home900; verify the golden ticket path £20 → £22 → £24 prints on the order summary.
- Note £0 install/activation on the promo path; decline add-ons you do not need.
- Complete One Touch Switch details for your losing ISP; do not cancel early.
- Calendar the 30 Sep 2026 23:59 cliff if you are still deciding — and month 22 for post-term planning.
Decision tree (print this beside the postcode box)
If you are already a toob customer → stop; golden ticket is new-customer only. Price a speed upgrade or wait for a different promo.
If your address is on toob’s own-built network → expect refusal; look at YouFibre / Openreach ISPs instead for this cliff week.
If CityFibre is live to the premise with another ISP already → gate may still refuse “net-new”; have a backup quote ready.
If the order summary shows £20 → £22 → £24 with £0 install → proceed, screenshot, complete One Touch Switch.
If the summary shows ~£23+ standard home900 → you did not get the golden ticket; decide whether standard cash still beats your current ISP before 30 Sep.
Year-1 cash at a pure £20 hold would be £240 before the April 2027 step — but most activations in September 2026 will see several months at £20 then hit £22 on the April 2027 bill inside the first twelve months. Model your exact activation month; do not market “£240 flat” as a promise if your April bill falls inside Year-1.
How SwitchSquid verified this (E-E-A-T)
Promotional terms were re-opened on 21 September 2026 (Europe/London). Nest product search for toob / mid 117433 returned zero live rows — same HARD_BLOCKER as 17 Sep. We publish SEO retailer CTAs rather than invent pclicks. BT Nest secondaries are omitted on this cliff pack per Deals guidance.
Audience: UK home movers and CityFibre-ready premises hunting a sub-£25 gig-class line before month-end — not existing toob customers, not toob own-build postcodes, not business circuits.
Risks and honest caveats
Golden tickets disappear at 23:59 on the cliff date even if marketing emails still circulate. Eligibility refusals are common — have a backup ISP quote. Step-ups to £22 / £24 are part of the deal, not a surprise bill shock if you read the terms. Mid 117433 feed emptiness means we cannot show a Nest deal-card for toob today.
Affiliate disclosure: no Nest toob pclicks invented. Retailer links are SEO until Awin/Impact feed mapping exists for publisher 911601.
