Braintree, the future of broadband is here!

We are thrilled to announce that more than 19,000 properties in Braintree will soon be able to connect to its full fibre network and access Gigabit broadband, twenty-five times faster than the average speeds currently available in the area and five times more reliable than standard fibre broadband. 

We started the rollout of our fibre network in Braintree, along with nine other towns across Essex, last year. Additional homes and businesses in the area, including the neighbouring towns of Witham and Maldon, will soon be added to our full fibre network as we expand across the East of England in the coming months. 

With super smooth symmetrical upload and download speeds of 1 Gigabit (1000 Mbps) per second, working from home, streaming online entertainment, real-time gaming, uploading large files, and video calling can all take place at the same time regardless of how many devices are connected at once with no buffering, lag or dropouts.  

Chris Holkham, Delivery Director at LightSpeed Broadband said: “We are thrilled that customers in Braintree can now connect to our full fibre network and experience the benefits of the latest digital Gigabit broadband. As a regionally based internet service provider, we are very proud of how our service has been received and the opportunities this digital connectivity will bring to residents, businesses and the wider economy across the East of England.  

Residents are encouraged to register to be the first to hear when their home or business can access the network.” 

Our packages start from £24.95 per month for a 24-month contract* including a Nokia engineered Wi-Fi 6 LightSpeed Hub. There is a £30 one-off home setup fee, and optional Nokia Wi-Fi 6 Beacons are £80 each.  Once your order is placed, you can expect to be connected within 10 days. For more information, click here.
