About Lightning Fibre
Written by the company
Rock Solid, Lightning Fast Award-Winning Full Fibre Broadband.
We're Lightning Fibre, a multi-award-winning, community-focused broadband network operator and internet service provider based in Eastbourne, in the South East of England.
Since 2018, we've been delivering full fibre hyperfast broadband to residential homes and businesses – with packages from 150Mbps up to 10,000Mbps (10Gbps).
⚡️Full fibre broadband from £26/month.
⚡️And with Lightning Fibre there are no mid-contract price rises!
We are a local employer with many expert installation engineers living in Hastings and neighbouring towns – and our customer services team is based in Eastbourne.
⚡️You can talk to a real person from 8 am to 8 pm every day!
Switch Smart. Switch Local.
Our Social Tariff, for households in receipt of means-tested benefits, delivers 50Mbps symmetric full fibre to your modem for just £15 per month on a rolling 30-day contract, with no set up fees and no credit checks.
What is ‘fibre’ vs ‘full fibre’?
Unlike a ‘fibre’ network, which may include slow, old copper wire, we have a ‘full fibre’ broadband network. This means our FTTP/FTTH (fibre to the premises / fibre to the home) network connects our street cabinets directly to your home modem using fibre optic cables all the way. This is why our network is both "hyper reliable and hyperfast".
Some of our national awards:
🏆Best Consumer ISP (<100k customers) ISPA Awards 2025
🏆Best Customer Experience ISPA Awards 2025
🏆2025 Broadband Provider of the Year - Connected Britain Awards.
🏆Best Consumer ISP (<100k customers) - ISPA Awards 2024
🏆Best Consumer ISP (<50k customers) ISPA Awards 2023

great installation experience with phenomenal internet speed as a result
on the day of installation we were had a little bit of trepidation, however we needn't have been concerned as the installers from your firm were very polite, efficient and respectful ane when they finished left everything in a tidy manner, we couldn't praise Matt and his colleague enough (sorry we forgot the name) the speeds we're achieving now are 4 to 5 times faster than before due to my( in talk talk speak )old laptop which was the reason for slow internet speed

Great service
Great service from start to finish. Process was quick and easy. Pre instal guys were lovely and polite. Fitter Glen was very helpful setting us up and tidied up BT’s previous install mess. Serv is much better than Sky I can FaceTime now in my garden without loosing connection. Also £10 cheaper a month for a better service. Very pleased all round.

Great price and great service
Great price and great service. If you want to get in touch with them, all you have to do is call them and someone actually answers, unlike other big providers where it is very difficult to get through to an actual human being if you have a question or issue. I prefer to support a local, independent business whenever I can.

Rob from Lightning Fibre
We had Rob come to do our installation. We opened the door to a big friendly smile. He explained what he had to do, which was easy to understand. Throughout the installation he was very professional, polite and friendly. We would recommend Rob and lighting fibre to anyone. So far the whole experience has been very positive, but even better the Internet speed is exactly what was promised and exactly what we need for our busy house. Its 5 stars from us. Thanks Rob!
