Over the next 12 weeks more than 6,900 homes and businesses across Leek, as well as Etruria, Cliffe Vale and Shelton in Stoke-on-Trent, will be able to connect to LilaConnect’s gigabit full-fibre broadband.
LilaConnect uses a gigabit full-fibre network. This offers unmatched internet speeds thanks to its FTTP set-up.
As a result, LilaConnect's full fibre solution provides greater stability, reducing the chance of a dropped connection. Customers don't just see the benefits when downloading – with a fibre connection, information uploads just as fast as it downloads. Greater bandwidth means more data can be transmitted simultaneously, providing faster download speeds.
Added to this, low latency internet is more likely with fibre optic broadband, enabling better quality of online calls, online meetings or gaming online.
LilaConnect's fibre optic internet also has less interference in instances of disruption, such as peak usage times. It also offers greater security for customers.
Jan Lange, managing director at LilaConnect, said, "We are proud to be switching on the new LilaConnect gigabit full fibre network across additional premises in both Leek and Stoke-on-Trent. It will enable more businesses and residents in Staffordshire to take advantage of the best-in-class full-fibre internet connectivity, ensuring they can access a broadband service that’s not only lightning-fast, but stable, secure, and reliable. These are all essential features that help businesses to flourish and residents to thrive in today's digital age."
He added, "This is the next step in our investment into the Staffordshire area. It's a big leap forward in our progress to ensure that the whole region can benefit from first-class connectivity that is future-proofed for the decades to come."
