Download speeds of up to 80Mbps
Not every Superfast connection is the same – there are things that can affect your speed, like your distance from the cabinet and the wiring and equipment in your home. But, with average download speeds of between 35-65 Mbps, and a top speed of 80 Mbps, Superfast can download a 4K movie in under 24 mins and 100 of your favourite songs in under 80 seconds.

Upload speeds of up to 20Mbps
With these upload speeds you can video call to your heart's content - without a glitch in sight.
Perfect for streaming, video calling and home working
Superfast can handle streaming, surfing, and video calling, so it’s great for watching your favourite movies and taking a meeting from the kitchen table. If you’re a serious gamer, love plugging into virtual reality, have a big family, or upload lots of videos, then it’s a good idea to see if you can get Ultrafast Full Fibre.
Your choice of phone line
You can buy a traditional copper (PSTN) phone line with Superfast until September 2023 – after that we’ll only be offering a digital phone line option, ahead of the national switchover to digital phone lines in 2026. We recommend checking with your service provider about the phone line options they offer, as you may also be able to get Superfast without ordering a phone line service.

GFast's unique booster technology can increase download speeds upto 330mbps on a typical Fibre to the Cabinet connection. It's only available to a minority of homes and businesses across the UK so you should check with broadband providers for availability.
Phoneline options you get with Fibre to the Cabinet Broadband
Digital phone line
A digital phone line uses your fibre broadband connection instead of the copper telephone network. It means that your phone calls will be made using the same technology as when you use WhatsApp, Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Skype. Because it’s digital, you’ll be able to use your landline while you’re on the go and may have access to cheaper calls and premium features, like Anonymous Call Barring and Call Divert.
Analogue phone line
An analogue phone line uses the copper telephone network – it’s the system we’ve been using for over a century. While it’s served us all well, it’s time for an upgrade – which is why we’re phasing it out gradually, before switching it off in 2025. It’s worth bearing that in mind when making your choice of which type of phone line you want to use for your broadband.
No phone line
If you want broadband but aren’t interested in a phone service, it’s possible to order both Fibre to the Cabinet and Gfast without a phone line. You’ll need to check with your chosen service provider to make sure they offer this option.
What happens once you order?
How we’ll install your Fibre to the Cabinet
Most homes and businesses in the UK are already equipped for Fibre to the Cabinet broadband. You can easily check by looking for the Openreach master socket, which is where your phone and your router plug into the wall.
If you find one, you can order Fibre to the Cabinet from your chosen service provider. If not, we’ll send an engineer. We’ll have to drill into the wall to install one, so you’ll need the permission of the property owner.
