Frequently asked questions
What happens when my broadband goes down?
A backup connection can take over so essential devices stay online, rather than your whole home losing internet at once.
Does the switch to 4G/5G happen automatically?
On a properly configured failover setup, yes — the switch happens automatically without you needing to do anything.
Do I need a SIM/data plan?
Yes, a 4G/5G backup connection needs its own SIM and data plan. We'll advise on a suitable option as part of the install.
Will all my devices stay online?
Not necessarily everything at once — the setup is built around keeping your genuinely essential devices connected, which we'll agree with you beforehand.
Is 5G always better than 4G?
Not always — it depends on coverage at your property. We'll assess what's actually available before recommending either.
Can internet backup guarantee uninterrupted connectivity?
No. Internet backup can improve resilience but cannot guarantee uninterrupted connectivity — mobile networks can also have outages or poor coverage in some locations.
