Why go alternative?

Schools Broadband has partnered with a larger selection of Alternative Network providers than any other education-specialist ISP. Meaning we can bring schools DfE compliant, ultrafast broadband even where the major carriers can’t.

• Future-proof, compliant speeds to suit your needs: With connections available up to 8Gbps, you can meet DfE broadband standards at a price point that suits you.  With a diverse range of speeds available , it is easily scalable to accommodate the growing digital needs of your school and provides reliable, easy access to cloud services, VoIP and video conferencing!
• Award-Winning Network Security: Alt-Net connections are protected by KCSiE Compliant Filtering & our award-winning network security, with Anti-DDoS included as standard. Not one of our schools has suffered an outage due to DDoS attack since we introduced our Anti-DDoS solution.
• Technical support available: We also provide UK-based support from our fully trained engineers through our online customer portal to ensure your school remains connected at all times.
• Quick, easy installation: Our fibre installation process is quick and hassle-free, with flexible installation dates to minimise disruption to your school’s operations.
• Backup Lines: DfE Broadband Standards recommend all schools have a backup connection. For a truly resilient connection, your backup should be delivered via a different network than your main connection – Alt-Nets are the perfect solution.
• Tailor your package: Easily add Smoothwall Monitor, Safeguarding Incident Management, Anti-Virus, VoIP or Cloud Backup & Recovery. More information on our additional services below ↓
