Alternative Is IN!

Thanks to our new partnerships with Alt-Net providers, Secondary Schools can now meet DfE broadband standards for less with ultrafast, full fibre broadband

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 from 100Mbps up to 10Gbps, you can meet DfE broadband standards at a price point that suits you.
  • Symmetrical and Guaranteed: All speeds are guaranteed and symmetrical, meaning upload is just as fast as the download speed – great for cloud services, VoIP and video conferencing!
  • Award-Winning Network Security + Filtering: 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.
  • Enhanced support available: Add a guaranteed 99.95% Service Level Agreement (SLA) with a 6 hour fix time and support from our fully trained engineers.
  • Quick, easy installation: In as little as 14 working days! Still stuck in contract with your existing provider? Well there’s no need to wait! We’re offering up to 6 months broadband free of charge so you can switch now without doubling up on cost. Get in touch to find out if your school is eligible.
  • Secondary Special: For the last connection you’ll ever need, ask about our Secondary Special – 2Gbps (10Gbps bearer allowing easy scalability when you need to) symmetrical Leased Line including security, Anti-DDoS and filtering for only £6,595 p/a, or 5Gbps for only £9,295 p/a when you choose a five year contract.
  • 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, Anti-Virus, VoIP or Cloud Backup & Recovery. More information on our additional services below ↓
