Hey!Broadband Speed Test FAQ
How fast is Hey!Broadband?
Hey!Broadband offers symmetrical fibre speeds from 150 Mbps to 900 Mbps. Symmetrical means upload equals download, so a 500 Mbps plan delivers 500 Mbps in both directions. As an altnet with its own infrastructure, Hey! provides consistent performance without Openreach congestion. Customers typically achieve speeds very close to advertised rates.
Where is Hey!Broadband available?
Hey!Broadband serves Northeast England including Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, and County Durham. Coverage includes areas around Cramlington, Blyth, Ashington, Morpeth, and surrounding communities. The network is expanding to new areas. Check heybroadband.co.uk with your postcode to verify availability since coverage depends on where infrastructure has been built.
How do I test my Hey!Broadband speed?
Use the speed test tool on this page to measure your Hey!Broadband download speed, upload speed, and ping latency. Connect directly to your router using an ethernet cable for accurate symmetrical fibre results. You should see nearly identical upload and download speeds. Hey! fibre typically delivers very low latency under 5ms.
Does Hey!Broadband use Openreach?
No, Hey!Broadband builds and owns its own full fibre network infrastructure independent of Openreach. This means Hey! controls the entire connection from exchange to your home. Independent infrastructure allows Hey! to maintain quality standards and respond directly to faults without relying on Openreach engineers. This approach is common among UK altnets.
