Our verdict

1pBroadband suits UK households that want fibre and a hub in the box without paying extra for hardware. Entry pricing starts at £25 a month, and once the minimum term ends monthly prices run £37 to £48, so the real comparison is between those two figures and not the first one alone.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Entry at £25 a month, and the router comes as standard: Free Premium Wi-Fi 6 Hub included, so the first bill is not inflated by hardware.
  • No in-contract price rises: the annual increase applies only after the 18 month minimum term, and it comes with notice.
  • Download speeds reach 950 Mbps, with uploads of 15 to 115 Mbps that stay usable for calls and backups.
  • Support covers phone, email and help centre, so help is reachable by more than one route.

Cons

  • Plans run for 18 months, and disconnecting inside that window brings an early termination charge.
  • After the term, monthly prices run £37 to £48, above the £25 entry figure, so the low headline does not last.
  • A setup fee of £9.99 is due at the start, and setup fees rank 60 of 86 on our data.

Who it suits

  • Households in the UK on a full-fibre or part-fibre route who want the router cost absorbed into the plan.
  • People who can commit to the 18 month minimum term and want a monthly figure that holds inside it.
  • Shoppers willing to compare the £25 entry price against the £37 to £48 post-term price before signing.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Abissnet, for anyone who wants a full-fibre only range and no part-fibre plan in the list.
  • Astound, for homes on a hybrid cabinet who want cable as well as fibre to compare.
  • EarthLink, for addresses with no fixed line that need a wireless or satellite route.

Core features

Download speeds top out at 950 Mbps, and upload speeds run 15 to 115 Mbps. The upload figure is the one most households feel day to day, on video calls, cloud backups and sending large files, and it sits well under the download headline. Both numbers describe the range across the plans listed, so the plan you pick decides which end of it you land on. Anyone who works from home and moves files, rather than only streaming, should read the upload end of that range first.

Plans and prices

Entry pricing starts at £25 a month on the entry plan. Setting up costs £9.99, which is the first line to add when you work out the opening payment. After the minimum term, monthly prices run £37 to £48, so the introductory figure is not the figure you keep. That gap is the most useful calculation on this page for anyone staying past the term: build the budget from the post-term price and treat the entry price as the opening months only.

How it compares on our data

Against the providers listed here, 1pBroadband sits below the middle on the entry price and higher up on what you pay later. Entry price ranks 69 of 95. The price after the minimum term ranks 19 of 36, which is the stronger of the two. Setup fees rank 60 of 86, and top download speed ranks 90 of 114. Put together, the renewal price is the number that earns attention here, not the headline speed.

The company behind it

The service is sold by Telecommunications Management Limited, a company based in the United Kingdom. Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so help is reachable by phone, by email or through the help centre without leaving the provider. The contract terms, the support desk and the annual price review all sit with the same legal entity, which keeps the paperwork in one place. For a household weighing UK providers, that is a plain setup: one company, one set of terms, one place to take a problem.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost to join 1pBroadband?+

Entry pricing starts at £25 a month on the entry plan. Setting up the connection costs £9.99 on top, so the first payment runs higher than the headline figure implies. Every month after that is the plan cost itself, with nothing extra listed for the line.

What will I pay once the minimum term is over?+

Monthly prices run £37 to £48 after the minimum term ends, above the £25 entry figure. For anyone planning to stay past the term, budget around that post-term price rather than the entry one, because the entry figure only covers the opening months.

Do prices rise while I am on the contract?+

There are no in-contract price rises. The annual increase applies only after the minimum term and comes with notice beforehand, so the monthly figure holds for the length of the 18 month term and the first change lands at renewal.

How long is the contract and what if I leave early?+

The minimum term is 18 months on the listed plans. Disconnecting inside that window brings an early termination charge under the terms, so the commitment is real. Plan on staying for the term or budget for leaving early.

How fast is the connection?+

Download speeds top out at 950 Mbps, and upload speeds run 15 to 115 Mbps. The upload range is what shows up in daily use, on video calls, cloud backups and sending large files, so read it against how your household actually uses the line.

Is a router included?+

The hardware is part of the plan, listed as Free Premium Wi-Fi 6 Hub included. That means the only extra outlay at the start is the £9.99 setup charge rather than a router bought on top of it, which is worth noting for a first connection.

Where can I get it?+

Service is limited to GB, and the technology listed is fttp and fttc. That mix means a full-fibre address and a part-fibre address are both possible outcomes at the same property, so the address check is the sensible first step before weighing any plan.

How do I contact support?+

Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so phone, email and a help centre are all listed. Phone suits a line that has dropped, email suits anything you want in writing, and the help centre covers routine questions. Live chat is not among the listed channels.

Which company am I contracting with?+

The service is sold by Telecommunications Management Limited, based in the United Kingdom. The same company is named on the terms and sits behind the support desk, so the contract, the pricing and the help all come from one entity rather than a separate reseller.
