Fibrus

Digital Services & Streaming

Fibrus sells full-fibre broadband packages for homes and businesses across Northern Ireland and northern England, with residential speeds from 150 Mb to 1 Gb and business leased-line options up to 10 Gb. Monthly consumer plans sit in the mid-range price band, typically £29–£45 on 24-month contracts, while enterprise quotes are bespoke. All sales are handled online through fibrus.com and by phone; there are no high-street shops, but local door-to-door field teams close most residential sign-ups. The company positions itself as a “new-build” rural fibre provider, building its own duct and pole network in counties historically ignored by incumbents. It guarantees symmetrical speeds and unlimited usage, installs next-generation XGS-PON hardware, and offers a free 12-month speed-upgrade promise. Its headline product, the “Fibrus 1000” plan, is marketed as the first gigabit service available in many postcodes outside greater Belfast. Core buyers are rural households and SMEs frustrated by sub-30 Mb copper or fixed-wireless connections; they value reliability, upload bandwidth for remote work, and supporting regional infrastructure investment. Customers tend to be family homeowners, agri-businesses, and creative freelancers who prioritise future-proof connectivity over rock-bottom pricing. Fibrus competes with national incumbents that rely on legacy part-fibre and with budget ISPs reselling wholesale lines. It differentiates by owning the last-mile fibre, delivering faster upstream speeds, zero mid-contract price rises, and a rural-first rollout mandate backed by UK Project Gigabit subsidies.

Gigabit speeds built by locals, not promised by distant corporations
