This private investment from a local East Sussex company helps us meet that commitment. I am very pleased that Stone Cross now has access to hyper fast full fibre broadband.”
Local download speeds, delivered over the outdated copper wires, previously achieved average speeds of just 30-40 Mbps; this new technology delivers guaranteed download speeds of 150Mbps or more at the modem.As a symmetric network, the upload speeds are also at least 150Mbps, even in busy households using a number of devices simultaneously.
With households under financial pressure from the rising cost of living, Lightning Fibre has launched a special tariff; Fibre50, a 50Mbps symmetric residential package for households on means tested benefits, for just £15 per month with a rolling 30 day agreement. Whilst 150Mbps over 24mths is priced at £24, the firm has also just launched a multi-gig (2.5Gbps) residential service for £99 pcm, plus set up fee for those with high bandwidth requirements.
As the network rolls out, people are invited to register their interest online at www.LightningFibre.co.uk. Once an area is connected, customers simply switch online or call 01323 380260.
