Fast, reliable broadband across Lancashire, Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Merseyside, and Cumbria. ## The North West Broadband Problem Rural properties across Wigan, Bolton, Preston, Lancaster, and beyond face the same frustration: BT promised fibre years ago. You're stuck with 4G that drops in buildings, satellite that fails in rain, or nothing at all. The North West has difficult terrain—moorland, valleys, densely wooded areas. Running fibre through this landscape costs BT thousands per mile. They focus on towns. Your country home waits. We've installed at over 60 North West properties. We know Cumbrian fell country, Lancashire moorland, Cheshire farmland, and the valleys around Chester. We know which networks reach which locations. We know it works. ### Why Standard fibre Isn't Coming Soon - • BT's rollout prioritizes commercial viability. Rural North West areas are expensive and low-margin. - • Moorland, fell country, and valley terrain make infrastructure prohibitively costly. - • Promised dates for villages like Kendal keep slipping. Your timeline is 5+ years. ## Solutions That Work Here ### Integra Pro (Bonded 4G/5G) We bond EE and O2 (or O2 and Three, depending on your location). The North West has solid multi-network coverage in most rural areas. Typical result: 180-300Mbps combined speed, low latency, weather-independent. ### Starlink for Exposed Locations If you're on high ground with southern sky visibility, Starlink delivers up to 250Mbps. Perfect for Pennine hillside properties or Lake District cottages. We add our 4G/5G backup for reliability—Starlink SD-WAN. ### Enterprise Solutions Farms, holiday parks, and rural businesses need uptime. We offer bonded cellular with 99.5% SLA and priority support. Includes engineer support and equipment replacement. ## How We Work in the North West 1. 1. **You send coordinates** from Google Maps of your property (Wigan, Chester, Lancaster, wherever). 2. 2. **We survey.** Our team maps nearby cell towers, tests line-of-sight, identifies which networks actually reach you. 3. 3. **We recommend.** Integra Pro, Starlink, or Starlink SD-WAN based on your location and needs. 4. 4. **We install in 10 working days.** One engineer visit. Mount antenna, run cabling, test and configure. 5. 5. **You're online.** Business-grade internet, no waiting. ### Pricing Integra Pro (bonded 4G/5G) £110/month Starlink SD-WAN add-on £80/month Installation £2,200 Enterprise (SLA + priority support) £400/month No long-term contract. Cancel anytime. ## Real Installation: Lake District Area A holiday cottage business near Windermere relied on Starlink, but guests complained about latency and streaming issues. The property had strong EE signal but weak O2. We recommended Integra Pro (bonded EE and O2). Installation: one day. Result: 250Mbps combined speed, rock-solid Wi-Fi across the property, guests happy. Cost: £110/month. The business now runs online bookings, handles payments, and streams 4K video to guests without drops. ## Frequently Asked Questions ### How long does installation take? ### Do you cover my specific town in Lancashire or Cheshire? ### What happens if equipment breaks? ### Can I get speeds over 200Mbps in rural Merseyside? ### Is there a long-term contract?
