Next-generation broadband

New providers are building faster, more reliable broadband across the country, offering a local full fibre connection for much lower prices. These are known as 'altnets', and they’re offering a huge upgrade to households in their network.

Full fibre explained

Full fibre broadband uses fibre-optic cables to deliver faster, more reliable internet straight to your door. Unlike other part-fibre connections, it doesn’t rely on old copper phone lines. So you’re less likely to suffer slow speeds or internet outages.

It’s not available everywhere yet, but it’s gradually rolling out across the country and it's available through dozens of altnets. Find out if it's available in your area by searching your address in the checker above.

Getting you connected

Getting full fibre is often simple and hassle-free. You'll get to choose a suitable date for an engineer to visit your home, and they'll likely only need a couple of hours to set you up.

You can discuss with them the best place to lay the fibre cable on your property, and many installations can now be done via a telegraph pole - just like your phone line. So you won't have to wait long to enjoy your new ultrafast broadband speeds.
