The biggest step for Internet connectivity since broadband
Rotherham DarkLight

DarkLight® for Rotherham business and education

Internet services are a vital part of day-to-day work for both businesses and schools, with demand for high-quality, reliable services increasing hugely over time. It's estimated that demand for Internet bandwidth increases roughly 50% a year, quickly leaving organisations behind.

We're introducing Rotherham schools and businesses to DarkLight, a comprehensive connectivity solution which ensures that you'll always get the level of service you need.

Starting off with guaranteed symmetrical 300 Mbps speeds, DarkLight lets you upgrade your connection at any time, with no additional construction involved, so you can always stay on top of your requirements. We currently offer a wide range of speed packages, including gigabit connectivity and world-class 10 Gbps performance.

We're dedicated to providing truly reliable performance, so our ultrafast connections are backed up with a 99.9% Service Level Agreement that ensures completely reliability, along with award-winning customer service in case you experience any issues.
