36 months: Lowest monthly cost + often £0 installation

Location and Distance
Urban locations within 100m of existing fibre: Lowest costs
Semi-urban within 500m: Moderate costs
Rural or 1km+: Higher costs due to civil engineering
Distance from provider's network affects installation fees

100Mbps: From £245/month
500Mbps: From £325/month
1Gbps: From £395/month
10Gbps: From £995/month
Each additional 1Mbps of speed adds approximately £1.50-£2 to monthly costs.
