WightFibre Broadband Deals

About WightFibre

WightFibre provides a different kind of broadband – full-fibre, ultrafast and future-proof. Their full-fibre broadband is of a ‘point to point’ design which means every connected home gets its own dedicated fibre optic connection – so no sharing with your neighbours.  This makes the Isle of Wight one of the best-connected places in the world with some of the world’s fastest broadband speeds, with upload speeds the same as download speeds.  Already over 25,000 homes on the Island can receive their different kind of broadband and this is set to rise to over 60,000 by 2022.

Who is WightFibre?

WightFibre are an Alt Net provider covering the Isle of Wight that specialise in full-fibre connections. As a local Isle of Wight company, they deliver the best possible customer service and all their staff work and live on the Island.

How fast is WightFibre?

WightFibre offers a number of packages available at a range of speeds and boasts the fastest available speeds on the Isle of Wight. Broadband connections are measured by two kinds of speed: download speed and upload speed. WightFibre’s service is symmetrical so upload is the same as download and their speed is guaranteed into the gateway of each property so whatever speed you sign up for, they guarantee that is the minimum speed you will get to your gateway. This is something very few ISP’s offer and it also does not matter how rural you are, if you are able to get connected to our Full-Fibre network, the speeds are guaranteed. Whatever your requirements, there’s a good range of speeds available with WightFibre broadband packages. Their speeds range from the full-fibre 50 package with 50Mbps up to 900Mbps full-fibre 900. 

Customers in need of broadband to browse simple web pages and send emails should consider opting for a more basic package, while customers needing fast broadband for downloading, streaming, and gaming should take a look at WightFibre’s premium packages.

How much does WightFibre cost?

When considering the cost of full-fibre broadband it is important to understand that full-fibre is the next generation of broadband connection. Just like a new mobile phone, the newer it is the higher the price it carries. WightFibre’s pricing starts at £21.95 per month for 50Mbps, this is a competitive price and as they own their own network they can set the price they choose. WightFibre’s 900Mbps package is priced at £55 per month. There are better deals out there for Gigabit and close to Gigabit speeds but not available in the area. This makes WightFibre a fantastic option for those on the Isle of Wight in need of 900Mbps capable speeds.

How long is the minimum contract length with WightFibre?

The minimum contract length with WightFibre is 24 months. This is a pretty reasonable minimum contract length and most providers offer contracts of between 12 and 24 months.

How do I check if WightFibre is in my area?

To check if WightFibre is available in your area head to the WightFibre website and enter your postcode. This will not only show you if WightFibre is available but also what realistic maximum speeds you can expect. Do not worry if they are not in your area, searching like this shows the provider where demand is coming from so gives you a greater chance of being able to get their packages in the future when they expand.

What is WightFibre’s coverage in the UK?

As an Alt Net, WightFibre covers areas of the country where larger providers are in low development or areas that are deemed to be too expensive to cover. WightFibre operates exclusively on the Isle of Wight. If you’re planning on switching to WightFibre, the fastest way to check if they provide coverage in your area is to use the postcode checker on WightFibre’s home page. If you do not live on the Isle of Wight, you will not be able to get WightFibre’s services.

What sort of router do you get with WightFibre?

The type of router provided with a broadband package is just as important as the speeds you expect with it. For example, if you purchased Gigabit speed broadband but your router was not Gigabit capable, you would not be able to get the advertised speeds. This then makes the choice of router a very important factor in choosing a broadband package. WightFibre provides an OpenSync gateway router.
