About Zen Internet
Zen Internet has been operating since 1995 and is one of the longest-established independent ISPs in the UK. The brand consistently tops or near-tops independent customer-service rankings and has a strong B Corp certification and ethical-business positioning that resonates with premium consumers. Zen retails Openreach FTTC and FTTP, has been an early CityFibre wholesale partner, and offers business-grade options alongside its consumer tariffs. For switchers, Zen is the natural choice for households who value support quality and ethics over the lowest headline tariff, and for technical users who want a static IP option and reliable peering.
