Fibre on Demand provides full-fibre broadband, as a bespoke installation by Openreach to your premises. It is available across the UK – even in areas that cannot reliably get FTTC.

Fibre on Demand differs from standard Cerberus FTTP in a number of important ways. Because the fibre is delivered to your premises as a custom build, a substantial installation charge will apply. These Installation charges are determined following an onsite site survey at your premises.

The lead time for installation is dependent on the amount of work needed to get the fibre to your location. This is based on the distance to the nearest NGA aggregation node but could vary according to the local network infrastructure - or the local geography.

After the standard 24 month contract, Fibre on Demand can be re-graded to a regular Cerberus FTTP service. These services typically have lower pricing and a wider range of bandwidth options than the FoD variant of FTTP.

Linked Orders - Work with neighbours to share installation costs

A unique feature of Cerberus Fibre on Demand is the option to share the installation costs with neighbours also wanting to upgrade to ultrafast broadband.

As long as the neighbouring premises are all reasonably close to each other, much of the new fibre infrastructure installed by Openreach can be used to serve a cluster of premises without adding significantly to the overall costs.

For linked FoD orders, Openreach survey all interested premises and provides a single cost to deliver fibre to all of them. For a few premises, the total cost will often be only marginally more than delivering service to a single address.

This total installation charge is then split between all participating customers, resulting in a much lower build charge per customer. Working with neighbours in this way means you can make ultrafast fibre broadband cost-effective almost anywhere in the UK.

Cerberus provides all the assistance and order management tools needed to facilitate Linked Fibre on Demand orders and by working together in a group of neighbours, the costs can be reduced significantly.

Broadband Voucher Funding

Please note that applications for new UK Gigabit vouchers are on hold following a re-launch of the voucher scheme in December 2022. We strongly recommend that any customers looking to use Gigabit Vouchers to fund a Fibre on Demand installation do not submit any new orders until further notice.

Please speak to a member of the team on 0345 257 1333 if you have any questions about voucher funding.

Funding is available nationwide for Fibre on Demand installations via the UK Gigabit Voucher, a part of the UK government's Project Gigabit that launched in April 2021. This offers a voucher for £3,500 for business customers and £1,500 for residential customers. In some areas, top-up funding is available from the local authority or devolved administration that increases the value of the voucher.

In Scotland, the Scottish government provides funding for Fibre on Demand, nationwide. To qualify, the maximum broadband speed available currently at your location must not exceed 30Mbps. The new Fibre on Demand service must have a download speed of at least double your current speed.

Multiple orders may be submitted as part of a group order and voucher funding pooled to cover the installation charges. Get funding for FoD
