Full Fibre Speeds Starting at £25.99/Month Plus Up to £150 in Reward Value
BT Broadband’s Black Friday 2025 promotion delivers compelling value across its entire fibre range, running through December 11, 2025 (with Full Fibre 900 extended to December 18). Since EE TV requires either BT or EE broadband, these packages make ideal foundations for the entertainment bundles, while offering substantial speed upgrades for gaming, streaming, and multi-device households.
Understanding BT’s Broadband Tiers and Technology
BT offers three distinct broadband technologies, each with different speed capabilities and underlying infrastructure.
Superfast Fibre (FTTC) packages use a hybrid fiber-to-the-cabinet approach, combining fibre-optic cables from the exchange to a street cabinet, then traditional copper wiring completing the final connection to your home. This technology can deliver speeds up to approximately 80Mbps, suitable for standard streaming and browsing but limited for heavy multi-device usage.
Full Fibre (FTTP) packages represent a complete upgrade, with pure fibre-optic cables running directly from the exchange to your premises. This eliminates the copper bottleneck entirely. FTTP can achieve speeds up to 1,600 Mbps depending on location, delivering consistent performance even when multiple household members stream, game, and work simultaneously.
BT’s router for these packages is the Smart Hub 2, featuring advanced technology including seven antennas positioned to maximize coverage, dual-band Wi-Fi with ac standard technology, four gigabit Ethernet ports for wired connectivity, and smart scan optimization that continuously monitors and adjusts your connection for peak performance.
The Black Friday 2025 Broadband Packages
All packages include free installation and postage, eliminating upfront costs. Prices automatically increase by £4/month every March (from March 31, 2026, and again from March 31, 2027).
Superfast Fibre Packages
Superfast Fibre 2 (67Mbps) – £25.99/month
This entry-level option suits households primarily focused on EE TV streaming without demanding heavy downloads. You receive typical speeds around 67Mbps with a minimum guaranteed speed of 35Mbps. The package includes a £60 Virtual Reward Card, functioning as a prepaid Mastercard usable virtually anywhere Mastercard is accepted.
Fibre 2 (74Mbps) – £25.99/month
Marginally faster than Superfast Fibre 2, this package offers speeds around 74Mbps, also with £60 Virtual Reward Card value. Speeds at this tier handle most streaming requirements, supporting 4K content on single devices or HD streaming across multiple simultaneous streams.
Full Fibre Packages
Full Fibre 150 (150Mbps) – £27.99/month
This represents the real value inflection point. At 150Mbps, you’re accessing genuine ultrafast speeds roughly 6 times faster than basic superfast fibre. BT’s Stay Fast Guarantee provides a minimum guaranteed download speed of 100Mbps, meaning if speeds fall below this threshold, you receive £20 credit. The £70 Virtual Reward Card adds significant promotional value.
This speed tier comfortably handles 4K streaming, competitive gaming, remote work with video calls, and multiple simultaneous connections without buffering.
Full Fibre 300 (300Mbps) – £30.99/month
Doubling the previous tier’s speed, Full Fibre 300 delivers approximately 300Mbps download and 49Mbps upload speeds, with BT guaranteeing a minimum of 150Mbps download. This tier supports 4K streaming across multiple devices simultaneously and represents the ideal middle ground for households with multiple users. The £80 Virtual Reward Card enhances the deal further.
Full Fibre 500 (500Mbps) – £31.99/month
Premium performance for demanding households, Full Fibre 500 provides approximately 500Mbps download speeds with 62Mbps uploads, guaranteed to a minimum of 250Mbps. This speed accommodates extreme use cases: simultaneous 4K streaming across multiple televisions, intensive online gaming without lag, large file transfers, and professional video conferencing. The £85 Virtual Reward Card sweetens the offer.
Full Fibre 900 (900Mbps) – £35.99/month
BT’s flagship offering, Full Fibre 900 achieves approximately 900Mbps download speeds with 71Mbps uploads. The Stay Fast Guarantee guarantees 700Mbps minimum performance, ensuring you’re receiving genuine gigabit-class service. At £35.99 monthly, this represents exceptional value for speeds previously reserved for business-class connections just years ago. Crucially, this package extends to December 18, giving additional time to sign up compared to other tiers.
The £150 Virtual Reward Card—the highest available—effectively reduces your first three months’ cost to just under £21/month.
What Happens After Black Friday: Price Increases Explained
All promotional pricing contains built-in annual increases. From March 31, 2026, all broadband packages increase by £4/month. This pattern repeats from March 31, 2027.
For example, Full Fibre 300 at £30.99/month becomes £34.99 from March 2026, then £38.99 from March 2027. Over your 24-month contract, this represents cumulative price increases of £96 beyond the initial promotional monthly cost.
Claiming Your Virtual Reward Card
The Virtual Reward Card process requires active participation—it won’t arrive automatically. You must claim your reward within three months of placing your order via www.bt.com/manage/bt-reward-card/, entering your details and activating the card.
Once activated, the card typically arrives within 14 days. Critically, you must activate the card within three months of receiving it, or it expires. The card functions as a prepaid Mastercard with no cash exchange option—you must spend it where Mastercard is accepted, whether online retailers, physical shops, or subscription services.
Speed Guarantees: BT’s Stay Fast Promise
BT’s Stay Fast Guarantee provides a personalised speed guarantee specific to your connection. The provider constantly monitors your speeds and automatically optimises them. If speeds drop below your guaranteed minimum, you receive £20 credit applied to your bill.
The guarantee refers specifically to speeds from the BT network to your Smart Hub—not Wi-Fi speeds from the Hub to individual devices, which can vary based on distance, interference, and device capabilities.
Speed Requirements for Common Activities
Understanding what speeds you actually need helps determine the optimal package for your household.
For 4K streaming, a minimum of 25Mbps per device is recommended, meaning 100Mbps comfortably supports four simultaneous 4K streams. TNT Sports streaming requires 3.5Mbps for standard definition, 6Mbps for HDR, and 25-30Mbps for 4K HDR content.
For gaming, 25Mbps minimum supports console gaming, while 100Mbps-plus provides ideal performance for competitive online play. If you’re streaming on Twitch, you need 8Mbps upload minimum.
Working from home comfortably requires around 50-100Mbps for video conferencing, file transfers, and collaborative work across multiple household members.
Availability Varies by Postcode
BT’s available speeds depend entirely on your location and existing infrastructure. The UK’s average broadband speed reached 223Mbps in 2025, up significantly from previous years, yet rural areas still lag considerably behind urban speeds.
Full Fibre infrastructure continues expanding, with 83% of UK premises now eligible for gigabit-capable broadband. However, availability remains postcode-dependent, and your home might only qualify for FTTC or lower-tier Full Fibre speeds.
Use BT’s postcode checker before committing to determine your maximum available speed tier.
Bundling with EE TV: The Complete Picture
These broadband packages form the foundation for EE TV subscriptions. The £13/month Entertainment bundle, £2/month Sport bundle (first six months), or £40/month Full Works package all require a simultaneous BT broadband 24-month contract.
This means your combined monthly cost for broadband plus entertainment typically ranges from £39-70/month depending on package selection, before factoring annual price increases.
Key Considerations for Your Decision
Speed needs matter: If you’re primarily watching EE TV alone with occasional browsing, Full Fibre 150 at £27.99 proves sufficient. Households with multiple simultaneous streamers, gamers, or remote workers benefit from upgrading to Full Fibre 300 or above.
Virtual Reward Cards require action: Forgetting to claim within three months means losing the entire card value. Set a calendar reminder for two months after ordering.
Price increases are mandatory: Budget the £4/month annual increases into your calculation. A £25.99 package becomes £33.99 by year two—factor this when assessing 24-month total costs.
Postcode availability is limiting: Confirm your eligible speeds before purchasing. You cannot upgrade later if a faster tier becomes available in your area without potentially recontacting for new terms.
Conclusion
BT’s Black Friday 2025 broadband deals represent genuine savings, particularly at Full Fibre tier levels where promotion pricing spans the entire contract rather than expiring after introductory months. The £150 Virtual Reward Card on Full Fibre 900 effectively provides 40% savings on first-quarter costs, while mid-tier Full Fibre 300 offers the best balance between affordability and real-world performance for family households.
These offers run through December 11, 2025 for most packages, with Full Fibre 900 extended to December 18. Availability varies significantly by postcode, making early verification essential before promotion windows close.
