Sally from Eastbourne has been a Lightning Fibre customer for the last two years. She chose us because we're a local company, and she uses her connection regularly for Zoom calls and working from home. 🛜

For Sally, having a reliable connection is important, and when she's had a technical issue, she says our team has always been quick to get it sorted.
