I’m stuck with around 50Mbps at the moment where I live, but just had a letter through the door saying the following:
Anyone here using Hey!Broadband? It’s not a company I’ve heard of previously.
They seem to be offering their “star deal” of 1000mbps symmetrical for £40pm on an 18month contract.
I’m sorely tempted as I regularly download large amounts for gaming, and MSFS photogrammetry would benefit too! Trying to do some due diligence on them so thought I’d ask here.
Do I get stuck with them after 18months, or after the installation and contract is done can the other gigafast providers serve me once the infrastructure is in place?
cheers for any input!
We will be connecting your area to our full fibre network soon, and it is eligible for the UK Government Gigabit Voucher Scheme, which aims to connect communities to Gigabit capable networks.
To ensure that you can benefit from this voucher and get connected to our Full Fibre network for free, register here until 21st of March 2021 and Hey!Broadband (our commercial brand), together with FWNetworks (our full fibre deployment company) will apply on your behalf.
The voucher received will be used to build the network to your home*. You will then be able to connect to internet speeds of 1000mbps (megabits per second), much faster than current superfast speeds of 30mbps.
In any case, the voucher will cover any installation and set up costs. By registering now, you will get the first month of connection free**.
*Following detailed design and survey we retain the right to not proceed with installation if we encounter major engineering difficulties that can raise costs beyond the maximum value of the voucher (currently £4,000). However, we expect this situation to be highly limited due to the amount of interest received. This is because we are allowed by DCMS to spread any excessive costs over multiple vouchers.
