Published date: March 2023

Your Co-op Broadband offers climate-positive packages to members and customers that all come equipped with a router, care package, unlimited data and carbon-cutting, to reduce your footprint each month by up to 10kg. Though there are some key differences between our 4 different offerings.

What unlimited broadband deals do we offer?

Your Superfast fibre broadband

Superfast broadband provides a fast internet connection that has a download speed of 38Mbps and an upload speed of 9.5Mbps. It’s now the most common type of internet connection UK-wide - with 96% of homes being able to access some form of superfast fibre broadband connection. This package includes our standard fault care to quickly address any issues with your service and inclusive line rental and a router.

A superfast fibre broadband service can support multiple people surfing online at the same time, without speed dropping, which is why it’s suitable for home life as well as home business use. Superfast fibre broadband is faster than ‘Standard broadband’ or ‘Normal’ options which generally have download speeds of less than 30Mbps.

Your Superfast Plus fibre broadband

This is an upgraded package from Your Superfast, with the key difference for users being the download speed of 76Mbps and upload speed of 19Mbps. A faster service can support more devices at the same time with a faster internet speed for each user - including a faster working-from-home experience.

The wider package is very similar to Your Superfast, as it includes our standard fault care to quickly address any issues with your service with an inclusive line rental, a router, plus evening and weekend calls.

Your Superfast Enhanced broadband

Your Superfast Enhanced has the same download speed of 76Mbps and upload of 19Mbps as Superfast Plus, though the overall package is improved. The care package is upgraded to a 20-hour fault fix target from the moment of reporting, premium line rental, though the same inclusive evening and weekend calls.

Making this package highly suitable for busy homes with numerous streaming devices, home workers and even small businesses that operate from home.

Your Ultrafast broadband

Your Ultrafast is our fastest fibre broadband package available, with a download speed of 900Mbps and upload speeds of 100Mbps - it is the peak of performance for fibre broadband. These speeds can cater for small businesses using smart tech and heavy cloud services, home workers and the busiest households that stream 24/7, needing unrivalled ultrafast speeds.

Also included in Your Ultrafast is our best fibre care package, premium/critical, with a fault fix target of 8 hours from the moment of reporting, as well as Your Ultrafast router.
