Unlike most providers, we build, own and operate our dedicated 100% full fibre network with the most advanced technology available. So we don't have to rely on Openreach's or anyone else's cables.
Broadband is delivered directly into your home using only fibre optic cable (FTTH).
Most broadband providers still use a combination of fibre optic cable and the old copper phone wires to reach homes with what they sneakily call 'fibre broadband'. Fibre optic cable runs from the data centre to the street cabinet (FTTC). But from there broadband is delivered via the old copper phone wires into the home.
More speed means you can connect more devices at the same time without compromising quality.
1 Gbps is equal to 1,000 Mbps. That’s 20x faster than 50 Mbps, and therefore has much more speed to share across multiple users.
A higher speed connection will naturally give you a faster WiFi connection. However, top WiFi speeds are dependent on and can be affected by many things. The age of your device and the technology it utilises, where your router is positioned, interference from thick walls or other technology in your home etc.
For example, an 8-year-old Playstation 4 can reach WiFi speeds up to 450 Mbps. Whereas its’ 1-year-old upgrade, Playstation 5 utilises WiFi 6 which has the ability to utilise theoretical speeds up to 1.2 Gbps on 5 GHz WiFi, though many factors will affect your actual top speeds.

Never. Unlike many other broadband providers, our custom-built network has so much capacity that we never need to restrict our customers’ speeds, even at peak times.
Our advertised speeds are for a single wired (Ethernet) connection plugged into our router. Your WiFi connection may be affected by interference from other devices and the position of your router resulting in slower speeds. Your speed will be divided and shared between all your connected devices, so it’s best to have a higher speed for multi-user households.
We offer five different speeds:
