Our Story

We believe that everyone should be connected.

Lightning Fibre has invested millions, since 2018, to upgrade and future-proof the UK’s broadband infrastructure from copper to full fibre in parts of Sussex and Kent.

This implementation of direct fibre to the premises (FTTP) means that your business, or your clients’ businesses, are not impacted by the legacy copper infrastructure that is not fit for modern enterprise and consumers in the digital age. Read more about our technical network infrastructure.

As well as offering our own full fibre network for businesses and residential consumers, we also wholesale the City Fibre business network nationally, delivered primarily through a network of trusted Managed IT Service Partners.

Our dedicated technical and customer support teams available 7 days a week from 8 am to 8 pm.

Further networks will be added to the Lightning Fibre Business ISP offering, providing further geographical coverage.

“Decent broadband is essential for our modern demands; at work, school and at home. I am particularly impressed by Lightning Fibre’s early adoption of a ‘social tariff’, helping people on means-tested benefits access this brand new technology.

The company has already achieved huge respect for the amount of community support it gives, and I am delighted to support them in marking another local milestone with the launch of full fibre for Hampden Park.”

“Reliable internet access is an absolute necessity for households, schools and businesses in Wealden.

I was pleased to learn all about this exciting new phase of the full fibre roll out for 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.”
