toob‘s full-fibre network is now live in Southampton, delivering incredible 900 Mbps speeds on both download and upload. This is 16x faster than the UK average speed on download and a blazing 125x faster on upload, based on the latest information from Ofcom (May 2019).

These impressive speeds mean that downloading the Game of Thrones Season 8 (9.5 GB), which would normally take over 20 minutes, will take less than 1.5 minutes.

Whilst saving 100 of your holiday pictures to iCloud (1 GB), which would normally take 18 minutes, will take less than 10 seconds.

As well as being able to download the latest Fortnite update in 80 seconds (9 GB) or FIFA 20 in 6 minutes (40 GB), the low latency that comes with a full-fibre service will give any gamer an edge online.

toob‘s network will deliver a 100% full-fibre connection all the way to homes and businesses, giving customers reliable and consistent broadband, no matter the number of users or the time of day.
