Gigabit broadband gives South Yorkshire residents more choice and future-ready connectivity
Do you want faster, more reliable broadband? Gigabit-capable broadband is available now.
Gigabit-capable broadband is now available to more than 96% of premises across South Yorkshire, giving most households and businesses access to the latest generation of broadband technology. Yet take-up remains significantly lower, meaning many residents could be missing out on the benefits of a more modern connection.
Today's homes rely on broadband more than ever before. From remote working and online learning to streaming entertainment, accessing public services and connecting increasingly smart homes, a fast and reliable internet connection has become an essential utility.
More choice than ever
While many people associate broadband with a handful of major providers, South Yorkshire is now served by a growing range of network operators. In many areas, alternative networks are providing additional choice, helping residents compare services and find an option that best meets their needs and budget.
The benefits of gigabit-capable broadband go beyond headline speeds. Modern broadband infrastructure offers greater capacity for households with multiple connected devices, improved performance for video calls and online activities, and helps future-proof homes as older copper-based networks are retired and more services move online.
More for your money
Importantly, upgrading to gigabit-capable technology does not necessarily mean paying for the fastest package available. Many services are now competitively priced, a range of package options exist using the newer technology, and some households may be eligible for discounted social tariffs.
