Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme

What is a Gigabit Connection?

The UK now has 95% coverage for superfast broadband with speeds of 24 megabits per second or higher. However, most superfast connections still depend on copper telephone wires, which are limited in the speeds they can support. For the fastest and most reliable broadband, capable of delivering gigabit speeds, a full fibre ethernet connection is required. Our gigabit services are the same as 1,000 megabits – so it’s a big leap forward in connection speeds that could benefit your business and the economy into the future. Full fibre ethernet also supports symmetrical connections – meaning your upload and download speeds can be the same.
