What is Project Gigabit?

Project Gigabit is the UK government’s rollout of fast, reliable broadband across the UK. The programme focuses on homes and businesses that aren’t currently part of broadband providers’ plans, bringing digital connectivity to areas of the UK that might otherwise be left behind.

Building Digital UK (BDUK) is an executive agency of the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).

FAQs

Full fibre or Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) only uses fibre optic cables to deliver broadband, allowing speeds in excess of 1000 Mbps.

Other providers tend to use Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC). That means the faster fibre optic cables only go to a box on the street. Older, slower copper cables then take the connection the rest of the way.

ADSL technology only uses older Victorian copper cables.

Founded in 2019, we're a community-minded full fibre network operator and broadband provider, on a mission to bring fast, reliable, and affordable full fibre broadband technology to the communities that need it. 

Supporting local communities is high on our agenda, prioritising local recruitment, and investing in community and charity groups at a hyper-local level.

Register your interest and we’ll keep you posted with updates on how our build is progressing.

We are licenced by the telecoms regulator Ofcom which allows us to re-use where possible existing ducts and telegraph poles to install our full fibre network.

Only when this isn't possible will we carry out fresh construction work, where we work closely with local agencies to minimise any disruption and to ensure all work is carried out safely.

Work has already begun, and our team is fully committed to getting you connected as quickly as possible.

 

The first premises are expected to be connected in 2025. Register your interest and we’ll keep you updated with build developments and timings.

It is amazingly easy and simple to install Connect Fibre in your home or business. In most cases our friendly engineers will have you connected to your new full fibre broadband and Wi-Fi 6 service within 1-2 hours of their arrival at your property.

Our Installation Guide covers our installation process in more detail.

We recommend that you follow our social pages where there will be regular updates on the progress of our network. In addition, if you are registered with us you will be the first in line for updated via email and SMS.

We believe in treating every customer fairly. Unlike other providers we don't believe in mid-contract price rises - once you've chosen one of our amazing packages your price won't change during your contract term.

We also don't believe in loyalty taxes - once your contract terms end you can choose from the same deals available to new customers.

Unlike other providers who quote speeds as "Up To" or "Average" because we connect all our customers via the latest full fibre technology, we can guarantee our speeds. For our packages <500Mbps our guarantees are equal to the maximum speed of the line.

For our top Hypersonic 1000Mbps package we only guarantee 900Mbps (that's still very, very fast!) - not because we can't deliver 1000Mbps, but because it is hard to achieve speeds faster than this without expensive network equipment that few customers have.
