Using the Openreach network, Onestream offers fast broadband at affordable prices, making it a viable alternative to the big names. While extras may be more limited, it’s worth considering if you're looking for value-focused full fibre options in Brighton.
Hyperoptic
Even its slowest package has a very healthy average speed of 50Mbps. And despite being fast paced it also offers really good prices. Another big draw is that it also comes with a flexible rolling contract for those not looking to lock-in.

4th Utility
This small, independent provider offers fast, flexible, affordable full fibre. With 30-day contract options and prices that start from £23, there's a lot to like about 4th Utility for those who have access. Their broadband comes through the CityFibre network which is available to about 20% of Brighton, in the areas around Kemptown, Whitehawk and Bevendean.
Lit
Lit Fibre is everything you'd expect from an alternative network. It offers full fibre speeds of up to 1 gig – this will increase to 2.5Gb soon, too – that are all symmetrical (upload is just as fast as download).
