Had 2 happy years using SWS until, sadly, we began to lose the signal. This company was very kind in providing an effective substitute until we eventually found one which worked for us. Many thanks.

Company details
Written by the company
SWS Broadband (Secure Web Services) has been delivering reliable broadband to homes and businesses in Shropshire and Wales since 2005. Now part of the Rural Broadband Solutions PLC Group, our mission continues to be to provide high-speed broadband services within rural communities comparable to cities, using leading-edge technologies to future-proof homes and businesses. SWS Broadband offers Wireless Broadband packages for deep rural areas utilising its fixed wireless access (FWA) network. Connections of 30Mbps+ are delivered over low power, line-of-sight radio. One of its advantages is that you don’t even need a telephone line to use it. SWS Broadband is currently rolling out new Fibre Broadband which allows you to choose from packages with speeds from 30Mbps to 900Mbps. All SWS Broadband connections support VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone services for home and business, which is a very cost-effective alternative to a standard telephone service. You can save on line rental and call costs while keeping your existing phone number(s).

Unreliable
I live in the Shropshire Hills down in valley and have been using SWS for the past 8 years. Its shocking. Not reliable and ridiculous for the price I pay. I feel that as a lot of us cannot get any other broadband SWS take advantage of this and charge I hefty price for considerably poor WIFI.

We have constant buffering on our service and are very disappointed that putting in our postcode sends us to confirm order for fibre broadband. Excellent - but apparently this will never happen. Now they have been taken over by Voneus in September 2023 but only now have we had this officially and the new terms and conditions. You know what let’s go and get Starlink, at least we’ll be in the 21st century and not not levelled up as seems to be the case with rural providers
I found my Broadband was disconnected
I found my Broadband was disconnected. After trying the usual - disconnect for a few moments etc. - no result. I phoned in, was quickly connected to someone with such patience with my inexperience who guided me through to reconnection. Thank you.
Brilliant service today
Brilliant service today. We were dealt very patiently as an elderly couple today, one deaf and the other very un-technical and managed to restore our Broadband.
Excellent service as usual. So good to be able to talk to a person. Much appreciated .
Your good reputation precedes you
Your good reputation precedes you. I run a small architectural practice to which keeping up with modern technology to satisfy clients needs in the 'Broadband' world can be daunting!! Ben (Scott) was amazing in helping me into the right direction. Excellent, prompt and articular communicator. Well done and thank you!

Simply phenomenal
A truly wonderful experience. Customer service is second to none. When you call you speak to a local human being who empathises and understands. They are not scripted and respond to your needs. I've not had customer service Luke this anywhere else.
As for the product. They are the only company that was willing to drag us out o the internet dark ages of 3mb and guarenteed us a standard service at that time of 30mbps. They have worked tirelessly despite hurdles being thrown at them and are now delivering me a speed of 800mbps. Absolutely phenomenal company run by amazing people wanting to make a real difference to people's lives. Thank you so much.
