Altnet Broadband ISP Lightning Fibre Launches UK Black Friday SALE

Eastbourne-based broadband ISP Lightning Fibre, which is building a new multi-gigabit speed full fibre (FTTP) broadband network across parts of Sussex and Kent in England (they also hold a partnership to harness CityFibre’s network around the South Coast – here), has today launched a range of early Black Friday sales on their packages.

Customers covered by the service can now take their entry-level 150Mbps (symmetric speed) package for just £22 per month (reduced from £26) on a 24-month term, while 300Mbps has been reduced to £24 (£28), 500Mbps is now just £26 (£32), 900Mbps is £29 (£36) and their top 2000Mbps package has been slashed to just £35 (£44). All of these include free setup, unlimited data and a wireless router (you get a higher end device on their 900Mbps+ plans).

The company also offers an accessible Social Tariff for households in receipt of means tested benefits and pension credits, providing 50Mbps upload and download, guaranteed at the modem, for £15 per month on a rolling 30-day agreement with no credit checks.

The provider’s Chief Commercial Officer (CCO), Rob Reaks, said: “Our Winter Sale is the perfect time for new customers to switch and for existing ones to upgrade at a fantastic price. It runs from 1st November until 31st December.”

The same announcement notes that their sale “coincides with a significant network expansion” via their wholesale agreement with CityFibre, although for some reason they don’t mention precisely what this network expansion covers. The original partnership merely announced expanded coverage across additional premises in Polegate, Eastbourne and Hastings.
