Traffic Management

Effects on Other Services

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  1. Wireless modems are reliant on power. This means the landline and devices such as medical alarms or cordless phones won't work in the event of a power cut. So, it’s important to have a mobile phone handy for emergencies. If you or someone at your place, don't have a means to contact 111 during a power cut and are at particular risk of needing to call 111, you can register as a Vulnerable Consumer. If your application is successful, we will provide you with a way to call 111 during a power cut, at no cost to you. You can apply by filling out an application form. Find out more about Vulnerable Consumers
  2. If you have existing services you’re planning to use with your broadband connection, you should check with the provider of those services to make sure they’ll work. This could include medical alerts, monitored home alarms, and interactive features of Sky TV. Advise the provider of those services that your Lite Wireless service is delivered over wireless broadband (4G) technology to ensure their service is compatible with wireless technology
  3. If you want to make calls from a landline (including 111 calls), you’ll need to sign up for Lite Wireless with a landline. Your landline will run over wireless. 
  4. If you’ve ordered Lite Wireless Broadband with a landline, it’s possible your existing landline will be disconnected for a few hours when your Lite Wireless Broadband connection is set up.
