Salisbury goes ultrafast with Giganet full-fibre broadband

Updated October 2020 – Updated Activation Cost

We’re excited to announce the launch of our full-fibre broadband services in Salisbury. Giganet Salisbury is a collaboration between us and Openreach, who have installed the fibre infrastructure across the city. Giganet are the only local independent provider who have direct access to the new full-fibre ultrafast broadband network, and so we can offer the best prices and support.

Salisbury is one of the first cities in the UK to go completely full-fibre and leave behind the Victorian-era copper telephone network that was never designed for today’s Internet usage. As part of Openreach’s infrastructure, up to 20,000 homes and business in the city will be able to receive up to 1Gb/s speeds, with Giganet able to provide the top 1Gb/s services. The full-fibre technology is future-proofed and able to scale beyond 1 Gigabit per second in the years to come. Our prices in Salisbury start at just £29.99 per month for a full-fibre connection with no line rental required.

Salisbury’s citywide full-fibre roll-out was completed at the end of March 2020. Giganet are now accepting orders via the our website for homes and businesses to access the exclusive full-fibre only broadband network. Residents and businesses alike can search their postcode and select the service best suited to their needs and budgets, all the way up to the ultimate full 1Gb/s package for just £55 per month¹.

Not only is Giganet Salisbury the only local ISP to offer home and business broadband services, but the prices put Giganet as the most competitive full-fibre ISP in Salisbury over even the largest national providers².
