Our verdict

Rebel Internet suits households that want full fibre speeds with a choice of short or long terms and a low entry price. Price from £35, a setup fee of £0 to £100 and a Heights Wi-Fi 6 router included make it worth a look.

Pros and cons

Pros

  • Price from £35 a month sits under the €23.19 median for broadband plans on the site, with a setup fee of £0 to £100 to connect.
  • Top download speed of 1,000 Mbps runs on fttp and fttc, matching the 1,000 Mbps typical of plans compared here and above the 1,000 Mbps lower quartile.
  • Plan lengths of 1, 12 and 24 months give a choice of a short rolling term or a longer commitment on every reference plan.
  • A Heights Wi-Fi 6 router included is included with the plan, so there is no separate router to buy on day one.
  • Static IP is available, which 91.3% of the brands listed here also offer, useful for a home server or remote access.

Cons

  • Prices are set through the address checker rather than published, so £35 and the £0 to £100 fee depend on your address.
  • Plans run on fttp and fttc, so an address that only has cable or fixed wireless cannot be served on this line.
  • Exiting early is not free: the exit fee terms require paying charges for the whole minimum period plus a third-party cost difference.
  • The stated price rise rule is No change unless required by regulator, though the monthly figure still comes from the address checker rather than a published list.

Who it suits

  • Households that want full fibre speeds without a long minimum term, since a rolling month is available on every reference plan.
  • People moving into rented or shared homes, since the address checker confirms whether the line can reach the property first.
  • Anyone who needs a static IP for a home server, remote access or a small hosting setup from home.

Who should look elsewhere

  • People who need cable alongside fibre, since Astound offers cable and fttp and Rebel Internet runs fttp and fttc.
  • Households that need fixed wireless or satellite reach, since EarthLink covers fttp, 5G and satellite where a fibre-only line is not an option.
  • Households outside GB, since Rebel Internet serves a single UK market rather than a wider footprint.

Pricing

Entry pricing starts at £35 a month, under the €23.19 median for broadband plans here, though the exact figure depends on the address. Joining costs a setup fee of £0 to £100. Reference plans come in a lower, a middle and a gigabit tier, and each is sold on a rolling month or a longer fixed term. Available plan lengths of 1, 12 and 24 months let you take the rolling option and leave if the speed is not right, or commit longer for a better monthly figure. A Heights Wi-Fi 6 router included is included. The stated price rise rule is No change unless required by regulator, which stands out here. Early exit is not free: the exit fee terms require paying charges for the whole minimum period plus any third-party cost difference.

Where it sits among rivals

On price, Rebel Internet ranks 86 of 95 brands listed here, so the entry figure is competitive without being the cheapest on the table. On maximum download speed it ranks 49 of 114 brands, which places its gigabit plan near the top of the providers here. The clearest gap to rivals comes on setup fee, where it ranks 1 of 86, the strongest position of any measure here. For context, the median maximum download speed across the site is 1,000 Mbps, and median post-contract pricing sits at €43, so it is worth checking what your own price looks like once any minimum term ends.

Who runs it

Rebel Internet is provided by Rebel Broadband UK Limited, registered in the United Kingdom. Support runs on email, chat and phone, covering email, chat, phone and a help centre, so there is a channel to suit most queries. Contract terms for the service, including the exit fee terms and the price rise rule, are set out in writing by that same company. There is a single market, GB, so this is a UK focused provider with one legal entity behind the connection, the terms and the bill.

Frequently asked questions

What does Rebel Internet cost to join?+

Plans start at £35 a month, and there is a setup fee of £0 to £100. A Heights Wi-Fi 6 router included is included with the connection, so the main extra cost when you join is the setup fee rather than separate hardware.

Can I get full fibre from Rebel Internet?+

Rebel Internet runs on fttp and fttc, covering both fibre to the premises and fibre to the cabinet. Top download speed on the top plan is 1,000 Mbps. Availability depends on your address, so the address checker is the place to confirm what can reach your property.

Do I have to sign a long contract?+

No. Plan lengths of 1, 12 and 24 months are available, so a short rolling term sits alongside longer commitments. Every reference plan, from the lower tier to the gigabit plan, can be bought on the shorter term or the longer one, which keeps moving easier for some households.

Can the price go up during my contract?+

The stated price rise rule is No change unless required by regulator, so an increase inside your term is unlikely unless a regulator requires one. The exact monthly figure for your address is confirmed through the address checker rather than a published price list.

What happens if I want to leave early?+

Leaving before the minimum period ends is not free. The exit fee terms mean paying charges for the whole minimum period plus a third-party cost difference, so the shorter end of 1, 12 and 24 months is the safer choice for anyone who may move sooner.

What support can I reach if something goes wrong?+

Support runs on email, chat and phone, so email, chat, phone and a help centre are all available. That mix covers quick questions asked in chat and longer technical problems that are better handled on a call.

Does Rebel Internet provide a router and a static IP?+

A Heights Wi-Fi 6 router included is included with the plan, and a static IP is available, which 91.3% of the brands listed here also offer. A static IP helps anyone running a home server, remote access or small hosting from home.
