- How much is it?
One of the misconceptions is that superfast broadband will cost you a lot more, lots of people are able to benefit from the faster speeds without paying more, and in some cases end up paying less.
We have teamed up with Ofcom accredited, price comparison experts Cable to help guide you through the potential minefield of broadband suppliers and latest offers out there. Use the price checker to see just how little it might cost you, if it costs you at all!
- How do I upgrade?
The higher speeds will not happen automatically. To benefit you need to contact an internet service provider of your choice.
Services in Widdrington have be provided via a technology known as ‘fibre to the cabinet’. (Further details about this technology is available on our Frequently Asked Questions page).
