Hyperoptic referral code: get a voucher worth £25 to £75

Join Hyperoptic through a referral link and both you and the referrer get an Amazon, Tesco or John Lewis voucher. The amount is not flat: it runs from £25 to £75, set by the speed and the contract length you choose.

Hyperoptic still headlines this scheme as “up to £75”, and what decides the amount is two dropdowns in the order form. The full tier table is further down this page. It came from the email Hyperoptic sends a referrer when they register, which is where I first read it after registering on 7 August 2026, and Hyperoptic now publishes the same four tiers in the FAQ on its own refer-and-earn page, checked 7 September 2026. I was also a Hyperoptic customer for about three years, on 1Gb in a London flat from 2018 until 2021, which is the other reason this page leads the broadband section rather than the one paying the most.

Hyperoptic

Hyperoptic is a UK full-fibre broadband provider that wires whole buildings rather than whole streets, which is why its network is concentrated in apartment blocks, converted warehouses and new-build developments in cities rather than spread evenly across a region. It sells residential and business broadband on 150Mb, 250Mb, 500Mb and 1Gb tiers, on monthly rolling, 12-month, 24-month and 36-month contracts. The contract length you pick changes the referral voucher as well as the price.

My rating for this deal

This rates the Hyperoptic referral itself: what you get, what you have to do to get it, and how long it takes to arrive. It isn’t a rating of Hyperoptic as a company.

Why this rating

The only broadband network here not confined to a single region, and the only one I have used. What keeps it off the top is a condition readers walk straight into: an order that touched a price comparison or cashback site first is disqualified, even if you then go to Hyperoptic directly to buy.

Hyperoptic referral pros and cons

Pros

  • The highest tier pays £75 to each side, and both sides always get the same amount
  • Anyone can be a referrer: Hyperoptic runs a public registration form for non-customers
  • Business broadband qualifies as well as residential, which the public page does not mention
  • 20 referrals a year at £1,500 is a far higher ceiling than most broadband schemes
  • Vouchers are Amazon, Tesco or John Lewis rather than credit locked to the bill
  • Whole-building fibre means the line is not shared with a street of neighbours at peak time

Cons

  • The £75 headline needs a 1Gb package on a 24 or 36-month contract; a 12-month 150Mb order pays £25
  • Going through a price comparison site or a cashback site first disqualifies the order entirely
  • The reader has to remember to tick “I was referred” and type the code, so there are two ways to lose it
  • Coverage is building-by-building, so a neighbouring street can be eligible when you are not
  • Nothing arrives for at least 30 days, and Hyperoptic allows itself 90
  • Hyperoptic's own line above the tier table names speed only, so the contract-length half of what sets the amount is easy to miss

What are the Hyperoptic referral tiers?

The voucher is £75 each for 1Gb on a 24 or 36-month contract, £50 each for 150Mb, 250Mb or 500Mb on those same lengths, £40 each for 1Gb on 12-month or rolling, and £25 each for 150Mb to 500Mb on 12-month or rolling. Both sides always receive the same amount.

Hyperoptic headlines the scheme as “up to £75” and publishes the breakdown behind that in the “What are my reward options?” answer on its refer-and-earn page (opens in new tab):

Commitment1Gb150Mb, 250Mb or 500Mb
24 or 36 months£75 each£50 each
12 months or monthly rolling£40 each£25 each

That table used to be private. When this page shipped in August 2026 the tiers appeared only in the email Hyperoptic sends a referrer on registration, and its public pages stopped at “up to £75”; the four figures have not moved since, and they are now checkable without registering.

One wrinkle survives the change. Hyperoptic introduces the table with “the voucher value depends on the speed of broadband package that the switching friend chooses”, which names one of the two things that decide it. The registration email is the accurate sentence: “the speed and contract length of the broadband package your friend chooses.” Read the table, not the line above it.

Why this matters before you order. The gap between the top and bottom tier is £50, and it is decided by two dropdowns during checkout. A reader who assumed “up to £75” meant £75 and picked a 12-month 150Mb package receives £25. That is not a penalty, it is simply the tier, but nobody tells you at the point where you choose.

The cap is 20 referrals a year and £1,500, which reconciles exactly with the top tier: 20 lots of £75.

Can anyone refer, or do you have to be a Hyperoptic customer?

Anyone can. Hyperoptic runs a registration form specifically for non-customers at hyperoptic.com/registerreferrer, and its refer-and-earn page routes them to it. Registration asks for an email address and a full name, and the code arrives by email.

Most UK broadband referral schemes are closed to non-customers, so this is worth being precise about. Hyperoptic's own page says: “Customers log in to My Account and visit the ‘Referrals’ tab. Non-customers register [here]”, linking to its referrer registration form (opens in new tab).

I registered through that form on 7 August 2026. It asked for an email address and a full name, nothing about an account, and the confirmation email arrived with the link and the tier table on it.

Business referrals count too. The refer-and-earn page describes the qualifying order as a residential package. The registration email is broader: “both home and business broadband connections are eligible”, and it names the qualifying service as “residential or business”. If you are ordering for a company, that is worth knowing, because the public page reads as though you cannot.

How to avoid losing a Hyperoptic referral voucher

Order directly at hyperoptic.com, select “I was referred” during checkout, and enter the code. Do not click through from a price comparison site, a cashback site or any affiliate link first, because Hyperoptic disqualifies orders that touch one.

There are three separate ways this reward disappears, and only one of them is obvious.

The comparison-site rule is the one that catches people. Hyperoptic's words: “Only orders placed directly with Hyperoptic are eligible for rewards, so you cannot use a price comparison website or affiliate link first (even if you click through to Hyperoptic to buy).” The parenthesis is doing real work. Opening a comparison site, then typing hyperoptic.com yourself, is enough to break it.

That rules out stacking this with cashback. If you hold TopCashback or Quidco, the habit of checking cashback before every purchase is the wrong habit here: a few pounds of cashback would cost you up to £75.

The code is a second step, not the same step as the link. Hyperoptic requires the friend to “select ‘I was referred’ during the order process, and provide the code that was emailed” to the referrer. The link carries the code, but if the order form asks for it, the code on this page is what goes in the box.

And it is a new-customer scheme. An existing Hyperoptic account at the same address does not qualify.

What Hyperoptic was like to live with

I had 1Gb Hyperoptic in a London flat from 2018 to 2021, paying about £34 a month. No engineer visit was ever needed after installation, measured speeds matched the advertised ones, and there was one outage in three years. I left because I moved out of the coverage area.

Three years is long enough to have an opinion, and long enough ago that it needs dating rather than presenting as current service.

The thing that stood out was how little attention it needed. One outage across three years, no engineer callouts, and speed tests that came back at the number on the bill rather than a fraction of it. Full fibre into the building rather than to a street cabinet is the reason usually given for that, and it matched what I saw at 8pm on a weekday.

At about £34 a month for 1Gb in 2018 to 2021, it was also not the cheapest line available at the time, and it is not priced there now. Check the current rate on Hyperoptic's own site rather than trusting a five-year-old figure, including this one.

What I cannot tell you is whether any of that still holds in 2026, because I have not been a customer since I moved. Hyperoptic is due to reach my current address, and my contract with Home Telecom ends in mid-October 2026, so this section gets rewritten from current use rather than memory when that happens.

Can you actually get Hyperoptic where you live?

Hyperoptic wires whole buildings, so eligibility is decided address by address rather than by area. Apartment blocks, converted warehouses and new-build developments in cities are the typical footprint, and a house on the same street as a connected block often cannot order.

This is the first thing to check and the reason a lot of readers of this page cannot use it.

Hyperoptic's model is to bring fibre into a building and distribute it internally, which is efficient in a block of 60 flats and uneconomic for a row of terraces. Its own FAQ splits its answers on “I live in an apartment building” versus “I live in a house”, which tells you where the network is.

Check your postcode on Hyperoptic's site before reading any further about the voucher. If your building is not connected, no referral link helps, and the honest answer is that one of the regional networks may serve you instead: Quickline in rural Yorkshire, Lincolnshire and the Humber, toob around Southampton, Airband across Devon, Wales and the west, or Zzoomm in market towns.
