Full fibre broadband is now available for Dunure!

If you’re coming to the end of you broadband contract it’s now possible to upgrade to full fibre broadband, with speeds of up to 900 Mbps… that’s a film in less than a minute!

The installation should be free, and the connection should be more reliable that the one we have now. The new broadband will probably be cheaper and faster than what we have now.

Many of the suppliers will even pay for the early cancellation costs if your contract still has some months to run.

You can check availability for your house on the OpenReach checker page.

There’s a video on the site which explains the installation in more detail.

One point worth considering: the new fibre optic connection needs a mains socket to work –

Which means it won’t work in a power cut!

If you have a care alarm, health pendant, or security alarm which uses the phone line
you will need some extra help.

Ofcom have a useful page giving details of the help you can get.

If you are considering changing your contract, many of the suppliers will tell you you have to have a new phone number.

You don’t need to have a new phone number!

You can keep your ‘Dunure’ 500 number – like a mobile phone number that is yours, and
you have a right to keep it! You will find more information at the One Touch Switch site.

The bottom line is that you can use a separate VOIP phone line supplier and run it
on your new broadband contract – no need to have a bundled phone line.

A simple web search will bring up a number of options.
