25 years after consumer broadband was rolled out in the UK, we’re ushering in a new era of connectivity.
From the dark days of dial-up to present-day full fibre, broadband has changed the way we work, relax and connect with each other. 25 years after we welcomed broadband into our homes, it continues to shape our lives.
We’re giving more people access to strong and stable full fibre, because broadband’s future is fast, affordable, and for all.
The evolution of broadband
The Wifi revolution
The birth of wireless broadband kickstarted a new internet era, replacing dial-up, embracing laptops and unlocking digital potential.
Copper connections transformed speeds we could expect, but many of those networks are still with us all these years later. Now with the roll out of full fibre broadband we can achieve Gigabit speeds – something people wouldn't have believed back in 2000!
The smartphone takeover
Smartphones put the internet in our pockets, changing everything. From streaming and scrolling to staying in touch with loved ones - connectivity became an essential part of daily life.
In 2015 the average household had 3 connected devices – copper broadband sufficed. However, now the average UK household has more than 13+ connected devices.
LightSpeed’s award-winning network has the power to provide rapid, rock-solid broadband to multiple devices at once – keeping you connected when it matters most.
The WFH era
Broadband has transformed the way we work and play, allowing us to achieve more and enjoy more from the comfort of our homes. Fast, reliable speeds and a super strong connection are now a necessity, not just a nice-to-have.
Old fashioned copper connections just can’t keep up. Whether you’re gaming, video calling or streaming, full fibre broadband lets you feel the full benefits of the latest tech (like smart home security) with ultra-fast, uninterrupted ultra reliable broadband performance. No buffering, no dropouts, no lag.
The future of broadband
From next-level smart tech to AI-powered assistants, we need future-ready broadband that can keep up with the modern world’s fast pace of progress.
