Offer terms
Package speeds are pushed direct to your router over our Full Fibre network. Some speeds may not be achievable by a single device over Wi-Fi, and a wired connection will always deliver the best speeds. The speed you experience will depend on your distance from the router/Wi-Fi extender, usage and equipment capability. For information about your price at renewal time, please see our Price Guide.

Frequently asked questions
Still thinking about switching?
Every property is different, so it’s natural to have questions before changing broadband provider. Here are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from customers moving from YouFibre to Grain.
-
How do I switch to Grain?
Switching to Grain is as easy as 1-2-3:
Check: Enter your postcode into our postcode checker to see our available speeds.
Choose: Select the Full Fibre plan that fits your needs and complete your checkout online. Ensure you input your existing broadband account details when prompted!
Connect: We manage the switchover from your existing provider, ensuring a smooth transition with no complicated cancellations required from your side. -
How long will it take to activate my service?
Once your router is installed, the process to switch on your package happens straight away, meaning you can start enjoying your new Full Fibre broadband connection in no time! Our engineer will let you know if there’s anything you need to do.
-
Is there any downtime during a switch?
One Touch Switch is designed to minimise downtime. Once your new Grain service is installed, your current provider will be notified and action the cancellation of the old service, meaning you should never be left without a broadband service.
-
What do I need to consider before switching?
Check your current contract, including any end dates and cancellation fees. You can do this by calling them, checking a previous statement or logging in to an online account. When you make your switch, you will need to have your customer ID or account number handy, and also ensure its the registered bill payer who makes the switch.
If you choose to start an automatic switch, you will receive an email when we make the initial request that contains all the relevant information about your contract and monthly charges. This does not confirm a switch and will not cancel any existing service, until we get your consent.
-
Do I need to cancel YouFibre myself?
In most cases, you don’t need to cancel YouFibre broadband yourself when switching to a new provider. The One Touch Switch process means your new provider handles the cancellation for you. Just make sure your account details are correct before placing your order.
In some situations, you may still need to contact YouFibre directly – for example if you’re cancelling additional services or your switch falls outside the One Touch Switch process.
-
Can I switch from YouFibre before my contract ends?
If you’re still within your contract, you may need to pay an early termination fee to YouFibre. However, we recommend checking your contract terms to see if there’s an option to leave without penalties, such as if you’ve received a price increase.
-
Will I need to return my YouFibre equipment if I switch?
YouFibre may ask you to return your router or other equipment after your service ends. Check your account or contact YouFibre for the latest return instructions.
