Our verdict

Airband suits households in the GB served by its full-fibre or fixed-wireless network that want speeds of 1,000 Mbps. Entry pricing is not the reason to pick it, and the rate that applies once the minimum term ends is the number a careful buyer should study before signing.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Entry pricing starts at £33 a month on terms of 12 and 24 months, with a gigabit package sitting above it on the reference list.
  • The setup fee is £0, so a new line adds no joining cost to the first bill.
  • The Nokia WiFi 6 mesh router included is part of the package rather than a separate purchase.
  • Uploads of 900 Mbps sit close to the download ceiling of 1,000 Mbps, which suits people who send as much as they receive.
  • Coverage runs on fttp and fwa, so a home without a full-fibre build is not automatically excluded.

Cons

  • Fees after the minimum term run £48 to £73, well above the £33 entry figure, and the published schedule lifts prices each April.
  • Terms of 12 and 24 months mean a minimum commitment, and leaving before the minimum term ends means paying an exit fee.
  • Support runs on phone, email and help centre only, with no live chat or community forum listed.
  • Markets are listed as GB, so the plans do not serve households outside the UK.

Who it suits

  • Households in the GB on Airband's full-fibre build that want gigabit download and upload from a single plan.
  • People who prefer a mesh router supplied with the line to shopping for one separately.
  • Buyers who will keep the connection for the whole term and value a free setup over a smaller headline price.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Astound, which runs cable and fttp, if you want a cable route as well as full fibre.
  • Abissnet, listed under fttp alone, if you would rather deal with a fibre-only provider.
  • EarthLink, which spans fttp, 5G and satellite, if you need a wireless or satellite connection for a home fibre cannot reach.

How it compares on our data

Across the measured columns, Airband leads on one line and trails on another. Its setup fee places it 1 of 86, the strongest showing in this group, so joining adds nothing to the first bill. Entry price is the weak spot, ranking 84 of 95, which says the from figure is not among the lowest on the table. Renewal tells a different story: post contract price ranks 30 of 36, a much shorter list where Airband sits well up the field. Speed sits in the middle on both sides of the line. Max download is 49 of 114, while upload is a stronger 28 of 46.

Plans and prices

Airband's entry package sits at £33 a month, and the reference price list runs from there up to a gigabit package at the top of the range, so a faster line costs more from the first bill rather than as a later upgrade. Joining adds nothing further: the setup fee is £0. Renewal is the part worth budgeting for. Once the minimum term ends, monthly fees run £48 to £73, and the published schedule raises prices each April, so the figure you start on is not the figure you keep paying. The gap between the entry price and the post contract range is the widest number on this page, and it is the one that shapes what the line costs over time. Buyers comparing Airband with providers advertising a smaller starting number should weigh the renewal range rather than the headline.

Core features

Uploads run to 900 Mbps on the same plans, so the distance between sending and receiving is small. That balance is the part worth weighing: households that work from home, move large photo libraries, back up devices or run a server would wait on the upload side with a less even line. The download figure is what most comparisons print, and on its own it says nothing about how quickly you can send. Check both numbers on any provider's sheet, because a headline gigabit paired with a small upload is a different service to the one Airband sells.

The company behind it

Airband trades as Voneus Limited and is based in the GB, so this is a provider built for UK homes. Support runs on phone, email and help centre, covering phone, email and a help centre, with no live chat and no community forum listed. That mix suits people who would rather ring someone during a dropout than search a knowledge base, and it suits anyone who prefers to email a problem and keep the thread for reference. It is worth weighing against providers whose support runs wider, since a help centre alone is a slower route when a line is down at an awkward hour. The trading name and home market also set the frame for the service, so contract terms, address checks and prices all apply to UK properties.

Frequently asked questions

What does an Airband plan cost to start with?+

Airband's entry package is listed at £33 a month, and there is nothing extra to pay when the service is switched on because the setup fee is £0. The reference price list runs from that plan up to a gigabit package, so a faster line costs more from the start rather than as an upgrade added later.

What happens to the price after the minimum term?+

Prices move over time. The published schedule raises monthly fees each April, and once the minimum term is over the rate you pay runs £48 to £73. That is the number to hold in mind at renewal, because it sits well above the £33 entry figure shown when the line is first ordered.

Do I get a router with the plan?+

Yes, a router is part of the package. The Nokia WiFi 6 mesh router included is supplied with the connection, so a new install does not mean buying a mesh system separately on the same day the line is needed. That takes a real cost off the first bill and removes the guesswork of which kit suits the property.

Is Airband available in my area?+

Airband's network lists fttp and fwa, so the same provider can serve a full-fibre street and a home served by fixed wireless. Markets are listed as GB, which means the plans are for UK households only. Check your own postcode with Airband's broadband coverage checker before ordering, because the technology that reaches you decides which plan you can take.

How long are Airband contracts?+

Terms run 12 and 24 months, and the reference plans sit on the longer option, which suits anyone who plans to stay put and wants a lower monthly figure. Leaving before the minimum term ends means paying an exit fee, so the commitment only works for people unlikely to move during it.

How do I get help if the line drops?+

Support runs on phone, email and help centre, so a dropout can be reported by phone, by email or through the help centre, and the three routes cover both urgent faults and questions you want on record. There is no live chat or community forum listed, which makes Airband a better fit for people who would rather ring or write than search a forum thread.

Who is Airband and where is it based?+

Airband is the trading name of Voneus Limited, a provider based in the GB. That matters to a broadband buyer mainly because the service is built for UK homes, so contract length, address checks and pricing all apply to UK properties rather than to a wider multi-country market.
