Guaranteed excellence at all times

Completely Reliable Connectivity

Ultrafast, Ultra-Reliable DarkLight Internet

Internet connectivity doesn't just need to be fast enough – it needs to be totally reliable, particularly for schools and businesses. Having your connection go down unexpectedly can completely change your plans for the day, costing you a lot of time and money.

With DarkLight, we've built an Internet connectivity option that reliably delivers world-class performance at all times. DarkLight's reliable enough that we include a 99.9% Service Level Agreement as part of your contract – that means we guarantee you'll have the equivalent of under 45 minutes downtime per month, at absolute most.

In practice, the majority of our customers don't experience any downtime across the year, due to the incredible amount of failover and provisioning we've built into our network, while our expert customer care team helps to quickly resolve any issues our customers have.

Because DarkLight is provided directly to you and not shared with anyone else, we're able to provide another level of reliability. When we advertise ultrafast speeds, we don't say you'll get 'up to' a certain speed – you'll always get the speed you pay for with DarkLight.
