No, and neither does it use the BT Openreach network. Established in September 2018 by Conal Henry (Chair) and Dominic Kearns (CEO), the company secured backing from Infracapital (M&G Investments) in July 2019. Fibrus is currently under the control of Infracapital, a prominent infrastructure investor renowned for its successful track record in delivering, owning, and managing investments in full fibre broadband projects.

Unlike many providers that rely on the Openreach network and pay for access, Fibrus has established its own pure fibre network. This type of broadband, also known as FTTP, FTTH, or full fibre, stands distinct from the standard broadband found in most UK addresses.

Typically, so-called 'fibre broadband' utilises fibre optic cables only up to the street cabinet, with copper cables bridging the gap to individual homes. This technology, known as FTTC or fibre to the cabinet, only offers a maximum speed of around 70Mbps. Fibrus however, with their pure fibre, offer packages as blisteringly fast as 2000Mbps.

Both Fibrus and BT offer services in Northern Ireland and Northern England. Fibrus broadband delivers full fibre connections across Northern Ireland, covering approximately 40% of the region and extending into North West England. BT boasts broader coverage, reaching 87% with full fibre in Northern Ireland and approximately 38% in the UK overall, offering part-fibre connections. In summary, Fibrus broadband tends to be more economical than BT, providing faster speeds, improved uploads, and utilising a more contemporary router.

Fibrus don’t do slow broadband, with speeds of 100Mb to 2000Mb (2Gb). This is because of their own fibre to the property (FTTP) network.

No. As is becoming common with broadband packages, particularly those offering full fibre, a standard phone line isn't included or required. Should you choose to add a phone line to your package, Fibrus Talk utilises internet phone, digital phone, or VoIP (the terms are interchangeable), rather than a traditional copper wire connection to a telephone exchange.

As Fibrus has its own network, each installation involves running a line from the street to your property, which can pose challenges. More urban installations typically take 10 days, rural ones about 20, but that varies as installations can vary in complexity. Additional checks or surveys may be necessary, affecting setup time.

They handle arrangements and confirm your installation date, communicating any delays. A surveyor may assess your property for optimal cabling routes, occasionally requiring prior work like civil engineering. Fibrus do aim to minimise disruption.

To terminate your contract, reach out to their retentions team at 028 9099 3230 and select option 3. You have the option to cancel your contract with a 30-day notice period. If you choose to cancel before your minimum contract term ends (excluding the cooling off period of 14 days from order confirmation), cancellation charges will apply for each remaining month of your package, along with any outstanding fees.
