Sole Trader Broadband
ADSL
This type of broadband is available to 99% of people living in the UK today. It has the lowest maximum bandwidth of the broadband technologies, at 24 Mbps, but a 24 Mbps broadband connection is still suitable for streaming, browsing the Internet, and sending emails. As you may already be aware, if your speed is below 5 Mbps on ADSL, your Internet experience may be rather slow. Use our broadband availability checker below to check your speeds.
SoGEA/FTTC/Superfast Broadband
This type of broadband is available to a high percentage of UK addresses. It’s 3 times faster than ADSL, at 80 Mbps downstream. It’s more expensive than ADSL, but web browsing is much faster, and cloud-based applications will function more smoothly.
FTTP/Ultrafast Fibre
This type of broadband uses a full fibre connection all the way from the exchange to your premises. Maximum speeds are very high (up to 1 Gbps). If you are looking for the fastest, most reliable broadband, then FTTP is for you.
Installations and Transfers
- Brand new broadband installations take 1 – 2 hours. There is a lead time of 10 days on average, so if you need broadband by a certain date, get in touch with us at least 30 days before your deadline to ensure everything is completed on time.
- It is possible to fast-track a broadband installation, but this incurs an additional cost. Sometimes, it is impossible to fast-track your order. Please ask us about fast-tracking your order if you would like this service.
- If you have broadband with another provider, we can usually transfer your existing service to ours without needing a brand new installation. You will need to change your modem/router’s authentication details when the transfer is finished in order to use our service. Help on how to do this can be found via your modem/router manufacturer’s website.
- We can provide a preconfigured router for you. You can power it on and connect your devices to it and it will automatically configure itself to work with your broadband service without any user interaction.
If Something Goes Wrong
We pride ourselves on our highly resilient broadband network, but it’s inevitable that planned maintenance or unexpected outages will occur at some point. To help our customers better understand what is happening, when, and why, we show large notices to your control panel when something has gone wrong. You can also see when something will be fixed.

Virtual Landline
When you get a virtual landline from us, you can promote a local landline number that diverts all incoming calls to your mobile (or any other telephone). Before answering, you know if the call is business-related.
76% of consumers surveyed think landline numbers are more professional than mobile numbers. Take advantage of this and improve your business’ image.
Installations and Transfers
- We can get your virtual landline set up and working within 30 minutes.
- Virtual landlines do not get installed physically, and do not come with installation fees.
- It is not possible to transfer your existing virtual landline configuration to our platform. You can recreate any configuration so long as we share the same features as your old provider.
- We currently support the porting (transferring) of geographical UK telephone numbers (01 and 02 landline numbers).
If Something Goes Wrong
Like with our broadband network, we pride ourselves on our highly resilient voice network. Virtual landlines are less affected by physical conditions than analogue phone lines, but they are reliant on your Internet access.
We always do our best to ensure your voice service never drops out for any disruptive amount of time. You can improve uptimes by upgrading your broadband connection, upgrading your network hardware, or with resiliency options.
We can be contacted 24/7 in case you need support with our virtual landline product.
