Alternative broadband ISP CommunityFibre, which has invested c.£1bn to deploy a 5Gbps Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network across 1.342 million UK homes (inc. 185k businesses within 200 metres of their network) – mostly in London, have today announced that new customers on their fastest 2.5Gbps and 5Gbps package will now get a WiFi 7 capable Linksys router.
The official announcement doesn’t clarify exactly which models the provider has chosen to bundle, but we suspect it’ll be either the dual-band Linksys Velop Micro 7 or tri-band Linksys Velop Pro 7 because CommunityFibre state they’re using the company’s “latest generation” hardware. But one catch is that both models only have a 1 x 2.5Gbps LAN/WAN port, although the Pro does add 4 x 1Gbps LAN ports.
In addition, the provider has also thrown in a free £50 Xbox voucher (offer ends midnight on 22nd Dec 2025) with both of their 2.5Gbps (symmetric) speed full fibre broadband packages on a 24-month term, which are currently priced from £39 per month with free installation (prices increase annually by £2 each April).
