    About Hyperoptic


    Hyperoptic was founded in 2011 to shake up the broadband market, and we're proud to be forever in our customers' corner. Unlike some providers, we deliver full fibre – which means we bring our fibre cabling all the way to the building. And that means an ultra-reliable connection with top speeds over 48x faster than the UK’s average upload.

    But it’s not just our broadband that’s top-notch. With no mid-contract price hikes and more 5-star Trustpilot ratings than Sky, BT and Virgin Media combined, we also know a thing or two about gold-standard service. No wonder we were named Uswitch Broadband Provider of the Year in 2023.
