Anyone fed up with dire downloads and slow broadband speeds might want to check their postcode. It’s just been confirmed that one UK Internet Service Provider (ISP) is now offering a serious boost thanks to the launch of a Wi-Fi 7 router. For those not aware, Wi-Fi 7 is the latest technology that’s able to cope with faster speeds and more devices connected to it at once. This upgrade is far superior to the ageing Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5 routers many homes have installed and can even beat newer Wi-Fi 6 when it comes to performance.
The ISP now adding this update is Community Fibre, which supplies large parts of London with access to the web.
The new WiFi, Linksys WiFi 7 routers, will be available when customers sign up for its rapid 2.5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps Premium and 5 Gbps Premium packages, which are capable of beaming a full HD movie to TVs in under 30 seconds.
“Whether you’re working, gaming, or streaming simultaneously, Community Fibre’s WiFi 7 routers will keep customers connected like never before without any slowdown. Users could see faster speed upgrades of up to 40%, ideal for new phones, 8K TVs, VR, and smart home devices,” Community Fibre said.
Prices for 2.5Gbps start from £42 per month – switch to the ultimate 5Gbps speeds and you’ll pay £63 – you can check your postcode here.
Community Fibre isn’t the only provider offering Wi-Fi 7 routers. Sky recently announced it is offering users improved connectivity with two new plans available – Full Fibre 2.5 Gigafast+ and Full Fibre 5 Gigafast+. The UK ISP boasts that these beat its rivals by offering “the UK’s fastest broadband speeds from any major provider”.
EE also has a Wi-Fi 7 system on its most premium plans.
