12th April. London, UK: As the internet turns 40, new data released today by<a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank"> Community Fibre</a>, London&rsquo;s fastest full-fibre broadband, and<a href="https://www.ageuk.org.uk/london/" rel="follow"> Age UK London</a> reveals for people over 60, the internet is no longer a &lsquo;nice to have&rsquo;, but a lifeline, as services in the UK - from banks to government services and supermarkets - become increasingly digitised.
Four in five respondents to the online survey told us that they now use the internet to shop for necessities (79%) and three quarters access bank accounts and pensions (75%), while two-thirds (64%) go online to keep in contact with friends and family. Additionally, half (48%) use the internet to book their medical appointments and to order prescriptions.
While 81% of the over 60s surveyed agree that the internet has a positive impact on their lives, there is a downside. Internet scams are now at an unprecedented high (1)&nbsp;and sadly one in five (21%) Brits over 60 have been scammed at least once. On average, those who have been conned have fallen victim to fraud twice - whilst for some, it is as many as nine times in their lives - leading to understandable feelings of anger (75%), anxiety (34%) and embarrassment (32%).
As the cost-of-living crisis continues, so do instances of internet fraud; the nation&rsquo;s &lsquo;scamedmic&rsquo; sees Brits over 60 receiving phishing scams twice a week - and 15% are contacted at least once a day. This barrage of contact leaves many feeling discouraged from surfing the web for fear of phishing scams (50%) and catfishing (33%).
When issues do arise, 16% of over 60s never ask for help, while one in ten (10%) don&rsquo;t have anyone to turn to for help when they need help getting online - rising to one in five (20%) for those without children.
To help bridge the digital skills and confidence gap in over 60s, Community Fibre has&nbsp;partnered with national charity Age UK London to develop the <a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/community-connect/digital-skills" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank">Digital Skills and Inclusion programme</a>, to help Londoners with all aspects of being online. Abigail Wood, CEO of Age UK London, commented &ldquo;It&rsquo;s encouraging to see people over 60 are becoming increasingly confident in surfing the web, as many important amenities such as banking, booking hospital appointments and shopping move online.
&ldquo;However, as fraudsters become increasingly sophisticated in taking advantage of the digitisation of key services, we must help do all we can to empower this age group to use the internet safely and avoid common pitfalls. At the same time, we will continue to press for public services to keep an offline option for those who cannot or choose not to use the internet.&rdquo;
Graeme Oxby, CEO of Community Fibre adds, &ldquo;We are committed to providing better broadband access and bridging the digital skills gap, enabling the communities we serve to access the internet safely and with confidence - something we&rsquo;ll continue to build on this year with the expansion of our Digital Ambassador programme.
&ldquo;With our research revealing a quarter (26%) of those over 60 are discouraged from using the internet due to high costs, we&rsquo;re also very proud to offer anyone on a low income, including pensioners, our Essential tariff without needing to prove their eligibility. With people needing the internet now more than ever to access essential services, we&rsquo;d encourage other broadband providers to follow suit.&rdquo;
How to spot an online scam: With one in five (22%) over 60s not feeling confident spotting a scam - <a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/community-connect/digital-skills" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank">Community Fibre</a> and <a href="https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/work-learning/technology-internet/internet-security/" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank">Age UK London</a> have a range of online resources that provide assistance, including guidance on <a href="https://www.ageuk.org.uk/information-advice/work-learning/technology-internet/" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank">making the most of the internet</a>, how to<a href="https://www.ageuk.org.uk/globalassets/age-uk/blocks/campaigns/think-digital/staying-safe-online.pdf" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank"> stay safe online</a> and <a href="https://www.ageuk.org.uk/barnet/our-services/latest-scams/" rel="follow noopener" target="_blank">common scams to be aware of at the moment</a>. Key indicators of a scam include:
<ol>
<li>Errors in spelling or grammar, or wording that just doesn&rsquo;t seem quite right or professional</li>
<li>Requests for personal information, such as usernames, password or bank details</li>
<li>Anything that&rsquo;s time-sensitive and wants you to act fast - it&rsquo;s unlikely your bank or other services would set you deadlines in this way</li>
<li>Fake websites, which are designed to look very similar to legitimate sites but use old logos, weird fonts or strange design</li>
</ol>

UK SCAMDEMIC: HALF OF OVER 60s PUT OFF SURFING THE WEB DUE TO RISE IN INTERNET SCAMS

Embargoed until 00:01 12th April. London, UK: As the internet turns 40, new data released today by Community Fibre, London’s fastest full-fibre broadband, and Age UK London reveals for people over 60, the internet is no longer a ‘nice to have’, but a lifeline, as services in the UK - from banks to government services and supermarkets - become increasingly digitised.

UK Scamdemic: Half of over 60s put off surfing the web due to rise in internet scams

18th January 2023, London, UK: <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.communityfibre.co.uk/__;!!JboVxjCXSME!K50TS-nBJ6RG4cj5-zJuDry4UDnxD5h17NtC3p4AGO1O3SIA9UuyvVTDsS02hndV22lmzA6PYKk5eeLGwO-R66fYVkdXrT0KiqY_Vw$">Community Fibre</a>, London&rsquo;s largest₁ and fastest₂ 100% full fibre broadband provider, has upgraded its social tariff broadband package, doubling in speed from 10Mbps to 20Mbps for just &pound;12.50/month₃. The Essential package now has enough bandwidth to support multiple connected devices in a home, as well as seamless streaming of Full HD on demand TV shows.&nbsp;
Annual UK household income is set to fall by &pound;2,100 as the cost-of-living crisis booms on₄, leaving many wondering how they are going to make ends meet. Those on income support can consider social broadband and mobile network tariffs, although many require proof of receiving welfare benefits before purchase. &nbsp;
Community Fibre&rsquo;s Essential package is the most accessible social broadband tariff on the market. Unlike competition, no proof of income support is required before purchase, available to residents in London on its network footprint. &nbsp; 
Graeme Oxby, CEO of Community Fibre said: &ldquo;Getting online is a necessity in order to lead a normal life in the modern world. If people are priced out of broadband, they won&rsquo;t be able to carry out essential everyday tasks including applying for jobs, paying bills or booking medical appointments. Our Essential tariff is the most accessible social tariff in the country available to anyone, not just those who can prove eligibility. By doubling the speed to 20Mbps, we ensure more people from the most vulnerable households can benefit from.&rdquo;&nbsp; 
Current Essential package customers who were previous getting 10Mbps will automatically be upgraded to 20Mbps. If an existing Community Fibre customer is struggling to keep up with their broadband payments, they can get in touch with our customer services team on <a href="tel:08000820770">0800 082 0770</a> to switch to the Essential tariff.  &nbsp; &nbsp;

Community Fibre Limited secures new finance facility of £985 million

Thursday 6th October 2022, LONDON: <a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/speedtest">Community Fibre</a>, the UK&rsquo;s #1 Internet Service Broadband provider (<a href="https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/communityfibre.co.uk">Trustpilot</a>, Oct 2022), today names UK gamer <a href="https://www.instagram.com/miniminter/?hl=en-gb">Miniminter</a> as its first-ever Head of Speed.&nbsp;
As Head of Speed, Miniminter, aka Simon Edward Minter, will be responsible for helping Brits to better understand their broadband speeds. The appointment follows Community Fibre&rsquo;s findings that one-third of Brits are unaware of the internet speeds they pay for₁.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Followed by millions, Miniminter is a leading gamer, content creator, and a founding member of&nbsp; Sidemen, a British YouTube gaming collective alongside other world-renowned personalities including KSI and W2S.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The ISP, which is London&rsquo;s largest₂ and fastest₃ 100% full fibre broadband provider boasting incredible internet speeds of up to 3,000 Mbps, also found that one in five Londoners experienced &lsquo;WiFi rage&rsquo; in the past year because of slow internet speeds₄. Commonly found in gaming, Community Fibre will tackle the issue with Miniminter&rsquo;s support, and challenge other broadband providers to answer why they advertise and sell fixed speeds, but never communicate WiFi speeds (unless lost in T&amp;Cs), which are always slower than wired.&nbsp;
Commenting on his new role, Miniminter said: &ldquo;As a gamer and content creator, a fast and reliable internet connection is vital to the work I do. For others, a connection is essential for booking GP appointments online or staying connected with family and friends.&nbsp;&nbsp;
When it comes to selecting broadband, we hear a lot of words such as Superfast this, or Gigafast that &ndash; but what does it all mean? That is why I am ecstatic to be collaborating with Community Fibre, to help Londoners to better understand their broadband speeds, so they can find out if they are being bamboozled by their broadband provider or not.&rdquo;&nbsp;

<h2>How to find out your broadband speed&nbsp;</h2>
To put your broadband speed to the test and find out if you are getting the best speeds at the best value, Community Fibre has launched its own test at <a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/speedtest">communityfibre.co.uk/SpeedTest</a>.&nbsp;
Once there, Community Fibre has all the information you need to better understand broadband speeds, such as the difference between Download and Upload speed, information about Ping and Jitter, as well as advice on how to improve your broadband speeds and ensure you receive fibre all the way into the home.&nbsp;
<h2>Miniminter&rsquo;s 8-step guide to improving WiFi speeds at home&nbsp;</h2>
<ol>
<li>Locate your router in a central position that&rsquo;s not hidden behind your TV or furniture, and keep it upright so that its WiFi signal goes upwards and outwards&nbsp;</li>
<li>Don&rsquo;t put the router on the ground otherwise the signal goes into the floor &ndash; best to wall mount it or put it in a raised position where it won&rsquo;t get nudged or damaged&nbsp;</li>
<li>Avoid placing your router near a window; you&rsquo;ll &lsquo;waste&rsquo; signal by broadcasting to the outside&nbsp;</li>
<li>The more walls, and the thicker they are especially brick ones, the more WiFi signal will struggle to get through, so keep this in mind&nbsp;</li>
<li>Avoid placing your router near devices that emit interference i.e. microwave cookers or wireless speakers&nbsp;</li>
<li>Fluids are WiFi blockers, so don&rsquo;t hide your router behind a fish tank or wine rack&nbsp;</li>
<li>Broadband WiFi speed is shared, so disconnect devices you don&rsquo;t need from the router&nbsp;</li>
<li>If top speed is your priority, always go wired rather than WiFi and if you need extra ports to connect more devices directly into your router Amazon and others sell a range of cheap but effective port extenders &nbsp; </li>
</ol>
<a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/">Community Fibre</a> has recently launched London&rsquo;s lowest-priced 1,000 Mbps broadband package at just &pound;25/month for a 24-month contract.&nbsp;
Not only is Community Fibre&rsquo;s 1,000 Mbps broadband more than 18x faster₅ than the UK average download speed, it is also much cheaper than what the average London consumer pays for their broadband. Over 24 months, Community Fibre&rsquo;s 1,000 Mbps is &pound;887 cheaper than Virgin, &pound;774 cheaper than BT and &pound;770 cheaper than Sky₆.
How fast is 1,000 Mbps? Well, if you&rsquo;re a gamer, downloading a 30.88G FIFA game will only take you 4 minutes and 7 seconds. Deals are available from <a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/">CommunityFibre.co.uk</a> from now until 1st November.&nbsp;

<h4>September 29th 2022, London, Islington: <a href="https://www.islington.gov.uk/">Islington Council</a> has partnered with <a href="https://www.communityfibre.co.uk/">Community Fibre</a> to roll out London&rsquo;s largest and fastest 100% full fibre broadband across the borough. The new network build is as part of a custom-built installation that will provide thousands of residents, businesses, and communities with London&rsquo;s largest and fastest broadband at the best value on the market.&nbsp;</h4>
Unlike most providers, Community Fibre builds, operates and owns its dedicated 100% full fibre network with the most advanced technology available. Therefore, it does not rely on BT Openreach&rsquo;s or any other provider&rsquo;s cables to deliver fast and reliable 100% full fibre broadband directly into individual properties.&nbsp;
Planning surveys have already begun in the area of St. Mary&rsquo;s, where residents are set to reap the benefits of full fibre broadband at the most affordable cost. Over the next three years, Community Fibre will roll out its fibre broadband in partnership with Islington Council to deliver its network to 36,000 properties across the borough.&nbsp;
The build follows Community Fibre&rsquo;s announcement that it is on track to double its network target in London and will pass 2.2 million homes and businesses by the end of 2024. As the broadband provider accelerates across the capital, the ISP will aim to serve more than half of the 3.7 million homes in the city.&nbsp;
Cllr Una O&rsquo;Halloran, Executive Member for Homes and Communities, said: &ldquo;Fast, reliable internet is essential in our increasingly digital world and better broadband for council homes is an important part of our work to make Islington a more equal borough&nbsp;
<blockquote>
&ldquo;We are bringing the benefit of superfast broadband to people living on our estates and in our council homes. We are also pleased that these broadband partnerships will create apprenticeships and job opportunities in the borough.&rdquo;&nbsp;
</blockquote>
Graeme Oxby, CEO of Community Fibre, added: &ldquo;At Community Fibre, we believe that everyone should have access to the best internet to ensure growth and greater opportunities for all. Closing the digital divide is our priority. Therefore, we are focused on accelerating our full fibre rollout to facilitate better internet for everyone supported by our Community Investments and Digital Ambassadors programme.&nbsp;&nbsp;
<blockquote>
"We are pleased to be working with Islington Council to bring London&rsquo;s fastest internet to its residents at the best prices, which has held a 4.9 &lsquo;Excellent&rsquo; Trust Pilot score and 96% 5-star reviews (September) for the past three years.&rdquo; &nbsp;
</blockquote>
Community Fibre&rsquo;s mission is to deliver 100% full fibre broadband to all of the London communities it serves, helping to provide residents with opportunities for education, training, employment, social inclusion, and community projects. It works closely with landlords, councils, and housing associations to deliver connectivity to those who need it most, offering the best value and highest broadband speeds in London.&nbsp;
Once works are complete, thousands of Islington residents can choose to sign up for faster internet speeds offered at varied price packages depending on the provider. This includes wired speeds up to 3,000 Mbps (400 - 650 Mbps over WiFi when using a WiFi 6 router), which is up to 59x faster than the UK average download speed &amp; 306x faster than the UK average upload speed₃. It also provides 100% full fibre connectivity for businesses with broadband package speeds up to 10 Gbps. Islington businesses will also be able to enjoy 100% full fibre connectivity with business broadband package speeds up to 10,000 Mbps. More information about its business packages can be found <a href="https://communityfibre.co.uk/business" rel="follow">here</a>.&nbsp;

Community Fibre is passionate about giving back to the local communities and has its own team of Digital Ambassadors who are always on hand to provide local, digital skills training workshops. To provide support and education to those who require new digital skills, Community Fibre trains members of the community to become qualified Digital Ambassadors, to digitally empower people within the community.
