Our verdict

Gigaclear suits households inside its full fibre build area that want matched download and upload without a long tie in. Entry at £19 with setup fees of £0 to £30 keeps the opening bill light, though post contract prices of £51 to £88 mean the renewal rate deserves a close look before you sign up.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Entry pricing of £19 is low for a full fibre to the premises package with symmetric speeds.
  • Setup fees of £0 to £30 keep joining costs modest, and many lines are free.
  • Upload of 900 Mbps matches download, which suits home working and moving large files.
  • Support runs on email, chat and phone, so help is available by phone as well as in writing.
  • Router hardware is included rather than sold separately, with eero 7 included, eero Pro 7 on 900Mbps, free eero Secure across the tiers.

Cons

  • Post contract prices of £51 to £88 sit well above the £19 entry price, so the headline rate is not the long run cost.
  • Every plan runs on a 18-month contract, and no rolling option appears among them.
  • Max download of 900 Mbps is well short of the 10,000 Mbps top speed at Abissnet.
  • Prices can move during the contract under Prices, content and terms may change during contract, so the quoted rate is not fixed for its full length.

Who it suits

  • Households in the covered streets who want matched download and upload for large uploads and home working.
  • People who prefer a shorter commitment, since plans run on 18-month rather than a longer term.
  • Value focused shoppers who want the router cost folded in, with eero 7 included, eero Pro 7 on 900Mbps, free eero Secure included across the tiers.

Who should look elsewhere

  • Households wanting the very top speeds, since max download is 900 Mbps against 10,000 Mbps at Abissnet.
  • Anyone who wants a rolling or month to month deal, since plans run on 18 months.
  • People on a cable or fixed wireless line, as Gigaclear runs fttp only.

Where it sits among rivals

Against the wider field, Gigaclear sits competitively on cost and further back on speed. Its entry price ranks 34 of 95 providers, a strong place for a value led provider to start from. Setup fees rank 1 of 86, so joining does not carry a heavy upfront charge. Post contract pricing ranks 31 of 36, which leaves useful headroom on renewal against the cheapest rivals. Speed tells the opposite story. Max download ranks 92 of 114, and upload ranks 28 of 46. The pattern is consistent, a price led fibre provider rather than a speed leader.

Pricing

The cheapest package starts at £19 a month, and that headline rate is the number most households see first. Joining costs a setup fee of £0 to £30, so the opening bill depends on which line the address falls into. The figure to weigh more closely is the renewal price, which sits at £51 to £88 once the initial term is over. That step up from entry is the trade-off worth pricing in before an order goes ahead, and it applies whichever speed tier is chosen. A provider that looks inexpensive early on can look far less so further down the line, which is why both numbers belong side by side rather than the entry figure alone.

What it does well

Top speeds reach 900 Mbps download, with upload matching at 900 Mbps, so moving a large file off the connection is as quick as pulling one down. That symmetry is the point for anyone running a home office, shifting large media libraries or backing up plenty of data. Coverage is the binding constraint rather than speed. The network reaches 600,000 premises, and it is built on its own infrastructure rather than resold, so availability is settled street by street. Inside those streets the tiers step up through the range and hardware is supplied as part of the package.

Who runs it

The provider is Gigaclear Ltd, founded 2010 and headquartered in the United Kingdom. It trades in GB only, which makes it a single market specialist rather than a multinational, and its reach is built and maintained around its own fibre footprint instead of resold wholesale.

Frequently asked questions

How much does Gigaclear broadband cost?+

Plans start at £19 a month. The entry package runs on a 18-month contract, and each faster tier carries a higher monthly figure. Joining costs a setup fee of £0 to £30, so the first bill depends on which line the address falls into.

What happens to the price when the contract ends?+

After the initial term ends, monthly prices sit at £51 to £88. That is a wide step up from the £19 entry price, so the renewal figure is the one that decides the long run cost of the service and is worth checking before an order goes ahead.

How fast is Gigaclear full fibre?+

Speeds top out at 900 Mbps download and 900 Mbps upload, so upload matches download. Faster tiers step up through the range at a higher monthly price, and the top package ships with the upgraded hardware listed in eero 7 included, eero Pro 7 on 900Mbps, free eero Secure.

Where does Gigaclear operate?+

Gigaclear is a full fibre to the premises network reaching 600,000 premises. Because coverage is the limit, the street has to be included before an order can go ahead, so availability is settled area by area rather than by a headline postcode claim.

Who runs Gigaclear?+

The legal entity is Gigaclear Ltd, headquartered in the United Kingdom and founded 2010. It operates in the United Kingdom only, so it competes as a single market provider rather than across several regions with different setups.

How do I contact Gigaclear support?+

Help runs on email, chat and phone, covering email, chat, phone and a help centre. That mix suits most problems, since a quick question can go in writing while anything urgent goes down the phone line.

Can I cancel Gigaclear without a fee?+

New customers get a cooling off window under the exit fee terms, where services used are paid for and the activation itself carries no refund. The setup fee of £0 to £30 is quoted separately from that window when a new order is placed.

What router do I get with Gigaclear?+

Router hardware is part of the package rather than a separate purchase, with eero 7 included, eero Pro 7 on 900Mbps, free eero Secure listed across the tiers. Broadband is offered in GB only, so the choice a customer makes is the speed step rather than add ons elsewhere in the range.
