ISP BT Makes UK FTTP Home Broadband Packages Even Cheaper

UK ISP BT has today launched a range of discounts for new customers, which among other things knocks their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) based ultrafast and gigabit speed home broadband packages down to some of the cheapest monthly prices that they’ve ever offered. The setup fee is also now free.

As usual new customers can expect to receive an included wireless router, a 24-month contract term, unlimited data usage, Cloud storage (online backup), Virus Protect, Parental Controls, Call Protect (stops nuisance calls) when bundled with phone, the Stay Fast Guarantee (get the speeds they promise or £20 back) and free access to BT’s national network of public WiFi hotspots.

BT often run weekly special offers, which usually last until the same time next week and are rarely worth mentioning in the news (i.e. the changes aren’t big enough), although on this occasion the price drop on their full fibre packages is much more noteworthy. For example, their Full Fibre 100 (c.150Mbps) plan has fallen from £39.99 to £35.99, and it’s a similar story for the faster tiers.

Take note that BT, much like several other big providers, will currently increase the monthly price you pay each year from March 2022 by the rate of inflation (i.e. the Consumer Price Index rate, as published in January each year) plus 3.9%. The packages below are all excluding a phone service, but you can optionally add that for an additional £2 per month (previously the fee was £5).

NOTE: Some packages include BT Reward Cards, which are preloaded MasterCards.

Full Fibre 900
Average Download of 900Mbps (110Mbps upload)

BT seems to have neglected to show a post-contract price for their Full Fibre 500 tier in the legal small print, so we haven’t been able to include that (i.e. it looks like they swapped to the 500Mbps tier from the 300Mbps one and forgot to update those details).
