What speeds are available and what are the benefits of fibre?
Connect offers a range of speeds from 50 Mbps to 1 Gbps. The benefits of fibre include faster internet, greater reliability, and future-proofing your connection to handle increasing data demands.

Our construction process is designed to minimize disruption to your property. Any necessary work will be communicated in advance, and we will work with property owners to ensure the safety and security of their property.
