Up for renewal with hyperoptic - strategies for getting good deals if not a new customer?

Our contract is up for renewal at end of July, and new offers are a wee bit worse than what we have now (not too too bad actually). Of course, new customer deals are much more appealing! I don't believe there's any competition in my area for full fibre (Three is offering 5G that is supposedly comparable speed, so I could perhaps use that as leverage).

Just wondering if it's worth trying to call them to negotiate? I'm a coward, so would much prefer chat, but I see the chat window automatically tells you to try phoning if you mention renewals. Any key words I should mention if I do call (I assume "I'm leaving" is a good start!).

Cheers!

Just moved

Hi just moved property and got told I could take my hyperoptic router from my old place to the new one, my new building has hyperoptic installed but I don't have a cable to connect it to the router. Any idea what cable I need to get?

(RANT) Recently joined Hyperoptic

As the title suggests i joined Hyperoptic yesterday, the back office team activated my internet. Happy days ? errr NO.

The internet worked for about 20 minutes and then died all together. There was no lights on the router (see pic one).Today one of their contractor engineers showed up, worked around cluelessly for 2 hours. Managed to restore the connection to the communications panel in basement (See Pic 2 ). Told me it will take 2 hours for the internet to be restored and activated. I am literally a sitting duck at the moment without internet.

Before this I struggled for 3 weeeks with virgin media trying to install at the flat. Think my internet hopes are fucked, and to rub salt to my wounds i work from home, so i am basically fucked and stuck to using mobile data now.

Now i don’t want to sound like an impatient entitled prick, but Hyperoptic customer care have not given any solid response so far. What should i do, should i wait like a dickhead or should i keep contacting the customer care hoping yo get a response ?

Is £22.99 monthly a good deal for 150Mb (Broadband Only)?

Very confused by how the pricing is working every year!

Just want to sense check if currently £22.99 for 150Mb (broadband only) a good / acceptable deal, or still too expensive?

First 10 months: £22.99 / month
From May 2027 bill: £26.99 / month

I remembered the best deal seen last year around May was £10 or £12 for the first 8 months, but those are not available any more.

Many thanks!

N7 area - Hyperoptic outage on day 2

Hey all, i'm probably echoing the same sentiment as others. I'm in the N7 area, and just had hyperoptic installed yesterday afternoon. I woke up today to my ONT's LOS light blinking red, so looks like we've lost connection overnight. Not sure if it's possible to identify exactly when it went offline. Wondering if anyone else in the area is facing similar issues?

I'm very lucky that my existing virgin media connection is still active for a couple more weeks, but I WFH, so a loss of internet would be very problematic

HyperOptic users - any actual GOOD stories?

I’m due to move into a new flat soon and signed up to HyperOptic as apparently they are already there.

All I have been hearing are various outages and the service going to shit - my flat is a block of new builds so have fibre installed due to law. And HyperOptic is local to me apparently - is it really that bad?

Has anyone had good service with no outages??? Is it a matter of bias where if people are happy they won’t post about it?

Current contract ending on 4 July 2026. Renewal deadline?

When I log in to my Hyperoptic account, the renewal deals say it is ending on 30 June 2026.

I still want to take a bit of time to decide.

Do I need to decide by the end of today? Or if I can opt in just by 4 July 2026?

I have seen some deals from affiliate sites but not sure if those are still valid after today (30 June 2026).

Many thanks for your input in advance!

No internet for days, no updates provided by Hyperoptic

No internet for several days, and nobody has provided any useful information about the issue. I've called the customer service yesterday, and they said they're gonna get someone to check it today. Today, the internet is still down, and no communication whatsoever. I called them again today and the guy said they didn't receive any update yet, but he's gonna look into it and will update me before his shift ends at 5 pm. Of course, no update again...
I've sent an email to support@hyperoptic.com and tried to use the chat. Received no response to the email and the chat is completely useless for technical issues.

Obviously, tried to restart router and did factory reset multipe times, but it didn't help. Customer service acknowledged the issue too, even though their portal says my internet service is "active".

Is there any way to get a proper response from this company? Or is it just better to move to another provider at this point?

Hyperoptic Meltdown? 3 Days No Internet. Many Buildings across London affected.

I live in East London. Hyperoptic has been down for 3 days. Can’t get through to support (presuming sheer call volume).

The automated system is a joke. First it says there are no problems with the Hyperoptic network in my area. Then when it goes past verification it says there is and lists off about 10 buildings of which mine is one.

Yesterday I started receiving text messages from Hyperoptic stating engineers were trying to fix it and I’d get an update in 2 hours. They stopped at 6pm. And not received anymore. Tried calling again today and put into a queue with no wait time or people in front. Presuming skeleton support staff because of weekend so have given up.

£10.34 bill credit for everyday I am off line. But requires support ticket so conveniently unable to get through. 🤷

We ll have to move soon, but hyperoptic contract expires later, new postcode doesnt have hyperoptic. What to do?

title. i am wondering if I should just take the equipment with me, pay the monthly until expires and then cancel it, send back equipment. New postcode is super remote and its a pain, so I cant go with any big names there.

SE3 no connection for 6 hours +

Our whole building lost internet around 7pm yesterday. Hyperoptic service checker says everything is fine. Most of the building is with hyperoptic and nobody has connection.

Customer service is not picking up.

Far from ideal as a lot of us work from home.

Hyper were super reliable the first couple of years, but lately these issues are becoming more common. Is this ensh*tification in action?

Router settings question

Bit of an odd one.

I have hyperoptic at the flat I’m at, and I changed the WiFi password when I moved in.
I’m moving out, so I’m going to change the WiFi password when I leave, but I was wondering - will the next person be able to see essentially my settings on the router and previous devices connected to the network etc? Will I need to send the router to hyperoptic or what? Because the router was already here when I moved in so I didn’t have to request anything new.

Building-wide outage since Thursday at SE8 3FG – Support denying the issue!

Hi u/HyperopticCS, There is a major building-wide outage at Cavatina Point, 3 Dancers Way, London, SE8 3FG affecting multiple residents since last Thursday's maintenance.

Our account pages falsely claim service is "Active", so your frontline customer support agents are treating us as isolated individual issues. We are being given completely conflicting information—some residents are told it's a known network issue, while others (like me) are being told there is "no reported outage". We have multiple flats completely offline and cannot wait days for individual home technician appointments when it is clearly a building switch fault caused by Thursday's maintenance.

Please manually cross-reference the tickets for this postcode and escalate this urgently to the Network Operations Center (NOC) for a building-wide fix. (Neighbours from the building: Please drop a comment below with your flat numbers to prove this is a collective issue!)

Hiperoptic claims that there is no need for installation as the flat is already connected but I cannot find the hiperoptic ONT anyware on the flat.

I recently contracted hiperoptic for home broadband and they are only sending me a router to connect to the internet claiming that the installation has already been done. I contacted them on the chat and they basically sent me a random picture of another install and told me to look better.

Is there a way to better communicate with them to tell them that they need an engineer?

Thanks in advance for any help.

UPDATE: I contacted support again. This time they were much nicer and have an engineer coming to do the installation

All lights are green yet no connection

Has anyone experienced an issue where everything looks good but there is no connection?

I have logged into the router and the “WAN Link Status” just says “Linking” but I am successfully getting an IPv6 address.

There was some maintenance carried out in my area today which has completed and since the maintenance I have completely lost connection.

My neighbours had problems but they are all now back online…
