Why we work with Lightning Fibre

Southern IT is a specialist IT support company for businesses in the South East.

They provide a range of services including Office 365, Managed Technology Services, Cyber Security and Cloud Hosted Telecoms.


The team at Southern IT has been recommending Lightning Fibre broadband as part of its service portfolio for a number of years.

“We always advise our clients to use a Lightning Fibre connection because we know we can trust the speed and technical performance of the network, along with rapid response times if any questions arise.

Importantly, there is a direct line of communication with Joe Brownell at Lightning Fibre - and that genuine personal touch and high level of customer service is really rare in this industry.

Our collaboration means that we have gained greater flexibility - avoiding the delays and limitations of Openreach – which really impresses our clients, ranging from pubs and shopping centres to multi-tenant office buildings.

At Pacific House in Sussex, which has office space across three floors, Lightning Fibre installed a 2Gbps line. We support each business when they want to connect – it is perfect for high bandwidth tenants like a film production company!

Our experience with Lightning Fibre has been overwhelmingly positive – it has transformed the way we deliver connectivity to our clients. We highly recommend them to other Managed IT Service Providers.”
