Lightning Fibre Connect First FTTP Broadband Customer in Worthing

Eastbourne-based alternative network and UK ISP Lightning Fibre has announced that they’ve just connected their first customer in the seaside town of Worthing (West Sussex) to FTTP broadband. This is part of their recently agreed expansion (here) to harness CityFibre’s existing network across the Brighton & Hove and Worthing areas.

The operator has also built their own full fibre network across a number of locations like Eastbourne, Hastings, Hailsham, St Leonard’s, Heathfield and more. But Lightning Fibre’s own build has recently slowed down “considerably” and they’ve had to make redundancies after a turbulent year (here). The focus now is thus more on growing take-up within their existing areas of coverage, while also expanding via some of CityFibre’s areas.

NOTE: Lightning Fibre was acquired by existing backer Foresight Group earlier this year and put under a new company called LF Holdco2 Ltd. The same group also backs other altnets, such as Connect Fibre and F&W Networks.

Lightning Fibre’s Consumer packages (including social tariff) in their CityFibre based areas will remain broadly the same (price etc.) as their current plans. Prices for the service start at £26 per month for their 150Mbps package on a 24-month term and rise to £39 for their 1Gbps tier. The provider also offers a 2Gbps+ package for £99, but this is currently only available to their own-build areas and not via CityFibre.

In a separate development, the ISP has revealed that one of their customers just won a full year of free broadband service (as well as a special food hamper) after successfully referring 12 new customers to the provider via their ‘Refer a Friend‘ scheme.
