Internet access providers Zzoomm and BeFibre, which are both now part of the recently merged FTTP broadband network from FullFibre Limited (here), appear to have recently become the latest ISPs to introduce a new Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) capable wireless router – this will be available on all plans for new customers. Some packages and prices have also been refreshed.
Sadly, we couldn’t find any details of the new kit on Zzoomm’s website, while BeFibre was similarly vague, but they did at least provide a picture of the kit and a general comment. The picture was enough for us to identify the router as being one of HT-6766 models from Switzerland-based Heights Telecom (Heights Telecom UK Ltd), which is a familiar brand for BeFibre (here).
All the HT-6766 models tend to include 1 x FXS (phone) port, 1 x USB 3.1 port, 3 x 1Gbps RJ45 LAN ports, 1 x 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps LAN port, 1 x 2.5Gbps or 10Gbps WAN port and the usual array of WPS and power buttons etc. The dual-band model offers peak theoretical WiFi speeds of up to 6.5Gbps (5GHz = 5.8Gbps and 2.4GHz = 700Mbps), while the tri-band kit will do up to 18.1Gbps (6GHz = 11.6Gbps, 5GHz = 5.8Gbps and 2.4GHz = 700Mbps).
However, it’s not known whether Zzoomm has adopted identical kit to BeFibre, although they are now owned by the same group and did both introduce the change at the same time in early August 2025. BeFibre has now also aligned their prices to Zzoomm’s. Credits to one of our readers, Michael, for spotting the router development.
Rob McElroy, Product Manager at BeFibre, said:
“We’re pleased to confirm that WiFi 7 is now available to all new BeFibre customers. This cutting-edge technology delivers ultrafast speeds, lower latency, and improved stability, ideal for modern homes where multiple devices are always connected.
New customers will receive a brand-new WiFi 7 router as standard, along with a matching WiFi 7 Mesh extender if they add BeMesh, enabling them to take full advantage of the benefits straight away. It’s an important step in ensuring our broadband meets the ever-evolving needs of our users.”
In terms of Zzoomm refreshing their prices a bit, both their 200Mbps and 500Mbps packages have reduced their pricing by £2 extra per month, while their 1000Mbps tier is now £3 cheaper and the top 2300Mbps packages have been reduced by £6 (BeFibre of course mirrors all this). But the provider’s post-contract prices remain unchanged from what they were before.
The combined Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network of FullFibre and Zzoomm currently reaches 600,000 premises (RFS) and 80,000 customers across England – serving parts of 100 market towns, which makes it one of the UK’s largest altnets. This reflects both their open access wholesale network (FullFibre) and their in-house retail ISPs (BeFibre and Zzoomm).
