Our verdict on each
1pBroadband
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.
beeline
Beeline is a network-run prepaid brand for people in Russia who want a one-month SIM with a small data allowance or unlimited data and no long tie-in. Plans sit in a single market, the entry price is RUB 400 and the unlimited plan is RUB 700.

Pros and cons
1pBroadband
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.
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.
beeline
Pros
- Every plan runs on a rolling monthly term, 1 month, so there is nothing to serve beyond the current month
- Unlimited data is available from RUB 700, with the bee HIT plan at that level and bee PRO on top of it
- eSIM and Wi-Fi calling are both supported, alongside hotspot sharing on the same plans
Cons
- Billing runs on prepaid only, so there is no contract billing option for readers who pay monthly by direct debit
- Europe roaming is paid, meaning travel use has to be paid separately rather than folded into the monthly fee
- The fixed home internet line needs a RUB 300 and a router bought outright or on instalments, adding a hardware cost on top of the subscription
Who each suits
1pBroadband
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.
beeline
Who it suits
- People in Russia who want a prepaid SIM with a rolling monthly term and no minimum contract period
- Heavy data users who would rather pay once for unlimited data than manage a capped allowance
- Travellers leaving Russia who need roaming across 200 countries without signing a long contract
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers who want contract billing alongside prepaid, where GETESA offers both prepaid and contract options
- People who want a rolling billing option as well as prepaid, which yesss! lists across contract, rolling and prepaid
- Shoppers who want a home broadband and mobile bundle on one bill, since Beeline's fixed line and mobile tariffs are listed separately

Questions about each
1pBroadband
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.
beeline
What does the cheapest Beeline plan cost?+
Tariffs start at RUB 400 on the bee SUPER START plan, which pairs a capped data allowance with a rolling monthly term. Unlimited data is a separate step up rather than being folded into that entry price, so the cheapest plan suits light use and the rest cover heavier traffic.
How much is unlimited data on Beeline?+
Unlimited data starts at RUB 700 on the bee HIT plan. The bee PRO plan sits above that level with a wider feature set on the same monthly term, so the higher tier is a price step rather than a different billing structure.
