News and Resources
Fibre to the Premises (FTTP) is a broadband technology that can provide very fast internet speeds.
Fibre uses pulses of light to transmit data through glass tubes that are as thin as a strand of hair. The internet speeds that can be delivered via a fibre connection are the fastest available anywhere in the UK.
Fibre to the Premises means that the fibre broadband internet connection from the local exchange is connected to the router in your home, which is much faster than the old copper telephone line used by many other broadband services.
Some providers can only provide fibre to the nearest cabinet, and then rely on the old copper network to link the cabinet to your property. This is known as Fibre to the Cabinet (FTTC) and means you’re not getting anywhere near the full speeds that full-fibre can offer, because the bandwidth is still restricted by the copper cable link from the cabinet to your home.
Wildanet is different because we provide a full-fibre service (known as Fibre to the Premises – FTTP). This means you get a hyperfast fibre service delivered all the way up to your front door.
No. That’s the great thing about Wildanet – because we operate our own network and are not reliant on the old copper lines, there’s no landline required. Plus, all our services come with the option of adding an internet-based phone (known as VoIP, which stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol).
Our Fixed Wireless broadband service works just like your TV aerial.
We install a small receiver (about the size of a dinner plate) on your property. This receives the internet signal from one of our transmitters, giving you instant access to our superfast, super-reliable internet. It’s quick and easy to install.
Wireless broadband has become incredibly popular in countries such as Australia and USA, thanks to it being a much more cost-effective way of delivering a broadband signal across large distances (as opposed to laying cables across many miles).
This makes it the perfect choice for rural locations that don’t have access to the standard cable network enjoyed by those living in towns and cities.
No. That’s the great thing about Wildanet; because we operate our own network (and are not reliant on the old copper cables), you don’t need a landline to access our broadband service. Plus, all our services come with the option of adding an internet phone (known as VoIP, which stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol).
If you’re in an area that is not serviced by our fibre or wireless network, we may be able to offer you a 4G broadband service.
What is 4G broadband?
Our 4G broadband service is provided via a mobile network provider and is not part of the Wildanet network. This means that as long as there is mobile coverage in your area we will be able to deliver a broadband service but we cannot guarantee the speeds you receive or reliability of service. Our team will first conduct a quick online survey to see if you can get 4G coverage in your area. We can then advise what kind of speeds you may be able to receive. Please be aware that the speeds are variable and can change depending on how much the 4G network is being used at the time.
What speeds can I get with 4G?
The speeds you can get on 4G vary depending on where you’re based, the network provider used and how much the 4G network is being used at the time (typically you will notice slower speeds at peak times). Our 4G Broadband products can deliver speeds up to 36Mbps for a single SIM service or up to 55Mbps for a bonded SIM service.

Acknowledgement of your order
When you place an order with us on our website, we regard this as an offer from you to purchase a subscription for the relevant Service (and related installation and set-up services). We will acknowledge your order by email once we receive it, but that does not mean that we have accepted your order.

If we cannot accept your order
If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing via email and will not charge you for the Service or any related charges for the set-up of any equipment you need to receive the Service.

Our installation guide outlines what we will do at your home www.wildanet.com/standardinstallation. Once it has been set up by us, you should not try to adjust or move the equipment yourself as this equipment remains our property at all times. Please contact us if the equipment needs to be moved or any adjustment or repair needs to be made to it for any reason and we will arrange a visit so that our engineer can do this.

8. CHARGES AND PAYING FOR THE SERVICES
Where to find details of charges for the Service and related services and equipment
The charges for the Service (and set-up services and installation of the equipment) will be the charges set on the order page when you place your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the charges of the Service advised to you are correct. You can check and manage your account using your account via customer portal referred to in paragraph 7 above. However please see paragraph 8.9 for what happens if we discover an error in the charges of the Service you order.
When we will start to charge you
When we accept your order for the Service, we will charge you the set-up fee (which covers the installation of the equipment and the set-up services), but we won't charge you for the Service until it has been activated. We will charge you for the first instalment of the subscription charges for the Service when we are informed by our engineer that the Service has been activated.
When and how you must pay
Details of the methods of payment we accept are set out on the order page of our website where you place your order. We will charge you for the Service during period of the contract (which will be subject to the minimum commitment period in your order) as follows:
the Set-Up Fee will be charged to you when email you to confirm that we have accepted your order;
the first instalment of your subscription fee will be charged to you when the Service is activated for you by our engineer; and
a monthly subscription fee, as set out in the order which will be payable monthly in advance. The monthly subscription fee will remain unchanged during the initial minimum commitment period unless you notify us that you wish to change your bandwidth requirements or move to a different Service package.
Increases in charges after the minimum commitment period
We may increase your monthly subscription charge for the Service after the minimum commitment period by giving you at least one month's notice of this. When we email you to notify you that the minimum commitment period is coming to an end, we will tell you about any increase in the charges (and about any other changes to the Service) if you want to continue the Service after the minimum commitment period. If you do not agree to the increase in charges or other changes to the Service, please let us know. If we do not hear from you we will assume that you want your contract to end, once the minimum commitment period comes to an end.
Additional charges for support in certain circumstances
Usually, we will be able to provide remote support for the Service and equipment. However, in some cases we may be entitled to charge you for an engineer visiting your home: please see paragraph 11. These charges are set out in our Price Guide.
VAT and changes in the rate of VAT
The charges include VAT at the rate that applies when you place your order. If the rate of VAT changes during the period of the contract, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay.
What happens if we get the charges wrong
It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, there may be an error in the charges. We will normally check charges before accepting your order. If there is a change in the charges after you have place your order, but before the Service has been activated, we will contact you to check that you wish to continue with your order for the Service. If we accept your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.
We can charge interest if you pay late
If you do not make any payment to us by the due date, we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Santander UK plc from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us this interest together with any overdue amount.
What to do if you think an invoice is wrong
If you think an invoice is wrong, please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
9. YOUR RIGHTS TO ASK FOR CHANGES TO THE SERVICE ORDERED
How you can change the Service package you have ordered
If you wish to make a change to the Service you have ordered, please contact us via the customer portal or by e-mail or phone. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the charges for the Service, when the Service will change or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change. We will then also ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
Changing to another Service package during the minimum commitment period
If we agree to your request to your move to another Service package during your minimum commitment period, the remainder of that minimum commitment period will apply to the new Service package. If you decide to change your mind after you have asked to move to another Service package in accordance with paragraph 13 below, when you cancel we will move you back to your previous package, if you are still within the minimum commitment period for the original Service package.

you do not provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the set-up services or Service to you (for example, information about any consents to have the equipment installed or your availability for installation of the equipment); or
you do not comply with these terms or we reasonably believe that you are using the Service otherwise than as permitted by these terms and our Acceptable Use Policy;
we reasonably believe that you have used the Service or equipment for any illegal purpose or have provided us with false or misleading information; or
your use of the Service is affecting the network or use of the services by our other users.
Your right to remedy anything you have done to break the contract
Depending on the circumstances, we will usually allow you 14 days to remedy anything you have done which breaches these terms, if the matter can be remedied. However, we do not have to do this where this would be likely to adversely affect us or our other customers or where what you have done is illegal.
You must compensate us if you break the contract
If we end the contract in the situations set out in paragraph 15.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for the Service (and any related services or equipment) we have not provided, but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract. In addition, if we end the contract because of something you have done within the minimum commitment period, you may have to pay us the charges which apply on early termination as set out in Price Guide.
Other reasons we may end the contract
We may also end the contract and stop providing the Service at any time on giving you at least one month's in advance if:
we cease providing the Service to our customers for any reason (for example, because our network providers or suppliers cease to provide service to us or there is a legal or regulatory change which affects our provision of the Services or any authorisation required to provide the Service comes to an end or the terms are changed); or
you die or become bankrupt; or
we have to do so because of an emergency or event beyond our control which will prevent us from providing the Service for a period in excess of 14 days. If we do end the contract between you and us in these circumstances, will refund any sums you have paid in advance for set-up services, equipment and any Service which will not be provided, and you will not have to pay any early termination charges, even if we terminate the contract during the minimum commitment period.
16. PROBLEMS WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDED AND YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
What to do if there is a problem?
We always use reasonable efforts to ensure that the equipment and our provision of the set-up services and the Service are problem fee. If, however, there is a problem, please let us know as soon as possible. Once you have notified us of the problem, we will try to remedy the matter as quickly as is reasonably possible and practical in the circumstances.
Who pays for remedying a problem?
This will depend on how the problem was caused. We will not charge you where the problem was caused by us, those working us or authorised by us to carry out work for us or if no-one is at fault. However, if we reasonably consider that the problem has been caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by you or something you did or did not do, we may charge you a reasonable additional sum for remedying the problem.

When we are liable for damage caused by software we provide as part of the Service

Acknowledgement of your order
When you place an order with us on our website, we regard this as an offer from you to purchase a subscription for the relevant Service (and related installation and set-up services). We will acknowledge your order by email once we receive it, but that does not mean that we have accepted your order.

If we cannot accept your order
If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing via email and will not charge you for the Service or any related charges for the set-up of any equipment you need to receive the Service.

You can check and manage your account using your account via customer portal referred to in paragraph 7 above. However please see paragraph 8.9 for what happens if we discover an error in the charges of the Service you order.
When we will start to charge you
When we accept your order for the Service, we will charge you the set-up fee (which covers the installation of the equipment and the set-up services), but we won't charge you for the Service until it has been activated. We will charge you for the first instalment of the subscription charges for the Service when we are informed by our engineer that the Service has been activated.
When and how you must pay
Details of the methods of payment we accept are set out on the order page of our website where you place your order. We will charge you for the Service during period of the contract (which will be subject to the minimum commitment period in your order) as follows:
the Set-Up Fee will be charged to you when email you to confirm that we have accepted your order;
the first instalment of your subscription fee will be charged to you when the Service is activated for you by our engineer; and
a monthly subscription fee, as set out in the order which will be payable monthly in advance. The monthly subscription fee will remain unchanged during the initial minimum commitment period unless you notify us that you wish to change your bandwidth requirements or move to a different Service package.
Increases in charges after the minimum commitment period
We may increase your monthly subscription charge for the Service after the minimum commitment period by giving you at least one month's notice of this. When we email you to notify you that the minimum commitment period is coming to an end, we will tell you about any increase in the charges (and about any other changes to the Service) if you want to continue the Service after the minimum commitment period. If you do not agree to the increase in charges or other changes to the Service, please let us know. If we do not hear from you we will assume that you want your contract to end, once the minimum commitment period comes to an end.
Additional charges for support in certain circumstances
Usually, we will be able to provide remote support for the Service and equipment. However, in some cases we may be entitled to charge you for an engineer visiting your home: please see paragraph 11. These charges are set out in our Price Guide.
VAT and changes in the rate of VAT
The charges include VAT at the rate that applies when you place your order. If the rate of VAT changes during the period of the contract, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay.
What happens if we get the charges wrong
It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, there may be an error in the charges. We will normally check charges before accepting your order. If there is a change in the charges after you have place your order, but before the Service has been activated, we will contact you to check that you wish to continue with your order for the Service. If we accept your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.
We can charge interest if you pay late
If you do not make any payment to us by the due date, we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Santander UK plc from time to time.

you do not provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the set-up services or Service to you (for example, information about any consents to have the equipment installed or your availability for installation of the equipment); or
you do not comply with these terms or we reasonably believe that you are using the Service otherwise than as permitted by these terms and our Acceptable Use Policy;
we reasonably believe that you have used the Service or equipment for any illegal purpose or have provided us with false or misleading information; or
your use of the Service is affecting the network or use of the services by our other users.
Your right to remedy anything you have done to break the contract
Depending on the circumstances, we will usually allow you 14 days to remedy anything you have done which breaches these terms, if the matter can be remedied. However, we do not have to do this where this would be likely to adversely affect us or our other customers or where what you have done is illegal.
You must compensate us if you break the contract
If we end the contract in the situations set out in paragraph 15.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for the Service (and any related services or equipment) we have not provided, but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract.

16. PROBLEMS WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDED AND YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
What to do if there is a problem?
We always use reasonable efforts to ensure that the equipment and our provision of the set-up services and the Service are problem fee. If, however, there is a problem, please let us know as soon as possible. Once you have notified us of the problem, we will try to remedy the matter as quickly as is reasonably possible and practical in the circumstances.
Who pays for remedying a problem?
This will depend on how the problem was caused. We will not charge you where the problem was caused by us, those working us or authorised by us to carry out work for us or if no-one is at fault. However, if we reasonably consider that the problem has been caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by you or something you did or did not do, we may charge you a reasonable additional sum for remedying the problem. We will usually inform you of the amount of such charges in advance where this is practical and except in the case of an emergency. These charges will usually be in line with the charges for engineer support as set out in the Price Guide.
Equipment provided as part of the Service.
The equipment that we provide to you will remain our property at all times and you should treat it with reasonable care.

If any equipment is faulty, you should let us know as soon as possible and will repair or replace it.

Software provided as part of the Service
Any digital content (eg software and updates to it) will be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose and as described by us.

However, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have installed appropriate up to date protection against viruses installed on any equipment or device used by you.
Services provided by us
Any services we provide (including the Service and any set-up and installation services) will be provided by us as described in these terms and with reasonable skill and care and within a reasonable time.

any loss or damage that was caused by your breaking these terms; or
any loss or corruption of data (unless that is due to a problem with the software we provide to you as part of the Service or with the equipment); or

When we are liable for damage caused by software we provide as part of the Service
If defective digital content, such as software, which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation.

Acknowledgement of your order
When you place an order with us on our website, we regard this as an offer from you to purchase a subscription for the relevant Service (and related installation and set-up services). We will acknowledge your order by email once we receive it, but that does not mean that we have accepted your order.

If we cannot accept your order
If we are unable to accept your order, we will inform you of this in writing via email and will not charge you for the Service or any related charges for the set-up of any equipment you need to receive the Service.

8. CHARGES AND PAYING FOR THE SERVICES
Where to find details of charges for the Service and related services and equipment
The charges for the Service (and set-up services and installation of the equipment) will be the charges set on the order page when you place your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the charges of the Service advised to you are correct. You can check and manage your account using your account via customer portal referred to in paragraph 7 above. However please see paragraph 8.9 for what happens if we discover an error in the charges of the Service you order.
When we will start to charge you
When we accept your order for the Service, we will charge you the set-up fee (which covers the installation of the equipment and the set-up services), but we won't charge you for the Service until it has been activated. We will charge you for the first instalment of the subscription charges for the Service when we are informed by our engineer that the Service has been activated.
When and how you must pay
Details of the methods of payment we accept are set out on the order page of our website where you place your order. We will charge you for the Service during period of the contract (which will be subject to the minimum commitment period in your order) as follows:
the Set-Up Fee will be charged to you when email you to confirm that we have accepted your order;
the first instalment of your subscription fee will be charged to you when the Service is activated for you by our engineer; and
a monthly subscription fee, as set out in the order which will be payable monthly in advance. The monthly subscription fee will remain unchanged during the initial minimum commitment period unless you notify us that you wish to change your bandwidth requirements or move to a different Service package.
Increases in charges after the minimum commitment period
We may increase your monthly subscription charge for the Service after the minimum commitment period by giving you at least one month's notice of this. When we email you to notify you that the minimum commitment period is coming to an end, we will tell you about any increase in the charges (and about any other changes to the Service) if you want to continue the Service after the minimum commitment period. If you do not agree to the increase in charges or other changes to the Service, please let us know. If we do not hear from you we will assume that you want your contract to end, once the minimum commitment period comes to an end.
Additional charges for support in certain circumstances
Usually, we will be able to provide remote support for the Service and equipment. However, in some cases we may be entitled to charge you for an engineer visiting your home: please see paragraph 11. These charges are set out in our Price Guide.
VAT and changes in the rate of VAT
The charges include VAT at the rate that applies when you place your order. If the rate of VAT changes during the period of the contract, we will adjust the rate of VAT that you pay.
What happens if we get the charges wrong
It is always possible that, despite our best efforts, there may be an error in the charges. We will normally check charges before accepting your order. If there is a change in the charges after you have place your order, but before the Service has been activated, we will contact you to check that you wish to continue with your order for the Service. If we accept your order where a pricing error is obvious and unmistakeable and could reasonably have been recognised by you as a mispricing, we may end the contract and refund you any sums you have paid.
We can charge interest if you pay late
If you do not make any payment to us by the due date, we may charge interest to you on the overdue amount at the rate of 4% a year above the base lending rate of Santander UK plc from time to time. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount, whether before or after judgment. You must pay us this interest together with any overdue amount.
What to do if you think an invoice is wrong
If you think an invoice is wrong, please contact us promptly to let us know. You will not have to pay any interest until the dispute is resolved. Once the dispute is resolved we will charge you interest on correctly invoiced sums from the original due date.
9. YOUR RIGHTS TO ASK FOR CHANGES TO THE SERVICE ORDERED
How you can change the Service package you have ordered
If you wish to make a change to the Service you have ordered, please contact us via the customer portal or by e-mail or phone. We will let you know if the change is possible. If it is possible, we will let you know about any changes to the charges for the Service, when the Service will change or anything else which would be necessary as a result of your requested change. We will then also ask you to confirm whether you wish to go ahead with the change.
Changing to another Service package during the minimum commitment period
If we agree to your request to your move to another Service package during your minimum commitment period, the remainder of that minimum commitment period will apply to the new Service package. If you decide to change your mind after you have asked to move to another Service package in accordance with paragraph 13 below, when you cancel we will move you back to your previous package, if you are still within the minimum commitment period for the original Service package.

Can you end the contract during the minimum commitment period?
You can still end the contract during the minimum commitment period after you have lost the right to change your mind (see paragraph 13), even if we are not at fault by giving us one month's notice in writing.

If you end the contract during the minimum commitment period, you will need to pay us the charge for early termination as set out in the Price Guide.
15. OUR RIGHTS TO END THE CONTRACT

you do not provide us with information that is necessary for us to provide the set-up services or Service to you (for example, information about any consents to have the equipment installed or your availability for installation of the equipment); or
you do not comply with these terms or we reasonably believe that you are using the Service otherwise than as permitted by these terms and our Acceptable Use Policy;
we reasonably believe that you have used the Service or equipment for any illegal purpose or have provided us with false or misleading information; or
your use of the Service is affecting the network or use of the services by our other users.
Your right to remedy anything you have done to break the contract
Depending on the circumstances, we will usually allow you 14 days to remedy anything you have done which breaches these terms, if the matter can be remedied. However, we do not have to do this where this would be likely to adversely affect us or our other customers or where what you have done is illegal.
You must compensate us if you break the contract
If we end the contract in the situations set out in paragraph 15.1 we will refund any money you have paid in advance for the Service (and any related services or equipment) we have not provided, but we may deduct or charge you reasonable compensation for the net costs we will incur as a result of your breaking the contract. In addition, if we end the contract because of something you have done within the minimum commitment period, you may have to pay us the charges which apply on early termination as set out in Price Guide.
Other reasons we may end the contract
We may also end the contract and stop providing the Service at any time on giving you at least one month's in advance if:

16. PROBLEMS WITH THE SERVICE PROVIDED AND YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS
What to do if there is a problem?
We always use reasonable efforts to ensure that the equipment and our provision of the set-up services and the Service are problem fee. If, however, there is a problem, please let us know as soon as possible. Once you have notified us of the problem, we will try to remedy the matter as quickly as is reasonably possible and practical in the circumstances.
Who pays for remedying a problem?
This will depend on how the problem was caused. We will not charge you where the problem was caused by us, those working us or authorised by us to carry out work for us or if no-one is at fault. However, if we reasonably consider that the problem has been caused by incorrect or incomplete information provided by you or something you did or did not do, we may charge you a reasonable additional sum for remedying the problem. We will usually inform you of the amount of such charges in advance where this is practical and except in the case of an emergency. These charges will usually be in line with the charges for engineer support as set out in the Price Guide.
Equipment provided as part of the Service.
The equipment that we provide to you will remain our property at all times and you should treat it with reasonable care. The equipment provided by us will be in accordance with these terms and the description of it on our website, will be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose and will work for a reasonable time, if you look after it and use it in accordance with our instructions. If any equipment is faulty, you should let us know as soon as possible and will repair or replace it. Since the equipment remains our property, we reserve the right to ask you to give us access to your home so that we can collect it at any time if the contract comes to an end or we need to replace or upgrade it.
Software provided as part of the Service
Any digital content (eg software and updates to it) will be of satisfactory quality and fit for purpose and as described by us. If you can show that a fault with it has damaged any equipment or device used by you and we have not used reasonable care and skill you may be entitled to a repair or compensation. However, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have installed appropriate up to date protection against viruses installed on any equipment or device used by you.
Services provided by us
Any services we provide (including the Service and any set-up and installation services) will be provided by us as described in these terms and with reasonable skill and care and within a reasonable time.

However, if we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable as a result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill.

We are not responsible for:
any loss or damage that was not foreseeable to you and us when we entered into the contract for the Service; or
any financial or commercial loss; or
any losses you suffer if you have used the Service or equipment for business purposes (because the Service and equipment are intended for domestic and private use and not for business purposes); or
any loss or damage that was caused by your breaking these terms; or
any loss or corruption of data (unless that is due to a problem with the software we provide to you as part of the Service or with the equipment); or

We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so

liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation; or
breach of your legal rights in relation to the Service or any related services or equipment.
When we are liable for damage to your property
Where we are providing the set-up services at your property, we will make good any damage to your property caused by us while doing so. However, we are not responsible for the cost of repairing any pre-existing faults or damage to your property that we discover while providing the set-up services and installing the equipment.
When we are liable for damage caused by software we provide as part of the Service
If defective digital content, such as software, which we have supplied damages a device or digital content belonging to you and this is caused by our failure to use reasonable care and skill, we will either repair the damage or pay you compensation. However, we will not be liable for damage which you could have avoided by following our advice or for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us. We are not responsible for any loss or damage caused to any of your equipment, devices or digital content to you if you have failed to protect them against viruses which are transmitted over the internet which are outside our control.

We are not responsible for delays or disruption to the Service outside our control
If our supply of the Service (or related set-up services or equipment) is delayed by an event outside our control, then we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and we will take steps to minimise the effect of the delay. If we do this we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of substantial delay you may contact us to end the contract and receive a refund for any Service (including the set-up services) you have paid for but not received.
We may transfer the contract between you and us to someone else
We may transfer our rights and obligations under these terms to another company. We will always tell you in writing if this happens and we will ensure that the transfer does not adversely affect your rights under the contract. If you are unhappy with the transfer you may contact us to end the contract by giving us one month's written notice of us telling you about it and we will refund you any payments you have made in advance for the Service not provided.
You need our consent to transfer your rights to someone else
You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this in writing, but we will not unreasonably withhold our consent to this.
Nobody else has any rights under this contract
This contract is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms. Neither of us will need to get the agreement of any other person in order to end the contract or make any changes to these terms.
If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force.
Each of the provisions of these terms operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining terms will remain in full force and effect.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later.
If we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking this contract, that will not prevent us from taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you miss a payment and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Service, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date.

Alternative dispute resolution is a process where an independent body considers the facts of a dispute and seeks to resolve it, without you having to go to court.

Our Fixed Wireless broadband service works just like your TV aerial.
We install a small receiver (about the size of a dinner plate) on your property. This receives the internet signal from one of our transmitters, giving you instant access to our superfast, super-reliable internet. It’s quick and easy to install.
Wireless broadband has become incredibly popular in countries such as Australia and USA, thanks to it being a much more cost-effective way of delivering a broadband signal across large distances (as opposed to laying cables across many miles).
This makes it the perfect choice for rural locations that don’t have access to the standard cable network enjoyed by those living in towns and cities.
No. That’s the great thing about Wildanet; because we operate our own network (and not reliant on the old copper cables), you don’t need a landline to access our broadband service. Plus, all our services come with the option of adding an internet phone (known as VoIP, which stands for Voice Over Internet Protocol).
