The best full fibre (FTTP) broadband deals January 2022
![](https://images.gnwcdn.com/2020/articles/2020-08-18-12-23/full_fibre_broadband_deals.jpg/EG11/resize/1200x-1/2110835.jpg)
Full fibre broadband is here. Over the last year, the availability of this much-faster fibre to the premises (FTTP) broadband technology has grown significantly across the UK.

These providers are seeking to entice customers to switch to the new service with better offers. If you're lucky enough to be within the coverage area and want to try it for yourself, here are some of the best full fibre broadband deals out there this month.
