How does 4G broadband internet work?
4G, or 4G LTE (Fourth Generation Long-Term Evolution), is a wireless communication standard that enables high-speed mobile internet access. Although commonly associated with on-the-move connectivity for mobile phones or tablets, many people are unaware that it is a viable alternative to home or office broadband internet access.
While most users can access our 4G service using just our 4G router, some may benefit from an outdoor antenna, especially those in remote locations or properties where 4G signals struggle to penetrate from outside. Watch our video to learn more about a typical 4G installation.
Similar to your mobile phone, our 4G broadband internet solution utilises mobile phone masts to connect to the internet wirelessly which removes the need for a telephone line and providing greater flexibility. Your 4G broadband can theoretically be used anywhere in the UK with reliable 4G coverage.
Please note that we only guarantee service at the installation address declared at the point of sale as we perform checks to ensure that the service is a viable solution based on 4G coverage data.

With 99% 4G signal coverage, most properties can enjoy reliable 4G internet by using our 4G router. However, some locations may experience poor or no indoor 4G coverage. Installing an outdoor 4G antenna boosts the signal from outside your property via cable to the indoor router. So, if your location is listed as having weak signal, 'outdoor coverage only,' or you experience low signal on your mobile phone, you could still benefit from our 4G broadband service.
