Lightning Fibre broadband: speeds, areas and how to get it

Lightning Fibre suits homes in East Sussex and Kent towns that want full fibre. Full fibre means a fibre cable runs all the way into your home.

Its speeds run from 150Mb to 2.5Gb, with the same speed up and down. A lighter household may be happy with 150Mb. A busy home with many devices may want 1Gb or 2.5Gb.

Every plan includes a free install, a Wi-Fi router and unlimited data. You do not need a landline. Those extras suit people who want less to set up.

If you live outside its towns, it cannot serve you. Check your postcode on its site, then see full fibre deals to compare.

Lightning Fibre runs its own full fibre network in towns across East Sussex and Kent. Full fibre means a fibre cable runs all the way into your home.

Its stated areas are Eastbourne & Polegate, Hastings & St Leonards, Hailsham, Heathfield & Broad Oak and Tenterden. It sells broadband only where its network reaches, so check your postcode on its site before you compare.

Plans run at 150Mbps, 300Mbps, 1Gbps and 2.5Gbps, with the same speed up and down. The speed you actually get depends on your address, your router and your Wi-Fi.

To see if it beats the rest, compare that price with national deals in our cheapest broadband table. We rank deals by real cost, which averages every monthly price and stated rise over the contract. Each table shows when its prices were last checked.
