Affordable internet plans that don’t sacrifice speed or quality

When we talk about the digital divide, we are referring to the gap between households with access to modern networks like full fibre broadband which is serviced by new fibre optic cabling and households who are still on the old copper wire networks. At Hey!Broadband, we’re committed to everyone being able to access high quality and superfast full fibre broadband. The great thing about it is that fibre optic broadband doesn’t have to cost a fortune; we ensure to keep our prices down and promise to keep them that way throughout the time you enjoy our service – there are no price hikes.

The Value of Full Fibre Broadband

It's long been the case that reliable internet access isn't just a luxury, it's a necessity. Especially that we now encounter remote working as well as hybrid working, having a fast and dependable internet connection is essential. Full fibre broadband should not be a barrier for entry for anyone trying to access employment opportunities or information. Broadband for low-income families means bridging the gap between standard copper cable broadband and full fibre broadband which can seem like a daunting task, both financially and practically.

That's where Hey!Broadband comes in. As a leading internet service provider, Hey!Broadband is dedicated to bridging the digital divide by offering affordable internet plans designed to meet the needs of every family. With universal credit broadband packages and many more affordable internet plans tailored to provide high speeds, reliability, and seamless connectivity, Hey!Broadband is committed to ensuring that no one is left behind.

Plus, when you choose Hey!Broadband, you get a free installation worth £150. We set up fibre optic broadband, hassle-free, and at no expense to yourself. Bridging the digital divide is simple when you switch to Hey!Broadband.

The Benefits

One of the key advantages of Hey!Broadband’s social tariff is speed. Unlike traditional copper cable broadband, which can struggle to deliver consistent speeds, fibre optic broadband offers lightning-fast connectivity that can handle even the most demanding online activities. In order to achieve this, our Everyday Fibre package offers all the benefits of full fibre broadband but at a fair price for those who are eligible.

We ensure that our social tariff package is fairly priced at £16 per month. And this doesn’t sacrifice quality in any way, Hey!Broadband offers 100mbps of full fibre which is a very competitive speed compared to most other providers. We also ensure that the price you sign up for is the price you pay; there are no mid-contract price hikes which you may have already noticed from other providers!

Reliability is another area where Hey!Broadband shines. Nothing is more frustrating than trying to stream a movie or watch a live sports game, only to be plagued by buffering and slow load times. With Hey!Broadband 's fibre broadband, say goodbye to choppy video and hello to uninterrupted streaming. Whether you're watching Netflix in the living room and your partner is gaming online in another, Hey!Broadband has family broadband packages to cater to every need.

Bigger Bandwidth

It's common for households to have multiple devices competing for bandwidth at the same time. From smartphones and tablets to smart TVs and gaming consoles, the average household is more connected than ever before. That's why Hey!Broadband's fibre broadband packages are designed to handle multiple devices simultaneously, ensuring that everyone in the family can stay connected without slowing each other down.

Peak hours are often when internet performance suffers the most, as large numbers of users compete for limited bandwidth. However, with Hey!Broadband's fibre broadband, families can rest easy knowing that they won't experience any interference during these hours. Whether it's first thing in the morning or late at night, Hey!Broadband's reliable connection ensures that you'll always have the bandwidth you need, when you need it most.
