YouFibre

YouFibre is a UK-based "altnet" (alternative network) provider that specializes in high-speed, full-fibre (FTTP) broadband. Since they operate an independent network—built in partnership with Netomnia—they do not rely on traditional copper phone lines.

Core Services

• Ultrafast Full Fibre Broadband: They offer a range of speeds, typically starting from 200 Mbps and scaling up to an advertised 8000 Mbps (with 7000 Mbps average speeds on their highest tier). A key feature of their service is symmetrical speeds, meaning your upload and download speeds are generally the same.

• YouPhone (VoIP): Because they don't use traditional landlines, they offer a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) add-on. This allows you to keep the functionality of a home phone and retain your existing number by routing calls over your broadband connection.

• Whole Home Wi-Fi: For larger properties or homes with Wi-Fi "not-spots," they offer mesh Wi-Fi boosters (YouMesh) to extend coverage throughout the premises. They provide Wi-Fi 7-compatible routers with their service.

• Contract Flexibility: YouFibre provides options for both fixed-term contracts (typically 18 months) and more flexible, rolling monthly contracts.

Service Features & Policies

• Fixed Pricing: They market themselves on "fairer" deals, often emphasizing no in-contract price rises.

• Hardware: They typically include a Wi-Fi 7 Hub in their packages.

• Installation: Being a full-fibre service, installation involves running fibre-optic cables directly into your home.

• No TV Service: Unlike some major providers (like Sky or Virgin), YouFibre does not provide a bundled TV service. Customers are expected to use their broadband connection for streaming services via apps or devices like Roku or Amazon Firestick.

• Support: They place a strong emphasis on customer support, providing 24/7 technical assistance and an app for managing your account, troubleshooting, and booking engineer visits.

It is worth noting that because they are an independent network, their coverage is not nationwide and is limited to specific areas where Netomnia has deployed infrastructure. You can check availability for your specific postcode on their website.
