Lightning Fibre, who have already rolled out Hyper Fast full fibre broadband across North Hailsham, have now also launched their service in South Hailsham. 

Community-centric local business, Lightning Fibre, operates a brand new network for residents and businesses, starting from 150Mbps guaranteed at the modem. The firm proudly sponsors Hailsham Festival and Hailsham Bonfire Night, and contributes seed funding to Hailsham Active, helping secure grant funding for community projects across the region. 

Nusrat Ghani, MP for Wealden said, Reliable internet access is an absolute necessity for households,schools and businesses in Wealden. Poor broadband is one of the top frustrations for local residents and I am constantly campaigning for improvements to the provision and reliability of internet across Wealden. I was pleased to learn all about this exciting new phase of the full fibre roll out for South Hailsham, and I’m pleased that local companies like Lightning Fibre are helping to build the new infrastructure needed, accelerating growth and jobs, and improving the quality of life for thousands of people in Hailsham and across Wealden and East Sussex.”

Our brand new,full fibre network is much faster and more reliable than the out-dated copper networks of the past; it’s also a greener and, in many cases, cheaper network.”
