Specialist broadband company LilaConnect is switching on its gigabit full fibre networks making it accessible to even more properties in Leek and across Stoke-on-Trent.
Over the next twelve weeks more than 6,900 homes and businesses across Leek, as well as Etruria, Cliffe Vale and Shelton in Stoke-on-Trent, will be able to connect to LilaConnect’s gigabit full–fibre broadband.
This is further proof of LilaConnect’s commitment to ensuring those residing and living in Staffordshire have access to one of the fastest, most reliable internet connections anywhere in the UK.
Unlike other regular broadband connections, or ADSL, that use copper wires to transmit data, LilaConnect uses a gigabit full-fibre network. This offers unmatched internet speeds thanks to its Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) set-up.
As a result, LilaConnect’s full fibre solution provides greater stability reducing the chance of a dropped connection. Customers don’t just see the benefits when downloading – with a fibre connection, information uploads just as fast as it downloads. Greater bandwidth means more data can be transmitted simultaneously, so they can enjoy download speeds up to 15x* faster than regular internet.
Added to this, low latency internet is more likely with fibre optic broadband – which ensures that it is ideal for making online calls, online meetings or gaming online. While fibre optic latency is low, bandwidth is high, meaning fibre optic internet is suited for applications that require high-bandwidth, such as streaming video or downloading large files.
It doesn’t end there. LilaConnect’s Fibre optic internet has less interference in instances of disruption, such as peak usage times. It also offers security for customers as the cables are much more secure. This makes FTTP superior in cases for activities such as online banking, online shopping, private emails, or cloud storage. Not only is the service performance exceptional but the pricing of service options from 250Mbps up to 1 Gigabit is extraordinarily competitive*.
Jan Lange, Managing Director at LilaConnect explained: “We are proud to be switching on the new LilaConnect gigabit full fibre network across additional premises in both Leek and Stoke-on-Trent. It will enable more businesses and residents in Staffordshire to take advantage of the best-in-class full-fibre internet connectivity, ensuring they can access a broadband service that’s not only lightning-fast, but stable, secure, and reliable. These are all essential features that help businesses to flourish and residents to thrive in today’s digital age.”
He added: “This is the next step in our investment into the Staffordshire area. It’s a big leap forward in our progress to ensure that the whole region can benefit from first-class connectivity that is future-proofed for the decades to come.”
