More choice for broadband customers as Rebel Internet joins CityFibre’s ultrafast network

Fast-growing broadband provider Rebel Internet has teamed up with CityFibre to offer new full-fibre broadband packages on the UK’s second-largest fibre network.

The move means Rebel can now reach around 23 million premises nationwide by combining CityFibre’s 4.6 million-home network with its existing coverage on Openreach’s national infrastructure.

New full-fibre plans

Customers on CityFibre’s network can now choose between two new symmetrical (same upload and download speed) packages:

  • Rebel 550 Mbps
  • Rebel 1 Gbps

All plans come with:

  • Wi-Fi 6 router as standard
  • Choice of 24-, 12-, or 1-month rolling contracts
  • Fixed-price guarantee – no mid-contract rises
  • Access to Rebel’s Home Wi-Fi app to manage devices and boost signal strength

Optional extras include SuperPods (£5 per month) to extend Wi-Fi coverage, Home Phone with unlimited UK calls (£10 per month), and a Static IP address (£2.50 per month).

Why it matters

This new partnership gives broadband customers more full-fibre options beyond Openreach, offering faster and more reliable connections through CityFibre’s expanding 5.5 Gbps-capable network.

Rebel’s no mid-contract price rise promise and shorter contract options could appeal to households wanting flexibility without the shock of yearly increases.

What Rebel says

Tucker George, CEO and co-founder of Rebel, said:

“We’re thrilled to announce this new partnership, which allows us to provide full-fibre broadband to even more people nationwide. CityFibre’s growing full-fibre network lets us bring customers faster, more reliable broadband – and we’re excited to accelerate our rapid growth with this partnership.”

What is CityFibre?

CityFibre is the UK’s largest independent full-fibre network operator, building ultra-fast broadband infrastructure that rivals Openreach. Its network already passes 4.6 million homes (4.3 million ready-for-service) across towns and cities, with speeds up to 5.5 Gbps.

CityFibre doesn’t sell broadband directly to consumers – instead, it works with ISPs like Rebel, Vodafone, Lit and 4th Utility to deliver services over its network.
