LightSpeed broadband speeds

LightSpeed offer four broadband speed choices, including ultrafast, gigabit, and multi-gigabit options.

All of LightSpeed's broadband plans offer symmetrical upload speeds which are as fast as the headline download speed.

Customers can choose from:

Advertised average download speeds must be received by at least 50% of a provider's customer base during the busiest times of 8pm to 10pm in the evening. So, these headline speeds are a reliable indication of the speed a customer will receive.

LightSpeed have the added bonus of symmetrical uploads, which is currently unmatched by other major full fibre providers including BT, Sky, TalkTalk, and Virgin Media.

Key terms for LightSpeed broadband deals

LightSpeed broadband packages have a 24-month minimum term contract, and so cancelling early would be subject to early cancellation charges.

Customers won't be subject to in-contract price rises however, with LightSpeed promising no mid-contract price hikes on all packages.

While the WiFi 6 Adtran router and booster is provided by LightSpeed as part of the package, these devices will need to be returned to the provider if the contract is cancelled at any point.
