About LoopDL and the network
Who are LoopDL?
A UK telecoms company, regulated by Ofcom. We design our own 5G devices and run them on our own LDL network:
- the101 Pro2 for home
- loopTwo for portable
- LoopPhone for mobile
You buy the device outright so it is yours, then choose a monthly plan separately, or no plan at all.
Which network do you use?
The LDL network, a multi-operator network available across the UK. We do not name the operators behind it.
Choosing a product
I already have fibre — can I just use the device for better wifi?
Yes, that is the101 Pro2 as device only. Your line plugs into it and there is no LoopDL plan.
What is 5G smartswitch broadband?
the101 Pro2 replaces your existing router and your line runs the home as it does today. If the line goes down completely, it moves the home to 5G on its own, and back when the line returns. It does not switch for a slow line.
The plan carries 20GB of 5G a month, for outages rather than as your main connection.
Plans and pricing
Paying and billing
Can I pay for the device monthly?
You can split the device into 3 interest-free instalments with Klarna, on orders from £35 to £1,000. Klarna is the lender and the agreement is with them. We do not rent devices and do not offer finance of our own.
Why is my first bill a part-month amount?
It depends how you paid for the device:
- Paid outright with a plan: the rest of that first month is free, and your first full payment lands on the 1st.
- Paid with Klarna: the rest of that month is charged pro-rata.
- eSIM-only plan, or a plan added later to a device you already own: also pro-rata.

Buying, delivery and the box
How much is delivery and where do you deliver?
Delivery is free on everything. We deliver to UK addresses only, and the delivery time is shown at checkout and in your order confirmation.
Setting up
The devices
How fast is the101 Pro2?
Fast 5G — Wifi 7 inside and four 5G receivers. Your real speed depends on the 5G signal at your address and where you put the device, so we do not quote a number.
Can I use my own SIM?
the101 Pro2 is eSIM only — there is no physical SIM slot of any kind. It is not locked, so it works with a compatible data eSIM from another provider.
How long does the loopTwo battery last?
12,000mAh built in. How long that lasts depends on how many devices are connected and how hard they are working it, so we do not publish an hours figure. It charges over USB-C at up to 45W.

Returns, warranty and faults
How does the 30-day money-back device guarantee work?
If you buy a device from our website, you can return it within 30 days of delivery for a refund.
Contact us through the website or app to arrange your return. Factory reset your device, remove it from your Google or Apple account and include all accessories. We may reduce your refund if the device is damaged or incomplete.
We’ll refund you within 14 days of receiving your device. If you used a pay-later service, we’ll refund that provider.
Any plan bought with the device will end at the end of your current billing month, unless you tell us you want to keep it.
