Full fibre ISP Giganet is helping its staff as the country faces its cost of living crisis this Christmas.

As well as a cost-of-living payment to all employees earlier this year, excluding executives, the ISP is looking after its people over the festive period by investing in financial planning and health workshops, nutrition workshops and individual health checks for all interested employees at its recent wellbeing days.

The company has committed to paying the Real Living Wage, and, as a result, has uplifted salaries across its Customer Service teams and junior roles. All employees have also received a Christmas bonus payment in the form of a £150 shopping voucher, in addition to rounding off the year with festive gatherings in Fareham and Reading.

Giganet turns nests on Cuckoo

Posted on September 6, 2022 by - News

Giganet has reversed the course of nature and stolen Cuckoo from the market.

The company announced  that it was writing a cheque for Cuckoo as part of its UK growth plans.

Since launching its fibre broadband service to households just over 12 months ago, Giganet has seen its reach extend to over nine million homes across the UK.

Giganet said that both it and Cuckoo will work together to disrupt the UK broadband market by prioritising service and customer experience as the rollout of full-fibre accelerates over the next few years.

Both providers have been vocal against ‘loyalty taxes’ and price hikes, pledging to charge loyal customers the same as new customers, and opting not to increase charges mid-contract, with prices currently frozen until 2023.
