Introducing full fibre, 1 Gigabit broadband

Full fibre means the connection to the internet uses a single fibre optic from the telephone exchange all the way into your home or business. There are no old copper telephone lines along the way to slow things down, and we don’t use the green street cabinets. It’s a seamless, future-proofed connection capable of ultrafast speeds up to 1 Gigabit per second (or 1000 Mbps). That’s 21x faster than the UK’s average fibre connections – which use copper for the last part of the connection from a street cabinet to your home. 

It’s not just about speed.

Most of us don’t know what speed we get or what we need, it’s reliability that we all really notice, and full fibre is 5x more reliable than part-fibre broadband. It’s smooth and stable so all the important things you do online become a breeze, from homeworking and gaming to running your business or facetiming family. You can do what you want online, when you want, with as many people as you want. No drama. No bickering. No buffering. 

Building a brand new, end-to-end network from the internet and right into customers’ homes takes time but we’re working at ‘light-speed’ to get customers connected across the East of England.  

1 Gigabit per second. This is life at LightSpeed.
