Lightning Fibre, which has already rolled out Hyper Fast full-fibre broadband across North Hailsham, has now also launched its service in South Hailsham.
Community-centric local business, Lightning Fibre, operates a brand-new network for residents and businesses, starting from 150Mbps guaranteed at the modem.
The firm proudly sponsors Hailsham Festival and Hailsham Bonfire Night, and contributes seed funding to Hailsham Active, helping secure grant funding for community projects across the region.
Nusrat Ghani, MP for Wealden said: "Reliable internet access is an absolute necessity for households, schools and businesses in Wealden. Poor broadband is one of the top frustrations for local residents and I am constantly campaigning for improvements to the provision and reliability of internet across Wealden. I was pleased to learn all about this exciting new phase of the full fibre rollout for South Hailsham, and I’m pleased that local companies like Lightning Fibre are helping to build the new infrastructure needed, accelerating growth and jobs, and improving the quality of life for thousands of people in Hailsham and across Wealden and East Sussex.”
Connecting South Hailsham
Paul Thornton, Network Director, Lightning Fibre, talked through the network rollout with Nusrat, and added: "We’re delighted to connect South Hailsham, delivering Full Fibre to over 5,000 more homes and businesses.
Our brand new, full fibre network is much faster and more reliable than the outdated copper networks of the past. It’s also a greener and, in many cases, cheaper network."
Affordable and competitive
Research shows that as well as being ‘greener’, once an area has a symmetric full-fibre network, property prices and local economies are positively impacted.
Lightning Fibre is building high-quality networks across Sussex, creating hundreds of quality local jobs and delivering a high-quality service at an affordable and competitive price.
Earlier this year, the firm also launched a social tariff, offering low-cost Full Fibre broadband for households on means-tested benefits.
