Symmetric multi-gig on the Freedom Fibre network. Static IPv4. No CGNAT. No throttling. Built for the people in Salford who actually use what they pay for.
Salford has a higher density of remote workers, freelance creatives, and home-server enthusiasts than almost anywhere outside central Manchester, and the Freedom Fibre rollout has finally given those households a credible alternative to the default ISPs. Olilo's 5Gbps tier is the version of that build aimed squarely at people who actually use their connection.
Coverage runs across central Salford, Pendleton, Broughton and the streets around MediaCityUK.

Olilo connects homes in Salford on the Freedom Fibre XGS-PON network. The 5Gbps tier sits on top of the same fibre build, so anywhere already eligible for Freedom Fibre 2.3Gbps is a good candidate for 5Gbps when it lights up. Eligibility is by individual address - register your interest and we'll check yours.
Olilo is launching the new 5Gbps Freedom Fibre tier across the Greater Manchester footprint, including Salford. The exact light-up date for your address depends on the local XGS-PON build - register your interest and we'll email you the moment your postcode goes live.
Pricing for the 5Gbps tier in Salford hasn't been published yet. Olilo's existing Freedom Fibre 2.3Gbps service starts at £56/month with no install fee on a 12-month term, and the 5Gbps tier will sit above that. We'll publish the launch price ahead of the rollout.
Yes - to actually use a 5Gbps line in Salford you'll need a router with at least one 10GbE WAN port. Olilo doesn't lock you into a specific device, so you can bring whatever you like (UniFi, MikroTik, OPNsense, OpenWrt - all fine).
Eligibility is by individual address, not just postcode. Freedom Fibre is rolling out across M5, M6, M7 in Salford, and Olilo's address checker will tell you whether the new 5Gbps tier is in scope for your specific home.
Same Freedom Fibre build, neighbouring towns. Worth a look if you're on the edge of Salford.
