In the wake of the explosion in home working due to Covid-19, Andrew Skipsey’s ISP business Giganet has switched on its residential broadband service across the UK.
The company has now launched a Giganet Home website dedicated to the service and claims to have received its first residential order just 30 mins after going live.
“Home broadband was always the goal when we launched Giganet just over two years ago,” said Skipsey, Managing Director at M12 Solutions (pictured), the parent company of Giganet.
“I’m proud to say we’re unlike many other providers in the market today. We are small enough to provide a personal approach to each of our customers and experienced and trusted to deliver what we promise.”
Matthew Skipsey, Head of Giganet added: “This is an incredible milestone for us. Our strategic partnership with the main UK national carriers and our in-house engineering and support team put us head and shoulders above many resellers in offering reliable, ultrafast business Internet. With Giganet’s national presence, we saw a real opportunity to emulate what we have achieved in the business world for residential and home customers across the country.
The company first launched the service in Salisbury, one of the first entire cities in the UK to go full fibre in April 2020 during the COVID-19 lockdown period, and then nationally. Giganet fast-tracked broadband connections to healthcare staff and key workers to support them during one of the most unprecedented challenges in recent times.
The home Internet packages will be available nationally where Openreach has fibre network such as Birmingham, Edinburgh, Leeds and Liverpool, and in ‘Giganet Local’ cities which include Basingstoke, Winchester and Salisbury where the ISP has infrastructure in the local exchange.
