How fast is Connect Fibre, really?
Full fibre delivers its advertised speed regardless of your distance from the exchange, unlike the copper-based products it replaces. See FTTP vs FTTC vs cable for what the labels mean.
Price rises: what actually happens
None. Connect Fibre sells on a flat price held for the length of the term, with no mid-contract increases, and includes a Wi-Fi 7 router across the range.

Who owns Connect Fibre, and is it stable?
Founded in 2019 and trading independently, with backing from investors including Foresight Group.
We flag this because it matters: the altnet sector is consolidating hard, and knowing who actually owns your provider is reasonable due diligence. Our guide on whether altnets are safe to switch to explains what protections you have either way.
Checking availability
Altnet coverage is decided street by street, not town by town, so two houses on one road can have different options. If Connect Fibre covers you, their own site is the place to order. If you want to know what we can price and check at your address right now, use the checker below.
Connect Fibre: frequently asked questions
Does Connect Fibre fix the price for the whole contract?
Yes. It sells on a flat price with no mid-contract increases, so what you agree on day one is what you pay until the term ends. On a two-year deal that is worth more than a slightly lower headline price that rises each April.
What is Connect Mesh, and do I need it?
It is a mesh Wi-Fi system bundled into the Wall to Wall packages, designed to spread usable Wi-Fi through a house that a single router struggles with. If your rooms furthest from the router are already fine, the standalone tier is cheaper. If they are not, the bundle is generally better value than buying mesh kit separately.
What contract lengths does Connect Fibre offer?
Both 12 and 24 months. The shorter term costs more per month, which is the normal trade-off: you pay a little extra for the freedom to leave sooner. Installation is free either way and a Wi-Fi 7 router is included across the range.
Where does Connect Fibre actually cover?
Villages and market towns across the East Midlands and neighbouring counties, on a network still being built out. Because altnet coverage is decided street by street rather than town by town, the only reliable answer for your own address is a live check.
