Lightning Fibre Expands Full Fibre Broadband to 2,500 More Properties

‍

Around 2,500 more properties across East Sussex & Kent are now ready to connect to Lightning Fibre, giving more residents the chance to choose our full fibre broadband.

This latest network expansion covers homes in St Leonards, Hastings, Eastbourne, Hailsham and Tenterden, with many of the newly available properties being apartments and flats.

So, if you’ve checked your address before and found that Lightning Fibre wasn’t available, now is a great time to check your postcode again. We might be able to help you!

‍

£19 broadband and cashback offers

If your address is now available, we currently have some amazing Black Friday early access offers. Our 1Gbps and 2.5Gbps residential packages are currently £19 a month for the first six months, while selected packages can also qualify for cashback. *

Still tied into a contract with your current provider? You can plan ahead too!

Place your Lightning Fibre order by the end of November 2026 and you can book an installation date up to the end of January 2027, subject to appointment availability. This means you can secure the current deal and arrange your switch around the end of your existing contract.

*New residential customers only. 24-month contracts. T&Cs apply.
