Community Fibre TV powered by Netgem crowned Winner by Choose

 5 July 2024

Community Fibre TV powered by Netgem crowned Winner by Choose!

"Verdict: Hyperoptic or Community Fibre?

Overall winner: Community Fibre offers cheaper prices than Hyperoptic, with a marginally better customer service record, although there's little in it with Hyperoptic also proving to be a good choice.

Londoners able to access services from either of these full fibre broadband providers are lucky. Those able to choose between them are even luckier, and it's a tight race that may well depend on whether customers want the fastest available services."

ABOUT Community Fibre:

 (May 3rd, 2024)

Community Fibre, Netgem.TV client at UK, alone covers c. 1.3 million premises in London (Nov 2023), which we think would probably reach around 1.4m with the addition of Box broadband into that total.

"Network builder and UK broadband ISP CommunityFibre (CF), which runs a large 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network across London and surrounding areas, has notified that their sibling Altnet for Surrey and West Sussex, Box Broadband, will in the near future be adopting CF’s branding.
