Connecting NHS workers

to the Openreach network

 

During Coronavirus, we know that working in the NHS has been tough, you’ve all gone above and beyond working on the front line. We know you’ve had to put up with a lot, but slow, unreliable broadband shouldn’t be on that list.

With more and more NHS workers starting to work from home, we know that great connectivity is vital to allow you to access the tools that you need, and to reach out to your patients in new ways such as video conferencing, where face to face appointments are unfortunately no longer an option. And for those working in surgeries, communities and health centres, ensuring that you and your team have the fastest and most reliable broadband connection is essential for productivity.

There’s 4 different types of broadband that may be available at your home or place of work:

Full Fibre

1Gbps max

Reliable, fast Full Fibre lets the whole family get online at the same time on multiple devices. Whether they're working, studying or playing they'll get Ultrafast downloads, lag-free gaming and less buffering on music or video.

Gfast

330Mbps max

Gfast supercharges the existing network to give speeds many times the national average. Great for data hungry households and small businesses.

Superfast broadband

80Mbps max

Download binge-ready box sets in under 5 minutes, or music albums in under 20 seconds. Stream in 4k Ultra HD on more than one device at a time.

Standard broadband

24 Mbps max

Using the copper network you can stream Netflix and YouTube at 1080p on up to two devices without buffering, play most online games without lag and load webpages without waiting.
