Broadband
Everybody needs broadband but not all broadband is designed equal. Our broadband connections support multiple tenants so we've not made any compromises on the quality of our broadband service.
Other providers cut corners and do things we don't like, such as running a congested network, which slows you down during peak times. Unlike most providers, we've built Glide's broadband over O2's network instead of BT's.
So our network is built on the UK’s fastest DSL network. See the proof.
Our network is the most uncontended network in the UK with the quickest response.
It’s superfast, gloriously uncongested and rock solid connectivity for internet in high definition. Unlike incumbent providers, we don’t need to adapt ageing infrastructure to today’s rapidly evolving high definition economy.
With Glide, you get consistent speeds. All the time. Period.
Superfast
OFCOM says that our carrier's network offers the fastest consistent copper-based service and the lowest latency and packet loss. Our standard level product’s upload speed (1.3Mbit/s) is 30% higher than established industry providers while our premium product is a whopping 150% higher (2.5Mbit/s).
Faster upload means you can send data to the internet quicker. Share your photos, videos and documents faster.
Industry-leading download (up to 24Mbit/s) and upload unleash the internet dream of voice, video, television, data streaming and the cloud.
Gloriously uncongested
There’s no point in waiting till the network is full before increasing capacity . . . so we don’t. We ensure that investment in bandwidth expansion happens when we reach 70% capacity at peak times. Other providers wait until up to 95% before they invest in additional bandwidth. This means there’s always plenty of room for you to enjoy abundant bandwidth.
Our network is designed to be a business-grade network. And as a result it's perfect for tenants sharing a connection.
Excess capacity means that, unlike other networks, there’s no need for line management, throttling or traffic shaping.
Rock solid
With built-in redundancy across the network, the whole network stays up even if some components are down. It’s a network that results in less downtime, reduced support demands and happier customers.
Gaming
Whether you've got a Playstation 3, an Xbox360 or a PC, our uncontended network is perfect for gaming. Lower pings and a solid connection mean no more lag kills.
Router
Our Glide router is a Thomson TG582n wireless router. It arrives preconfigured with all the correct settings so it's literally plug and play. It's a wireless N router, meaning you get wireless freedom at lightning-fast speeds. Detailed specification.
