Could a full fibre connection revolutionise your world?

Ever considered how an ultra-fast, full-fibre broadband connection could transform how you live, as well as breathing new life into your devices?

Imagine the whole family each streaming their own shows without buffering or interruption. Plus easier, more reliable home working from a fast, stable and reliable connection. Perhaps it’s time for a broadband comparison?

Why is fibre taking over the world

There are countless reasons. Here are just a few:

Firstly, it’s FAST!
Fibre offers much greater bandwidth than copper. In the East and West Midlands, LightSpeed’s full fibre network is delivering broadband speeds of up to 2Gbps – enough to download a Gb of data in around four seconds! For which we were crowned the UK’s fastest broadband by website broadband genie in 2023. Why not run a quick broadband speed test to see what your home’s currently getting?

It’s future proof
The technological ‘headroom’ offered by fibre, that is to say the speeds it is capable of offering in the future, means that it won’t need expensive and disruptive upgrades. And speaking of the future, with LightSpeed you can plan it with more certainty thanks to no mid-contract price increases!

It’s more reliable, and over greater distance
Fibre networks convert data into light. This makes their signal loss much lower than copper. Signals can travel much greater distances without the need for amplifiers.

It’s extremely secure, and very robust.
Unlike copper, fibre doesn’t emit any signals outside its casing. So it’s far more difficult to tap. Plus it cannot conduct electricity, making it impervious to electromagnetic or radio-frequency interference. It’s also far more resistant to the extreme weather we’re increasingly battered by here in the UK. However, if you do find yourself in need of assistance, LightSpeed’s friendly local customer service are always happy to help.

How fibre is reshaping our world

It’s creating new opportunities
From education and healthcare to improving work-life balance, full fibre broadband is opening doors and changing lives. Schools and colleges are looking for the best broadband provider to help them offer more flexible and accessible support for a wider variety of educational needs and services. While telehealth capability can be broadened, thanks to full fibre’s increased bandwidth.

It's helping businesses serve their customers
Full fibre helps businesses streamline their operations and offer better services to their customers. Faster cloud connections are unlocking multiple benefits, including fast, frictionless online transactions and better customer experiences.

It’s enhancing voice connections
While full fibre broadband is more closely associated with cutting edge devices like 8K TVs and the latest gaming tech, it can also support fixed line telephone services. By carrying data more efficiently and with lower interference, call clarity and quality are vastly improved.

It’s supporting the connected home
From monitored home security and emergency home alert alarms, to intelligent, energy-efficient appliances, fast, reliable, and stable connections are essential for the delivery of connected home services.

It's creating a lower carbon future
A key advantage of fibre is that is uses around 30% less energy to transmit signals than copper. Fibre optic cables have far lower resistance than copper cables, and therefore generate less heat, needing less energy to cool them.
