Broadband is the connection that is set up to your property, while Wi-Fi is a signal sent from the router to your device.

It is impossible to have a strong Wi-Fi signal around your home without a good broadband speed. There are many different types of broadband and a number of factors that impact your Wi-Fi.

You will receive your first invoice the day after installation. We’ll take your first direct debit payment 3 working days after that.

Every following month, we will invoice you on the first working day of the month and take your direct debit 3-7 working days after that.

Each month you will be sent your invoice. Each monthly invoice is a breakdown of your broadband costs, call plans, and any phone calls you’ve made (if you have a Truespeed landline).

Once you ‘port’ or transfer your number to Truespeed, your current copper phone line is deactivated by your current provider. This means any services that used the old phone line won’t be available any more.

You won’t get charged for having two phone lines for one property, but it’s a good idea to let your current broadband/call provider know that you’re leaving them, as there may be cancellation fees if you’re still in contract, but please do not cancel your current contract until your Truespeed service is live.

Porting is an industry term used to describe the transfer of telephone numbers between different properties and providers. A PNPA, or phone number porting authorisation form, gives us the authorisation to contact your current provider to arrange the transfer of your phone number across to your Truespeed service.

Porting your phone number over to Truespeed, means your copper phone line and any broadband services the phone line uses will be deactivated.

But don’t worry. When you switch to us, you won’t be without an internet connection, as the porting process takes place after we activate your Truespeed service.

We have a number of great call packages and bolt-ons to allow you make the most of your phone line. They may even save you a bit of money too.

If you’re struggling to get good Wi-Fi signal in some rooms of your home there are a few things you can try.

We don’t offer call blocking features on specific telephone numbers as part of a Truespeed service at present.

Some DECT cordless phones come with a built-in call blocking feature or ‘Call Guardian’. This gives you full control over incoming calls, the ability to confirm known callers, block nuisance calls and vet everything else.

We’d also recommend looking at the Telephone Preference Service. It’s a free service that gives you the ability to register and confirm that you don’t want to unsolicited sales and marketing telephone calls. More info on this service can be found here: https://www.tpsonline.org.uk/

To port your telephone number from your current provider to Truespeed, your existing telephone service must still be live. If it’s been canceled or ‘ceased’ we can’t port your existing phone number over to us.

So make sure you keep your phone line active and fill out a Phone Number Porting Authorisation (PNPA) form. We will then raise the porting request and be in contact with the next steps.

It usually takes around 10-15 working days to fully port your number to Truespeed. Once you’ve filled out an online Phone Number Porting Authorisation (PNPA) form and sent it to us, we get the ball rolling once your service is live and notify you when it’s done.

Yes. There’s a one-off fee of £15 including VAT. We’ll add this charge to your first invoice.

It’s important to check with your landline phone supplier to ensure your devices will work in the event of a power outage. It is unlikely cordless phones will work. We suggest that customers use a corded phone and run regular tests to ensure it will work in the event of a power outage.

Your UPS device will last for 1 hour, giving you time to make calls to emergency services or your caregiver. Please note that using your broadband service during a power outage will drain your UPS battery faster. It’s only intended to offer back up to your phone line service.

It’s important that only your Truespeed router and FTU should be plugged into the UPS device, and it should not be used to power any other unauthorised devices as this may shorten the time you have to make calls.

A UPS provides a temporary power supply for your broadband router and landline, allowing them to remain operational during a power outage.

A UPS offers a similar service to a battery backup unit. It is a rechargeable device that you plug in your Truespeed router & FTU (Fibre termination unit).

We’re not able to offer custom payment dates at the moment, but this is something we’ll be looking to offer in the future. For now, all customers are charged on the third working day of the month.

If you currently have a Redcare security service from BT, or any similar BT security alarm product, we’ll need you to move this to another available line before you switch to Truespeed. This needs to happen before we submit the port request to your current call provider.

If it’s not moved or cancelled, the porting request will be rejected. That means we can’t port your current phone number.

Please note: Redcare security services from BT, and any similar BT security alarm product, will only be compatible with a BT-supplied phone service.
