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.

NOTE: Community Fibre is backed by shareholders Warburg Pincus LLC, DTCP, Railpen and NDIF, and its lenders, including recent backers JP Morgan and Barclays etc. The operator’s network is predominantly focused on London.

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).
