Wildanet is the Cornish broadband provider bringing superfast and super-reliable service to homes and businesses throughout the region.
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).
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.

3. Your contract details.
Your Order:
When you place an order with us, we will need to check it and we need to make sure we can provide the Service to your specific location before putting a contract in place. This check may include a survey and any engineering/civil work required to allow us to install to your property.
When we receive your order, we will send you some important documents called the Contract Summary and Contract Information Sheet. These documents summarise key details about the contract such as your services, the equipment being provided, price, term, renewal and how you and we can terminate the contract. Please read these documents carefully and store them safely for future reference.
If we accept your order, we will send you an order confirmation at which time a contract between you and us shall come into force. Your Services term will begin on the day your services are successfully installed (Services Start Date) please see below.
If we cannot accept your order
In the unlikely event we can’t reach your property with our Service, we will notify you straight away and you will not be charged. In this case the contract will not take effect.
Services Start and End date.
The Services term starts on the Services Start Date and will continue until your Minimum Commitment Term expires (usually 24 months from Services Start Date). This will be detailed on your Order Form.
What happens at the end of the Minimum Commitment Term?
At least one month before your contract ends, we will email you to inform you of your options. If you want to end the Service at this point, you must give us at least one months' notice of this. If you do not do this, the contract between us will continue from month to month (a ‘rolling contract’) in accordance with any changes in the Service that we have informed you of (e.g., your introductory offer changing to full price).
The charges for the Service (and set-up services and installation of the equipment) will be set on the order form when you place your order. We will also detail these charges in your Contract Information and Contract Summary documents.
We will charge you for the first instalment of the subscription charges when we are informed by our engineer that the Service has been installed. From this date, a monthly subscription fee, as set out in the order, will be payable monthly in advance.
Our Fixed Price Promise: The monthly subscription fee will remain unchanged during the Minimum Commitment Term unless you notify us that you wish to move to a different Service package (see Changes section).
Increases in charges after the Minimum Commitment Term
We may increase your monthly subscription charge for the Service after the Minimum Commitment Term by giving you at least one month's notice of this. When we email you to notify you that the Minimum Commitment Term 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 do not agree to any of the changes, you must let us know. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you want your contract to continue.
Increases in charges may be necessary to reflect market changes and inflation measured by the Retail Price Index (For example a RPI increase of 2%, could mean your monthly price of £40 would increase to £40.80) or may be relevant if you have benefitted from a discount offer that reaches expiry. In this instance your price will increase to reflect RRP. Our up-to-date consumer tariffs can be found at www.wildanet.com/home-broadband
What to do if you think a payment is wrong
If you think a payment is wrong, please contact us straight away so we can resolve the issue.
We can charge interest if you pay late.
If you do not make any payment to us by the due date, we may charge you interest on the overdue amount at the rate of 6% a year above the base lending rate of Santander UK plc (or the maximum amount allowed by applicable law) which Santander UK plc may change from time to time. If the rate is negative, it will be deemed to be 0%. This interest shall accrue on a daily basis from the due date until the date of actual payment of the overdue amount. You must pay us this interest together with any overdue amount.
Your rights to make changes.
Changes in the first 14 days
You can change your mind and cancel your contract within 14 days of your Services Start Date. If you wish to do this, you must inform us within the 14-day period. Once your contract is cancelled, we will switch off your Service and you must allow us access to your home to collect the equipment which was installed when the Service was set up at a time which we agree with you.
Please note that if you cancel our Services within 15 days from the date you order our Services, and you have received Services before the 15 days at your request, then you will have to pay for the equipment and Services performed up to the date of cancellation.
If you do not allow us access to your home to uninstall and collect the equipment on the date agreed with us (of if we have requested that you return it to us and you do not), we will charge you the full price of the equipment.
If you are entitled to a refund, then we will refund you for any charges (minus any deductions we are entitled to make under these terms for example because the equipment returned to us is damaged) by the same method you used for payment.
Changes after the first 14 days
Changing your Service package. If you wish to make a change to your Service package, please contact us to discuss your requirements. If the change is possible, then we will let you know about any other changes that may be necessary (e.g. charges, key dates, new Minimum Commitment Term).
Changing your contract to someone else. You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under these terms to another person if we agree to this, but we will not unreasonably withhold our consent to this.
Moving home. If you move house during the Minimum Commitment Term, to an area in which we can provide the Service, please contact us to request that your Service is moved to your new home subject to the following conditions:
Our rights to make changes.
Minor changes to the Service
We may, from time to time, make changes to the Service to reflect changes in relevant laws and regulatory requirements or to implement minor technical adjustments and improvements, for example to address a security threat. These changes should not affect your use of the Service but, if they will, we contact you or by post information about the changes on our website.
Significant changes to the Service and these terms
If we make significant changes to the Service, we will give you at least one month's notice of the change. If you do not agree to the change, you must contact us to end the contract before the changes take effect and will receive a refund for any charges you have already paid for Services but have not received.
Changes to software
To improve the Service, we may occasionally need to update the software used by the equipment. We should be able to do this remotely but if this is not possible, then we may need to arrange for an engineer to visit and you agree that we will be given access to our equipment.
We aim to provide most support to you via our helpdesk which you can contact on 0800 0699906 or via e-mail customer.services@wildanet.com
If we have to contact you, we will do so by using the details you provided to us when placing your order.
Engineer visits to your home
If we need to arrange an engineer home visit, we will agree a date with you in advance. If this needs to be changed or cancelled, you will give us at least 2 working days' notice of this.
You must ensure that you or someone aged over 18 is present who can provide information (for example, about a problem) and make any relevant decisions.
We may charge you for engineer visits to your home at a rate of up to £75 p/hour if:
We will notify you of the charges payable for any engineer visits.
What to do if there is a problem?
If there is a problem with any aspect of your Service, please let us know as soon as possible so we can try to remedy the matter straight away.
Where Wildanet or someone authorised to work by us is responsible for the problem, or if no-one is at fault, you do not have to pay any charges. 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 the reasonable costs for remedying the issue.
We will notify you of the charges payable for any engineer visits.
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 we will repair or replace it. Please note we will not be responsible to repair or replace equipment which has been damaged by you or which is the subject of normal wear and tear. You will be responsible for the cost of replacing equipment in these circumstances.
Software provided as part of the Service.
Any digital content (e.g. 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.
Your legal rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015

Within the 14-day Cooling off period
If you have changed your mind, you may cancel the contract within the 14-day cooling-off period (see section 3).
During the Minimum Commitment Term
Our prices are based on our customer’s signing up to our Services for the Minimum Commitment Term explained to you during the order process. Therefore, if you wish to cancel your Services, please contact us in the first instance to see if we can assist you. However, if you still do want to cancel the contract during the Minimum Commitment Term (after the cooling off period) you will be liable to pay for the Services for the remainder of the Minimum Contract Term. For example, if you have 10 months remaining on your contract term and pay £30 a month you will need to pay £300 to end the Services.
At the end of the Minimum Commitment Term
We will email you at least 40 days before the end of the Minimum Commitment Term to remind you that this is coming to an end. You must give us one month's notice to terminate if you do not wish to continue the Service.
If you have moved to a rolling 30-day contract (see section 3) you can bring it to an end at any time by giving us at least one month's notice.

Your rights if we suspend the Service.
We will contact you in advance to tell you we will be suspending the Service, unless the problem is urgent or an emergency. If we have to suspend the Service for a period longer than 24 hours, we will adjust the price so that you do not pay for the Service while it is suspended. You may end the contract for the Service if we suspend it, or tell you we are going to suspend it, for a period of more than 24 hours and we will refund any amount you have paid in advance for the Service in respect of the period after you end the contract.
Suspension/termination due to non-payment
If you do not pay us for the Service when you are supposed to do so we may suspend or end supply of the Service until you have paid us the outstanding amounts. We will contact you to tell you we are suspending supply of the Service. We will not charge you for the Service during the period for which it is suspended but may charge you interest on your overdue payments.
We may end the contract for your Service at any time if:
Your right to remedy anything you have done to break the contract.
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.
Other reasons we may end the contract.
We may also end the contract and stop providing the Service at any time if:
If we do end the contract between you and us in these circumstances, then we 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.
If we fail to comply with these terms, we are responsible for reasonable direct loss or damage you suffer that is foreseeable as a result of our breaking this contract or our failing to use reasonable care and skill. Subject to other paragraphs in this contract, the maximum amount of compensation we will pay you in any 12-month period shall not exceed the value of the Services provided to you in that period.
What we are not are not responsible for:
We do not exclude or limit in any way our liability to you where it would be unlawful to do so.
The limits on our liability in this section, do not apply to:
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 which we have supplied (such as software) 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 will use the personal information you provide to us:
Details of the ways in which we will use your personal information and your rights relating to our use of your personal information are set out in our Privacy Policy.
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.
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).
