What makes our Openreach SOGEA broadband great?

Available to 95% of UK premises

SOGEA is based on FTTC technology, which is widely available and the vast majority of UK premises can use this technology. Find out if SOGEA is available at your address using our broadband checker.

No mid-contract price increases

Unlike many other ISPs, we do not increase prices during your contract term. The amount listed is the price you pay throughout your contract term, no unpleasant price increase surprises.

SOGEA download speeds up to 80Mbps

Our SOGEA connections provide an average speed of 67Mbps. Depending on your line condition, distance from the exchange, and cabinet, you might be able to get speeds as high as 80Mbps. Pop your postcode into our broadband checker to get a personalised estimate for your property.

SOGEA upload speeds up to 20Mbps

Whether you’re sending important files to colleagues, a video to YouTube, or a photo to Instagram, you want it to happen fast. Our SOGEA connections have an average upload speed of 18Mbps, with some able to go as high as 20Mbps depending on the quality of your line and the distance from the exchange and cabinet.

Unlimited downloads

There are no usage restrictions on the amount you download on your FTTP connection, no time-of-day restrictions, and no fair usage policies, just a promise that we’ll do our best to keep our network running fast.

Unlimited uploads

Just the same as with downloads, we don’t restrict how much you can upload on your FTTP connection, and you are free to upload as much as your connection can support, at any time of the day.

IPv4 and IPv6 natively supported

We fully support both IPv4 and IPv6 on our broadband connections. You can have a dynamic IPv4 address for free, or a static IP for £2/month + VAT. A huge /48 IPv6 allocation can also be routed to you free of charge.

UK-based phone and ticket support

Our friendly support team is based in Middlesbrough, in the North East. Calls are answered by our expert staff, the very same team who handle your support tickets. Phone support hours are 10am-6pm Monday to Friday.

Choose the router you want

We let you choose from two great FRITZ!Box routers, so you can get the balance of performance vs price that’s best for you. When you buy a router from us it’s yours to keep, and we make everything as simple as possible. Just plug it in, wait 10 minutes, and it’ll set itself up automatically. No need to mess around with settings screens! Learn more about our range of FRITZ!Box routers.

Expand Wi-Fi with FRITZ!Repeaters

Have a larger property? Thick walls? Struggling with your Wi-Fi dropping out in certain places? We’ve got the ideal solution for you. Our FRITZ!Repeater devices are specially designed to pair with our FRITZ!Box routers, providing strong Wi-Fi coverage around your home or office. They’re extremely easy to set up, but we’re on hand to help if you need. Learn more about our FRITZ!Repeater devices.

Our FRITZ!Box routers provide amazing performance at a great price

We believe in choice, and we know that different customers have different needs when it comes to router hardware. That’s why we offer a choice of FRITZ!Box router models. File Sanctuary broadband customers get significant discounts on these routers, and they’re yours to keep forever. We don’t lock them to our network either, so if you want to use them with a different ISP in future, you’re free to do so — although we hope you’ll be delighted with our service!

Setup couldn’t be simpler: just plug them in to your File Sanctuary broadband, wait 10 minutes, and they’ll set themselves up automatically with your broadband connection details.
