1. Introduction
The purpose of this Code of Practice is to inform residential and small business customers, in plain language, of the range of products, services and support functions that we offer. The policy provides details of how to contact us to obtain these products and services, how to cancel services and the complaint procedure should a dispute occur.
In addition, the policy details other policies and safeguards that are in place to protect consumers and ensure fair and safe access to our services. Nothing in this Code affects your statutory or other legal rights. Whilst the code provides useful guidance as to the manner in which we operate, it does not form part of any contract between us.

4. Our Products and Services
We typically offer the following services over Next Generation fibre optic networks:
Broadband
High speed Internet connections including line rental which provide contended or uncontended speeds up to 1Gbps (where available) with an average to the customer of 500Mbs.Typically the services will be symmetrical with the upload speed matching the download speed and restrictions may be imposed on monthly download limits. Our broadband services are provided in accordance with our Acceptable Broadband Use Policy, a copy of which may be obtained from our web site here or by request through phone, e-mail or mail.
Telephony
The telephone service that we may offer is based on Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) technology which does not require the use of conventional copper telephone lines. We provide Customer Premise Equipment which converts the voice signal to Internet traffic and enables call routing to other VoIP users or conventional telephone services over the Internet. This service provides all common functions normally associated with a conventional telephone line including full access to the Emergency Services. Telephone services are provided in accordance with our Telephony Fair Use Policy, a copy of which may be obtained from our web site here or by request through phone, e-mail or mail.
Television
The fibre optic technology that forms the backbone of our networks can enable the delivery of high quality television services from centrally located satellite dishes and aerials within the community. Since these services are delivered underground over the fibre optic network, there is no need for individual households to install their own satellite dishes and aerials. The television service delivers signals to enable Sky Q, Freesat and Freeview television services to be received subject to individual customers purchasing a suitable service or set-top decoder box. A DAB radio feed is also available on many networks. Please note that a television Licence is still required when receiving services through our fibre optic networks. Further information is available here.
Pricing
Pricing for all our services is available on our web site and generally available on the dedicated portals for the communities and developments that we serve. A full price list can be provided following a request by phone, e-mail or in writing to our offices.
Services may be ordered by phoning, e-mailing or writing to us, alternatively many of our dedicated portals have sign up forms. For those networks on new housing developments, it is also possible to sign up for the service through the Sales and Marketing Offices of the developer.
