FTTP broadband deals in the UK
Last reviewed: 22 March 2026
Short answer: FTTP gives stronger consistency and often much higher upload and download speeds than copper-based lines, but the right deal still depends on your address, usage, and full-term cost.
What to check before choosing FTTP broadband deals
- Whether FTTP is live at your exact property.
- Installation lead time and any one-off setup charges.
- Contract term and in-contract rise wording.
Watch-outs for FTTP broadband deals
- Not every full fibre plan is best value for light-use households.
- Faster speed tiers can be unnecessary if your usage is modest.
- Introductory pricing can change over contract life.

FTTP availability and what it means for your address
FTTP (fibre to the premises) delivers a fibre-optic cable directly into your home, replacing the copper phone line used by older FTTC connections. This means faster, more stable speeds with stronger upload performance and lower latency. FTTP is the technology behind packages marketed as full fibre, ultrafast, and gigabit broadband.
As of early 2026, FTTP is available to approximately 78-84% of UK premises via Openreach, with additional coverage from alternative networks like CityFibre, Hyperoptic, and Community Fibre. Availability varies street by street, so a postcode check is essential.
FTTP is different from gigabit broadband. FTTP is the connection technology; gigabit (900-1,000+ Mbps) is one speed tier available on FTTP. You can get FTTP at lower speed tiers (100-300 Mbps) at lower prices. See the gigabit broadband deals page for the highest speed tier specifically.
