Connecting Our Community

All of our lives are becoming increasingly digital and internet services are more vital than ever. We know it’s essential that network performance and connection speeds are able to deal with our island’s future demand.

Guernsey Fibre reflects an investment of £37.5million. This Sure project is being carried out in partnership with the States of Guernsey which is providing part-funding of up to £12.5m. Working together in this way means you have added reassurance that this is a long-term investment that will benefit you for years to come as it becomes a crucial part of the island’s infrastructure.

The project is connecting 30,000 properties on the island, with everyone having access to fibre by the end of 2026.

Benefits to Guernsey 

This investment is a boost to the local economy with the direct impact being the creation of 75 additional jobs and millions of pounds flowing to local suppliers that Sure is using. It is also expected to have an indirect impact of an uplift of 1.1% to the economy generated by more digital activity.*

Benefits of Fibre

Guernsey Fibre is going to cover the whole island. So no matter where you live or work, you’ll have access to a fast, reliable and stable connection. 

The fibre connections are providing lightning-fast broadband that’s up to 125 times faster than today's basic connection speed**. 

This is enabling seamless learning and working-from-home experiences and will underpin the island’s future economic growth.
