Why we've partnered with WhistleOut

    Technology

    Expand to view more details.

    There are many technologies used in delivering broadband, including fibre to the node/premises/curb, HFC, satellite and fixed wireless. Usually you don't get a choice for your area. If your premises' technology isn't shown, it's because we don't have enough data from our program volunteers to publish accurate results.
