Our mission is to provide high-speed broadband services to rural communities which are comparable to the services you'd find in cities. We use using leading-edge technologies to future-proof homes and businesses.
SWS Broadband offers wireless broadband packages for deep rural areas utilising its Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) network. Connections of 30Mbps+ are delivered over low power, line-of-sight radio. One of FWA's advantages is that a telephone line is not required to access it.
SWS Broadband is currently rolling out it's own new full fibre broadband which allows customers to choose a selection of packages with speeds from 150Mbps to 900Mbps.
All SWS Broadband connections support VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone services for home and business, which is a very cost-effective alternative to a standard telephone service. Customers can save on line rental and call costs while retaining their existing phone number(s).
