“Project Stratum has modernised our business and the difference has been phenomenal”.

The family run business first became aware of the Hyperfast NI network after seeing a branded vehicle on their road, prompting them to check their availability with Full Fibre supplier, Fibrus.
“As soon as the connection became available, I took a service with Fibrus for our own home. I was very pleased with this service and therefore decided to bring full fibre to the business.”
Despite trying other providers, and other methods of connectivity, Joshua says nothing came close to the speeds available through Full Fibre.
“We were offered speeds that were much faster than anything that had been available before Project Stratum. We previously paid expensive bills for multiple copper line connections which provided download speeds less than 4mbps. We then attempted to operate using satellite broadband, which was an improvement, as we were then experiencing download speeds around 15-20mbps. However, these speeds remained inadequate to carry out extensive work planned to the website, or to regularly update longer video content.
Since receiving a full fibre upgrade, we have been able to install a cloud phone system and have a static IP, and are able to upload more photos quickly to our website and social media. Faster speeds have allowed us to do a complete overhaul on our website, carrying out extensive changes which previously would have caused us tremendous difficulty.
As well as being able to invest in the business itself, they’ve also been able to use the Full Fibre connection to help grow their brand in new ways.
“We now also have the ability to upload longer videos on our social media sites like TikTok and YouTube with ease, which allows us to display our stock in the virtual space and advertise promotions such as Black Friday sales. For us, uploading any form of video content once required us to hotspot our devices from our mobile phones, whereas now we can depend on a reliable and efficient full fibre broadband service in all areas of the business, for a quarter of the price we were paying beforehand.
Project Stratum has modernised our business and the difference has been phenomenal. We had a great customer experience with sign up and installation running smoothly, and I love that the company is locally based. We would not hesitate to recommend Fibrus full fibre.”
