Hyperoptic Powers Past Two Million Homes with Record Growth

The full fibre provider is scaling fast and launching an off-net service — here's what it means for UK broadband customers

23 July 2026 · Daniel Hartley · Hyperoptic

We've been keeping an eye on Hyperoptic's latest results and there's plenty to like for anyone shopping around for faster broadband.

Strong numbers in 2025

The altnet reported revenue up 22% to £139 million last year, with its customer base growing 18% to more than 440,000. Average revenue per user edged up too, while adjusted EBITDA hit £69 million. Capital spend is now falling as the network build winds down.

Key points from the results:

  • Network reach: Passed two million homes and businesses in the first half of 2026
  • Take-up: 31% average penetration, with mature areas above 60%
  • Customer love: Over 39,000 five-star Trustpilot reviews and a 4.6-star rating
  • New moves: Off-net retail service launching in Q3 2026, adding another 1.8 million homes

What this means for you

More full fibre competition is always good news. Hyperoptic's push into off-net areas and continued focus on urban high-density spots should give households more choice, especially as the big providers keep rolling out their own fibre networks. You can compare Hyperoptic deals and other full fibre options on wehelpcompare.

Dana Tobak CBE, CEO and co-founder, said: "Hyperoptic was the first altnet to launch in the UK in 2011, and we have spent more than fifteen years building one of the UK's most extensive full fibre networks behind a clear and differentiated strategy. 2025 showed what that investment and strategic focus can deliver. We recorded strong growth across every key metric, our network has now passed two million homes, and our off-net retail proposition opens up an entirely new market.

As our business matures, we are increasingly focused on capitalising on our infrastructure advantage: increasing take-up, driving commercial growth through the off-net retail offer, and further enhancing the customer experience. The trajectory is clear, unit economics continue to strengthen, and the opportunity ahead remains significant."

The company also picked up Which? Great Value Broadband Provider for the third time, which lines up with what we've seen in customer satisfaction scores. If you're in one of their new-build or existing footprint areas, it's worth checking current speeds and pricing against the wider market.
