What is Broadband?

Broadband represents the physical link from the exchange to your property. Wi-Fi, on the other hand, establishes a wireless connection between your Wi-Fi router and your devices—be it your phone, laptop, smart TV, or gaming system.
There are two methods for managing your home connection:
Hard Wired: This method ensures a direct connection to your broadband supply by connecting your device to the router using an ethernet cable. This provides the fastest and most stable connection available, and we assure these hardwired speeds.
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity): This technology enables connection to the physical broadband link without any cables. It allows multiple device connections throughout your house. However, Wi-Fi speeds are typically slower than wired connections and can be affected by obstacles like walls, doors, floors, and even radiators within your home. As each home environment varies, we cannot guarantee Wi-Fi speeds.

For optimum speed you should connect with a LAN Cable, CAT6 under 30M range from the router

What affects my Wi-Fi speed?

Various factors can affect Wi-Fi speed such as a fridge, microwave and even the building materials used between walls. (new homes now tend to be built with aluminium foil back installation foam which can act as a reflector)
Also any Wi-Fi emitting devices such as a Sky Q box Please note – Sky Q box is recommended by Sky to be hard-wired using an Ethernet cable
Please note- Please be aware that your device must be compatible with high-speed internet. For instance, an older laptop from 15 years ago lacks the technology required to fully utilize modern high-speed internet

Difference between Broadband and Wi-Fi?

Broadband establishes the physical link extending from the exchange to your premises, while Wi-Fi represents the wireless connectivity that emanates from your Wi-Fi router to various devices such as smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, or gaming systems
