- Installation in as little as 1 week
FTTP
- Fibre To The Premise - Typically costing £34-£55+Vat per month
- Uses a fibre connection all the way to your property offering blistering speeds compared to FTTC

additional things to consider
Type of Router
The type of router you need will depend on the type of broadband you opt for. This is not just down to the ‘type of hole’ you need to plug in to but also the ability to process the data throughput to maximise your use of your super-fast connection. No point getting 1000mbps connection and having a router that struggles above 400mbps.
Your Location
The reason we check with so many different service providers on your behalf is because the location of your office will impact who can provide you the best connection. For example, GPON networks are still in limited locations and so knowing who covers what areas, allows us to find providers and solutions for you that others would commonly miss.
Each Systems Weakness
Each of the above styles of connections have their benefits but like many things, they also have their weaknesses. For example, 5G broadband looks like a great contender for most with reasonably low monthly costs and quick installation times. The available throughput will however vary depending on how congested the area is. For example, do a speed test on 5G at 6pm in the city centre and your speeds will likely be up to 10 times what they would be if you do the same test at 10 am once the offices are full of other 5G mobile users.
We promise to look after you for the full term of your service, not just until it is installed.
