Zen Internet UK Finally Launch 1.6Gbps FTTP Broadband via Openreach

Rochdale-based UK ISP Zen Internet appears to have finally started to make their new Openreach powered 1.6Gbps broadband package available to retail customers, which follows some months after they made the new tier available at wholesale to other partners (here). But there’s still no sign of any 2Gbps packages on the CityFibre side of their network.

The new top tier package costs £65 per month (plus a one-off £15 set-up charge) for estimated downloads of 1,600Mbps (115Mbps upload) on an 18-month contract term. Customers who take this package will also receive Amazon’s Wi-Fi 6E eero mesh router, although you can optionally add the eero Max 7 (Wi-Fi 7) router for an extra £10 per month.

NOTE: Openreach’s FTTP network currently covers 16 million UK premises and they aim to reach 25 million by December 2026, before hopefully expanding up to 30m by 2030.

However, we’re not huge fans of Amazon’s kit, partly due to the limited port options on their devices. But each to their own. Credits to community member YuGi for the tip.
