Fibrus Broadband Deals

Fibrus Broadband: What's on offer?

Fibrus broadband operates an independent full fibre to the home network, with coverage across Northern Ireland and new connections currently being built in North West England.

Fibrus offers customers a choice of three broadband packages:

• Full Fibre 150
• Full Fibre 500
• Full Fibre 1000

Each of these plans includes a WiFi 6 enabled Amazon eero router, with the option to add a home phone line with anytime calls for an additional £9.99 per month.

Fibrus highlights several features with its broadband deals, including:

• No mid-contract price rises - no annual price increases during the minimum term
• Contract buy-out - to help customers switch to Fibrus even if they are still in contract with another provider
• Amazon eero app-based parental controls
• A second Amazon eero router included with Full Fibre 500 and above for improved wireless coverage
• UK-based customer support

There is currently no setup fee for installing Fibrus broadband, and deals come with an 18-month contract and discounted pricing during the introductory period.

Availability of Fibrus broadband

As an independent full fibre network, Fibrus lays its own fibre optic cables to connect customers directly to the Internet.

So far, Fibrus has passed over 440,000 premises across Northern Ireland and Northern England, with availability currently most concentrated in Northern Ireland.

The provider aims to pass a total of 500,000 premises across Northern Ireland, England and Scotland by 2026.

Current availability in England is limited to parts of Cumbria, where Fibrus has received funding through the Government-led Project Gigabit programme.

The Fibrus rollout is funded through a combination of private investment and public funding, including contracts awarded through Project Stratum in Northern Ireland and Project Gigabit in England.

Fibrus broadband speeds

As a full fibre provider, Fibrus only offers ultrafast and gigabit broadband services, with fibre optic cables installed directly into customers' homes.

Customers can choose from the following broadband speeds:

The advertised average speeds must be achieved by at least 50% of Fibrus customers during peak usage hours between 8pm and 10pm.

While upload speeds on Fibrus broadband are not symmetrical, they are faster than equivalent packages on the Openreach FTTP and Virgin Media networks.

The Full Fibre 1000 gigabit package also delivers faster average peak-time download speeds than comparable gigabit plans from BT, Sky and Plusnet.

New customer offers

Fibrus offers introductory discounts for new customers when they sign up for the first time, with reduced pricing applied for the duration of the minimum contract term.

New customers also receive free setup and installation by a network engineer, along with an Amazon eero router.

In some cases, Fibrus may also pay off an existing broadband contract for customers who are switching while still within another provider's minimum term.

Key terms of Fibrus broadband deals

Fibrus broadband comes with a minimum contract term of 18 months. Cancelling before the end of this period will incur early termination charges, with the provider charging the lesser of £30 or the remaining monthly fees for each month left on the contract.

Fibrus does not apply mid-contract price rises, meaning customers are not affected by annual price increases during their minimum term.

Although the Amazon eero routers and full fibre equipment are provided at no upfront cost, they remain the property of Fibrus and must be returned if a customer cancels their service, or a replacement charge may apply.
