In some cases, we may be able to add new properties to an existing network. Please contact our Sales team who will be able to consider the viability of your request. If we are able to provide you with a connection, the team will then advise on timelines, work required and whether there are any installation costs involved. You can contact our Sales team via broadband@voneus.com or by calling us on 0333 880 4141.
If we’re bringing better broadband to your area as a new development, we’ll usually contact you around 3 months before we expect our broadband service to go live. This helps us get everything setup ahead of time, including funding from the UK Government which can help you get free installation of our brand new broadband technology.
If our better broadband is already available in your area, we can typically arrange for your installation to be made in around 2-4 weeks’ time.
If your already in a contract with your current provider, we often have options available to you to help. Please speak to our friendly sales team and they’ll find out what we can do if your stuck.

Is it easy to switch broadband provider?
In most cases you simply need to contact your old provider and let them know you wish to cancel your broadband (and any associated services if you wish).
If you’re out of contract, you normally just need to give 30 days notice to end any services.
If you’re in contract, you may need to pay an early termination fee and other charges, and you should discuss this with them to understand any charges.
Can I keep my landline phone number when I switch provider?
Yes you can, just let us know your current landline number and provider when you order, and we’ll take care of the transfer for you.
Can I keep my email address if I switch?
If you have a email address linked to your broadband provider, these can usually be kept free of charge, or for a nominal fee (such as @btinernet.com @virginmedia.com etc) – However we’d recommend using email providers that are not linked to your broadband, such as Hotmail, Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo etc.
Will I lose internet during the switch?
No, we install all our own equipment, totally separate from your old provider. Your old broadband will continue to operate until you cancel it with them.
When you get your new Voneus digital home phone you can keep the same landline number.
This is a process known as number porting and involves moving your existing number from your current provider over to another.
It’s easy to do, but there are a couple of really important steps:
· Before you place an order, make sure you understand the differences between your existing landline service and those of a digital home phone service
· To keep your phone number, tell us that you want to port the number when you place your order
· Keep the service you have with your current supplier going until the porting process has completed
· Be sure that all of the information you supply is accurate, because any mistakes could lead to delays or even the number being lost
A request to port your number will not be made until your broadband service has been activated, and could take up to 10 days.

You can continue to use your current home phone when you switch to VoIP - simply plug it into the back of your broadband router.
