If you are looking to ditch BT Openreach or Virgin and move over to Lightning Fibre, you can use the referral code YT3CMC at checkout to get a £25 Love2Shop voucher.
I have been using them for a while now and honestly, the difference between proper full fibre and old copper-based lines is night and day.
Why it is actually worth making the jump
-
Symmetrical speeds: Most providers throttle your upload speed. With this, if you pay for 150Mbps or 1Gbps, you get that exact same speed both ways. It is a massive game-changer for working from home and gaming.
-
No mid-contract price hikes: Major broadband companies hit you with inflation plus 3.9% increases every April. Lightning Fibre lock your price for the full 24 months.
-
They will help buy out your contract: If you are facing exit fees with another provider, they can credit you up to £350 to cover the cost of leaving early.
-
Proper local support: They are based in East Sussex, so if you ever have to call, you get straight through to a local team rather than a massive overseas call centre.
-
Decent hardware: They supply Amazon eero mesh routers as standard, so the Wi-Fi coverage actually reaches the whole house without dead spots.
How to apply the code
The sign-up process is straightforward, but the referral box is a bit hidden:
-
Go to the Lightning Fibre website and select a 24-month package.
-
Follow the steps until you reach the very last page right before finalising the order.
-
Enter YT3CMC into the ‘Referral Code’ field and click the green validation button. It will show a green ‘Valid referer’ message to confirm it is applied.
Once your line goes live and the first bill clears, they will email the £25 voucher to both of us. If you have any questions about the installation, just drop a reply below!
