It is unclear how things will proceed from then onwards, indications show that funding will still be there although it will be severly limited. It is because of this uncertainty that we urge you to register your interest now otherwise it will be too late.

What sort of speeds are available?

In short we offer a guaranteed speed of - 10 mbps all the way up to 1000 mbps. All the lines we install are uncontended so the speed advertised is the speed you get.

If you don't know what sort of speed you need, the best thing to do is to get in contact with us. The initial part of the quotes process is an informal chat to find out your requirements. There we can assess what sort of requiremenet you'll need and plan accordingly.

Below is a small list of our most sold speeds (100mbps being the most sold):

30mbps

50mbps

100mbps

1000mbps

We recomend 100mbps for most businesses as it is the right balance between speed and cost to deliver the best value to our customers.

How much does Super Fast Broadband cost?

Installation fees

The great news is that the installation costs are covered by the SuperConnected Cities Scheme!Thats right, up to £3000 for each business!! In all of our cases the £3000 covers the entire cost and not a single penny needs to be paid for the installation process.

Rental fees

There are rental charges however, and we really believe that no one currently on the market can match our prices. Due to the geograpic variation, prices do vary on a case by case basis. It is for these reasosn that we are unable to provide definitive prices on here. Please contact us for a quote and we promise you we won't be beaten.
