I’m with UW, how do I get Full Fibre?

Get in touch with us here – we’re always happy to help.

How long does it take to install?

If you’ve not had Full Fibre at your property before, an engineer will need to visit. Installation will then take around three hours. If you already have Full Fibre at your property with another provider, we can switch you to UW remotely.

Why don’t all properties have Full Fibre?

In certain areas only Full Fibre is available. If Full Fibre isn’t available at a property just yet, existing copper-based connections such as Standard, Ultra and Ultra Plus are still available with UW. These same options will be available to anyone signing up for a new contract, switching or upgrading.

Will there be interruption during the switch?

No  – there won’t be any interruption to your service.

Is special equipment needed for Full Fibre?

If you've not had Full Fibre before then an engineer will need to install special equipment / a new modem.

Can I make landline calls with Full Fibre?

Full Fibre is a data-only product and doesn’t carry calls by itself. If you use an alarm or medical dialer that’s reliant on a phone line, it won’t work with this service, so you’ll have to keep your existing phone line.
