If you’ve not had Full Fibre at your property before, an engineer will need to visit. Installation will then take around three hours. If you already have Full Fibre at your property with another provider, we can switch you to UW remotely.
In certain areas only Full Fibre is available. If Full Fibre isn’t available at a property just yet, existing copper-based connections such as Standard, Ultra and Ultra Plus are still available with UW. These same options will be available to anyone signing up for a new contract, switching or upgrading.
No – there won’t be any interruption to your service.
If you've not had Full Fibre before then an engineer will need to install special equipment / a new modem.
Full Fibre is a data-only product and doesn’t carry calls by itself. If you use an alarm or medical dialer that’s reliant on a phone line, it won’t work with this service, so you’ll have to keep your existing phone line.
