What is Be Fibre Be200? Complete Package Guide
Be Fibre Be200 is the entry-level package in Be Fibre's full fibre broadband lineup, delivering 200 Mbps symmetric speeds at just £24/month. This means you get 200 Mbps for both downloads AND uploads—making it far superior to standard FTTC broadband which typically offers only 10-20 Mbps upload regardless of download speed.
At £24/month, Be200 represents exceptional value in the UK broadband market. You're getting true full fibre (FTTP) performance—the same technology that powers gigabit packages—at a price point competitive with basic Sky or TalkTalk FTTC packages that deliver far less capable connections.
Who is Be200 Perfect For?
Be200 is ideal for:
- Couples and small households: 1-3 people with moderate internet usage
- Remote workers: Excellent for video conferencing with symmetric uploads
- Streamers: Easily handles multiple 4K streams simultaneously
- Budget-conscious users: Best value full fibre in the UK
- First-time full fibre users: Perfect introduction to symmetric speeds
The key advantage over Virgin Media or BT's equivalent-priced packages is the symmetric upload speed. While a typical £25/month package from major providers might offer 70-150 Mbps download with only 10-20 Mbps upload, Be200 delivers 200 Mbps in both directions.
Be200 vs Entry-Level Competitors
| Provider | Download | Upload | Price | Price Rises? |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Be Fibre Be200 | 200 Mbps | 200 Mbps | £24/mo | No |
| Virgin M125 | 132 Mbps | 20 Mbps | ~£28/mo | Yes |
| BT Fibre Essential | 36 Mbps | 9 Mbps | ~£28/mo | Yes (CPI) |
| Sky Superfast | 59 Mbps | 16 Mbps | ~£25/mo | Yes |
| TalkTalk Fibre 65 | 67 Mbps | 18 Mbps | ~£24/mo | Yes |
As the comparison clearly shows, Be200 offers dramatically better value than competing entry-level packages. You get 3x faster downloads than Sky Superfast and 10x faster uploads—all for the same or less money. Plus, no mid-contract price rises means your £24/month stays £24/month.

Is 200 Mbps fast enough for my household?
For most households of 1-3 people, absolutely. 200 Mbps comfortably handles multiple 4K streams, video calls, and general browsing simultaneously. The symmetric upload is particularly valuable for remote working. Larger households or those with heavy gaming/downloading needs might prefer Be500 or higher.
Why is Be200 cheaper than other providers' slower packages?
Be Fibre builds and operates their own network, eliminating wholesale costs paid to Openreach. They also focus solely on broadband without TV or phone bundles, keeping costs low. The 30-month contract helps spread installation costs, and their no-price-rise guarantee means they don't build in future increases.
Can I upgrade from Be200 to a faster package later?
Yes, Be Fibre allows package upgrades. If you find Be200 isn't enough, you can move to Be500, Be1000, or Be2300. Contact their customer service to discuss upgrade options and any contract implications.
Is Be200 good for working from home?
Excellent choice. The 200 Mbps symmetric upload means your video call quality is as good going out as coming in. Unlike asymmetric connections where your colleagues see poor video quality, Be200 delivers clear HD video conferencing. File uploads to cloud services are fast too.
How does Be200 compare to Virgin Media M125?
Be200 offers faster downloads (200 vs 132 Mbps) and dramatically faster uploads (200 vs 20 Mbps). It's also cheaper and includes no price rises. The only advantage M125 has is wider availability since Virgin's cable network covers more areas than Be Fibre currently does.
What router comes with Be200?
Be200 includes a WiFi 6 (802.11ax) router capable of delivering full speed wirelessly. This is the same quality router included with higher-tier packages—Be Fibre doesn't skimp on hardware for entry-level customers.
Is there a shorter contract option?
The standard Be200 contract is 30 months. Shorter contract options may be available at a higher monthly rate. The 30-month commitment helps Be Fibre offer such competitive pricing while guaranteeing no price rises throughout.
