Our verdict on each
Hyperoptic B2C
Hyperoptic B2C suits homes already inside its UK footprint that want upload speeds close to their download speed, with entry prices starting at £17 a month and a free setup fee. The one trade-off to weigh is renewal, so read the rise before you commit.
Zzoomm
Zzoomm suits households already inside its full-fibre build that want a quick upgrade and can live with the jump at renewal. Entry pricing starts at £20 a month, while post-term pricing runs £32 to £70, so the second bill is the figure to weigh before signing.

Pros and cons
Hyperoptic B2C
Pros
- The setup fee is £0, so nothing is added to the first bill on top of the monthly price.
- Static IP: yes, which suits home servers, remote access and camera systems that need a fixed address.
- Social tariff: yes, so households on qualifying benefits get a lower-priced route onto the same network.
Cons
- Prices rise under GBP 4 increase every April, so the entry figure is a starting point rather than the long-run cost.
- Leaving early inside the minimum term costs money, per No exit fees within 30 days; fee applies in minimum term.
- It serves GB only, so anyone outside that footprint has to look at other providers.
Zzoomm
Pros
- Entry pricing of £20 a month with £0 setup keeps the first bill small.
- Free WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 router included is part of the package rather than a separate purchase.
- Upload matches download at 2,300 Mbps, so heavy uploads are not the bottleneck.
Cons
- Renewal pricing is the weak point, with post-term monthly cost at £32 to £70 against a £20 entry price.
- Coverage rests on a build of 600,000 premises, so any address outside that footprint cannot order.
- The line is fttp alone, whereas Astound lists cable and fttp, so homes that want cable have fewer options here.
Who each suits
Hyperoptic B2C
Who it suits
- Households already inside the build area in GB that need upload as strong as download for calls, backups and large uploads.
- Households on qualifying benefits, because a social tariff is listed as available.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone outside its footprint, since Hyperoptic B2C serves GB only.
- Shoppers who want wireless or satellite coverage, since Earthlink also lists fttp, 5G and satellite.
- Buyers chasing the biggest headline speed, since Abissnet lists 10,000 Mbps against 1,000 Mbps here.
Zzoomm
Who it suits
- Households inside Zzoomm's full-fibre build that want 2,300 Mbps in both directions.
- People who would rather not buy hardware, since Free WiFi 6 or WiFi 7 router included comes as standard.
- Anyone who needs a static IP, plus help by email, chat and phone.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone who wants cable alongside full fibre should look at Astound, which lists cable and fttp.
- Readers chasing the highest headline download should look at Abissnet, which reaches 10,000 Mbps.
- Houses outside GB can rule Zzoomm out; EarthLink lists fttp, 5G and satellite as a different mix.

Questions about each
Hyperoptic B2C
What does Hyperoptic B2C cost to start with?+
Entry pricing begins at £17 a month, and the setup fee is £0, so there is nothing to pay to join. Reference plans are published at more than one speed, with the top listed plan the highest priced and sold rolling monthly. The plans below it sit under that price but run on a fixed term, so a shorter commitment costs more per month.
Does the monthly price change after I join?+
Yes. The published rise is GBP 4 increase every April, which lands on a fixed yearly cycle rather than at a moment of their choosing. That means the price you agree at the start is not the price you keep, so budgeting on the higher figure makes sense if you plan to stay past the first increase.
Zzoomm
What does Zzoomm broadband cost at the start?+
The entry plan starts at £20 a month, with faster full-fibre plans listed above it on the same network and the same term length. Setup costs £0, so there is no activation charge to add to the first bill.
Which contract lengths can I choose?+
Terms come in 1, 12 and 24 month lengths, so a shorter commitment is available for anyone who does not want a long tie. The trade-off is the exit terms, since leaving before the minimum period is over brings a charge for early exit.
