Briant Broadband is indeed a partner with CityFibre, one of the companies tasked with fulfilling the UK’s ambition of connecting every home possible with Full Fibre. The aim is to have 85% of homes connected by 2025, and 100% of us fully connected to the fast fibre network by 2030.

In order to achieve this aim CityFibre is laying fibre optic lines throughout the Worthing and Adur area. You may have seen them putting cables under your street or adding lines to overhead telegraph poles recently as you, or your neighbours were added to those who were in a position to receive anything up to 900 Mbps ultrafast broadband.

If you haven’t had CityFibre’s engineers in your neighbourhood yet and you’re reading this, don’t worry! It won’t be long until you’re connected as Worthing and Adur are among the spearhead of towns and cities which are being fully connected first.

As more and more homes are connected it’s possible for Briant Broadband to supply those properties with the broadband internet which makes those fibre optic lines so indispensable. As a local broadband internet service provider it’s our remit to supply our neighbourhood with fast, stable, secure internet quickly, and with a level of expert, friendly customer service you can only really expect from a small, local business.

Briant Broadband held a launch event on Tuesday 10^th of May to celebrate their partnership with Cityfibre, one of the main Fast Fibre infrastructure companies tasked with rolling out full fibre connectivity throughout the UK.

If you were there and you signed up on the day you will be getting your £25.00 Worthing gift vouchers when we install your router. These vouchers are accepted in many independent retailers, cafes, and traders and they help to boost the local economy. If you weren’t lucky enough to get your hands on any of these vouchers, we’re sorry! But we do still have many other features and benefits which make joining Briant Broadband your best option.

Along with having among the most competitive prices for Full Fibre and wireless broadband internet we offer a friendly, expert local customer service which means we get things done quickly. In fact, if we don’t get you connected to the internet within 48 hours, we’ll give you a month’s service free. Read more

If you thought that all broadband suppliers were the same, and the only difference was the prices charged for different speeds, you couldn’t be more wrong! While price is a big factor, when you look at what you’re getting in terms of speed, most internet service providers are very similar. But what about the small print? Those fine details can make a big difference!

Many of the smaller companies currently competing in the market offer speeds and prices which are competitive, but they have catches. Some are selling you broadband which they can’t even deliver for a further three months. Others offer prices similar to those you can get with Briant Broadband, but that’s if you sign up to a contract which will be at least a year long, maybe two. And they have clauses that they can put their prices up while you’re with them. And if you want to keep the same price you may have to negotiate yourself down to a slower connection to keep the same price, or tie yourself into another long contract which, of course, will be subject to potential price increases further down the line.

Line rental is another cost which is often hidden in the small print as well. A phone line is at least £15.00 per month and it is necessary for broadband providers who are using ‘Fibre to the Cabinet’ solutions. Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) uses fibre rather than copper telephone wires for more than 99% of your data’s journey from the server, via a local exchange, to your computer. It’s only when it gets to the cabinet at the end of your street that the medium changes from glass to metal. The problem is that copper phone cables aren’t designed to take superfast or ultrafast broadband. Consequently your data hits a massive obstacle when it reaches the cabinet, slowing it down from a potential 900 Mbps to around 80 Mbps (Briant Broadband’s slowest speeds are 100 Mbps, with no line rental or hidden extras).

Now that we’re using broadband to power all of our media consumption, from TV to social media, podcasts, even downloading books we can read when we’re not doing ‘screen time’ it’s more important than ever that we have high speed, reliable connectivity. It’s also why it’s so infuriating when we don’t get what we need.

And now that many of us live with robot helpers who carry out mundane functions around the house, such as Smart Home Security cameras and sensors, Smart Speakers, and Smart environmental controls the need for reliable data has never been greater. Smart devices may not use much, but to work properly data needs to be constantly available.

As many as half of all broadband customers have experienced at least some disruption to their broadband service over the last year, according to a survey conducted by Which?, the champion of consumer rights magazine.

Their survey took in 4,000 consumers and found that much lower than expected speeds, dropping out, complete internet outages and problems with routers were among the most perennial problems people were likely to have.

It’s easy to think all broadband internet providers are all the same. In fact there are many things which separate us all from one another, not least our ethos and the way we treat you as a customer.

You’ve no doubt had a contract with one of the big high street names such as Virgin, BT, Sky or TalkTalk before, and if you have you’ll know how lumbering big companies can be when it comes to problem solving and customer service. You call and have to navigate labyrinthine options before you get to talk to a human, if you ever do. The call centres are located miles away and so busy you feel you’re just a number to the operator. Then your problem is treated flippantly, and if an engineer is needed you’re booked in, but the exact time the technician will turn up remains a mystery, meaning a day indoors waiting.

Briant Broadband isn’t like that.

Here at Briant Broadband we believe in offering friendly, expert customer service from a team of staff who are local to Worthing. What does that mean? Well, we promise to get you connected to the internet within 48 hours of your agreeing to use our service, or we’ll give you a month’s broadband for free. We also offer an ‘Introduce a Friend’ scheme where you can get a month’s free data each when you introduce another user to our service. Read more

You’ve probably noticed recently that there are many more internet service providers on the market than there used to be, all offering similar prices and similar speeds while trying to compete with the companies we all know well, such as Virgin, Sky and BT. Because they are all so similar, it can be hard to differentiate between what they offer, and why you should choose any one over another.

We’re not here to put anybody down, so we’ll just talk about what Briant Broadband brings to the game.

One of our most important unique selling points to us is the fact that we’re a genuinely local Worthing based business. That means several things to us:

Firstly because we’re local we’re part of the Worthing and Adur community. We’re not just a business who sells a product, we’re a company who provide a service to our neighbours.

Secondly, and more important to our customers, we are able to move quickly. When you call us you’re dealt with by people in our Brighton Road office, or even a company director in Stanford Square. Once we’ve checked availability in your area we promise to get you connected to the internet within 48 hours or we’ll give you a month’s data for free once we get you up an running. Read more

While most other broadband providers will send you a modem in the post or via a courier if you’re staying on ADSL, or give you an date when an engineer can come and connect you to the network if you’ve chosen to switch over to Full Fibre broadband. Briant Broadband say “We’ll get you connected in 2 days, or give you a month’s data for free!”

Briant Broadband are your genuinely local to Worthing broadband internet service provider, which means that we’re always nearby and on hand to install equipment and answer any queries you have. No far-flung call centres for us! When you phone your call will be answered in our offices just outside Worthing town centre. And it’s because we’re local we’re able to say “Challenge Us!”

When you call, or we reply to your online enquiry, we’ll establish where you live and what level of service you require. Depending on your precise location and needs it may be a week or two before we can connect you to Full Fibre right into your home, so in the meantime what we will do is provide you with a wireless receiver ensuring that you don’t go without broadband internet until we can get the fibre optic cable from the local exchange to your door.
