LightSpeed re-launches with increased broadband speed

LightSpeed has re-launched with a new visual identity, expanded product offering and symmetrical upload and broadband download speeds of up to 2,000Mbps.

Previously, the East of England-based broadband provider offered speeds of up to 1,000Mbps.

The company will now become a comprehensive digital service provider, marked with the introduction of a new bundle of home security products alongside full-fibre broadband and digital voice connectivity.

New and existing customers will have the option of upgrading to a security package which used Simplisafe systems. Additionally, customers will still have access to the digital voice range with home phone line company KIT.

LightSpeed is also expanding its network. The provider currently covers 250,000 homes and businesses in the East of England and West Midlands. Over the next three years, the company will build more than 150,000 new premises across 21 new towns, adding 38,000 residential customers and serving 47 towns, including 6,000 businesses.

There are further plans to expand LightSpeed’s offering and customer base in the coming months.

LightSpeed CEO, Brett Shepherd, said, "Our development of the LightSpeed brand this year is a game changer for our existing and future customers. Symmetrical upload and download speeds of up to 2,000Mbps, alongside an expanded offering and coverage area, means there’s never been a better time to join our growing family of satisfied customers.

"We now cover more than 250,000 homes and businesses across the East of England and West Midlands, with plans to expand to more than 400,000 by 2027.

"Broadband is just the beginning; we’re immediately offering LightSpeed customers the option of top-of-the-range home security systems. Houses with ultra-fast broadband are future-proofed, and security is a crucial consideration for a comfortable, happy home.

"And that's just the start. Our ambition is to become a one-stop shop, simplifying the management of all household digital services in one convenient place."
