Lightning Fibre
Lightning Fibre is the local full fibre broadband network for East Sussex. The team are proud to support local charities and good causes, so when you buy from them, your community benefits too.
Unlike a ‘fibre’ network, which may include old copper wire, Lightning Fibre is undertaking a major infrastructure upgrade in towns including Eastbourne, Hastings, Hailsham, St Leonard's, Heathfield and Broad Oak to lay a brand new ‘full fibre’ broadband network. This network connects their street cabinets directly to your modem using fibre optic cables all the way. This is why their network is both hyper reliable and hyper fast.
There's fast, really fast, and then there's Lightning Fibre Fast!
Lightning Fibre have a responsive, local customer service team based in Polegate.
