Customer testimonials

"I had heard how great Lightwire was and how lovely all the workers are, and I loved the sound of that! The whole process was super easy, everything was explained really well, and I had no issues at all. The Wi-Fi is amazing! I’m just on the simple plan, and it works perfectly for what I need. What I enjoy most is how lovely and helpful everyone at Lightwire is, it makes such a difference. I’m single with flatmates, and we use the internet for watching TV and online work, and it’s always reliable."

"The internet quality is far better than what we had before, and with kids who game and live online, the performance handles really well. I’m on the unlimited plan, which suits our needs perfectly. What I enjoy most about being with Lightwire is the good quality, fair price, and great customer service. As a parent with two teenagers we use the internet for gaming, streaming, and general browsing. Overall, my experience with Lightwire has been awesome."

We chose Lightwire because of the price and the fact they could supply to our farmhouse. The whole experience was excellent—someone came out to connect us, and it was fast and hassle-free. The internet quality has been excellent with no dropouts, and what we enjoy most is the reliability—no hassles with the connection at all. As a couple with three kids aged 13, 12, and 9, we use the internet for TV, social media, and gaming, and Lightwire keeps up perfectly.

"The speed is incredibly fast and reaches all through the house with no issues. What I enjoy most is how fast it works and how multiple people can be using the internet at the same time without a hitch. We’re a family of six with four kids, and we use the internet mainly for watching TV and running our security cameras. Lightwire handles it all with ease. Our experience has been 10out of 10. I’d recommend Lightwire to everyone I know—super fast, affordable, and reliable."
