About Lightning Fibre
Written by the company
Rock Solid, Lightning Fast Award-Winning Full Fibre Broadband.
We're Lightning Fibre, a multi-award-winning, community-focused broadband network operator and internet service provider based in Eastbourne, in the South East of England.
Since 2018, we've been delivering full fibre hyperfast broadband to residential homes and businesses – with packages from 150Mbps up to 10,000Mbps (10Gbps).
⚡️Full fibre broadband from £26/month.
⚡️And with Lightning Fibre there are no mid-contract price rises!
We are a local employer with many expert installation engineers living in Hastings and neighbouring towns – and our customer services team is based in Eastbourne.
⚡️You can talk to a real person from 8 am to 8 pm every day!
Switch Smart. Switch Local.
Our Social Tariff, for households in receipt of means-tested benefits, delivers 50Mbps symmetric full fibre to your modem for just £15 per month on a rolling 30-day contract, with no set up fees and no credit checks.
What is ‘fibre’ vs ‘full fibre’?
Unlike a ‘fibre’ network, which may include slow, old copper wire, we have a ‘full fibre’ broadband network. This means our FTTP/FTTH (fibre to the premises / fibre to the home) network connects our street cabinets directly to your home modem using fibre optic cables all the way. This is why our network is both "hyper reliable and hyperfast".
Some of our national awards:
🏆Best Consumer ISP (<100k customers) ISPA Awards 2025
🏆Best Customer Experience ISPA Awards 2025
🏆2025 Broadband Provider of the Year - Connected Britain Awards.
🏆Best Consumer ISP (<100k customers) - ISPA Awards 2024
🏆Best Consumer ISP (<50k customers) ISPA Awards 2023

Network Issues resolved
I had been a customer for over two years and I started to get intermittent disconnections. Tech support could see no reason for these disconnections and so sent a new (higher spec) router. When this was plugged in in caused all sorts of problems. I contacted Tech Support and Kirk worked with me for several hours to identify the problem. Initially he believed that the issues were being caused by a device on my network. He methodically worked with me disconnecting and re-connecting devices and finally realised that the problem was being caused by the firmware version of the router. He rolled back the firmware to the previous version and once he changed this everything worked perfectly. I am sure that one of the big suppliers like Sky would not have put in the time and effort to resolve matters and would have just erroneously blamed the matter on a device on my network. On release of the newest version of the firmware (the one after the one that caused the issue) he installed this and everything worked perfectly. Kirk went above and beyond!
