We're bringing our brand new, full fibre broadband network to 5,000 homes and businesses across Heathfield.

Important News: The Heathfield Network will be completed by Spring 2022*, connecting 5,000 homes and businesses to our hyper fast network. Sign up today! Say goodbye to rubbish broadband, at last.

Founded in 2018, Lightning Fibre is a local altnet broadband provider. The business is a network operator and ISP, meaning that we lay the fibre network and sell it directly to business and residential consumers. The full fibre network can deliver symmetric 10Gbps speeds for all and is fully future proofed. This means that better upload and download speeds and reliability can be guaranteed.

Residential customers who join the service pay from £29 per month for an unlimited symmetric speed 100Mbps package on a 24-month contract term (plus £100 one-off for the setup), which comes with a 10Gbps capable “modem” and mesh system.

This is a brand new, symmetric network that gives unrivaled upload and download speeds the likes of which you will have never experienced before. To switch your broadband at a great price, register your interest and our Community Engagement Team will get in touch.

*We will start to connect homes in the town from December 2021, with our roll out being completed by Spring.

We're a locally-based (Eastbourne) business investing in local jobs and communities, leveling up Heathfield ready for the Digital Age.

We've been delighted with the positive reaction to our news, with the support of the Heathfield Chamber of Commerce, local press including Heathfield News and Wealden Council.

“Rural areas have been held back by low broadband speeds. This fibre network investment should really speed things up – for local businesses, for everyone involved in learning whatever their age, and for our social lives. The past year has shown us how important good internet connections are for everything we do. I am very glad see that a local firm, using local employees, will be carrying out the work.”
