Business and residential broadband ISP iDNET has just become the latest provider to launch a symmetric speed package based off CityFibre’s top 2.5Gbps wholesale tier (advertised at an average speed of 1.8Gbps), which is being targetted at fans of online multiplayer gaming (not that raw speed really makes a difference to gaming at this level).
The new Gamer Max City Fibre package costs £63 per month and comes with an included ASUS ROG Rapture-AX6000 (rrp £225.00) router, which boasts the necessary 2.5Gbps LAN/WAN ports and WiFi 6 speeds, on a 24-month minimum contract term. As this is iDNET then customers will also benefit from static IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, UK-based support, free installation and an 800Mbps minimum guaranteed download speed.
The same update also confirms our earlier report (here) by revealing that iDNET will launch a similar package via Openreach’s new 1.8Gbps tier (average download speeds of 1.7Gbps) from June 2024. But just remember that Openreach’s FTTP network limits upload speeds on this tier to 120Mbps. Credits to Blake and Thinkbroadband for spotting the development.
