Now part of the Rural Broadband Solutions PLC Group, our mission continues to be to provide high-speed broadband services within rural communities comparable to cities, 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 its advantages is that you don’t even need a telephone line to use it.
SWS Broadband is currently rolling out new Fibre Broadband which allows you to choose from packages with speeds from 30Mbps 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. You can save on line rental and call costs while keeping your existing phone number(s).
