Network access provider Openreach has launched a new special offer, which will be available to UK broadband ISPs “nationwide” and gives a free connection on New to Network (NTN) orders for Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) based lines. But this will only apply to related orders placed between 3rd October 2025 and 31st December 2025.
Openreach typically charges ISPs anything from £122.84 +vat (Standard Connection) to £297.84 (Advanced Connection) for new service provisions, although various discounts and retail pricing offers by broadband ISPs often reduce the impact of this.
However, it is important to caveat that New to Network (NTN) means a property (house, flat etc.) where there has been no Openreach products and services on the relevant line at any point in the last 90 consecutive days prior to the date of an FTTP order (excluding any premises on ‘New Sites’, like new build homes etc.).
Further details on the special offer can be found here and here. As usual, the decision about whether or not to pass related savings on will be up to each ISP, although many are already running free installation style offers.
