"When our old provider closed down with very short notice, Coconnect pulled out all the stops to make sure we were up and running on a brand new connection with an on-site filter with zero downtime. They listened to what we needed, and provided expert advice, customer service, and after sales support. They’re absolutely brilliant and I would recommend them every time."

"We are moving all of our broadband from local county council to Coconnect, but to date I could not be happier.
