What do I get with Gigaclear broadband?
Gigaclear is known for providing no-frills broadband. That means no TV bundle offers, and as it uses its own lines to deliver your internet, no need for line rental either, or even a landline itself.
What you will get though, is a high-speed, reliable internet connection that you may not otherwise be able to get in your rural location.
All Gigaclear customers will be provided with a Linksys WiFi router, which will connect your devices to the internet. The Linksys router is a powerful device, but to make the most of it you'll need to get the Smart WiFi node, which comes with the Ultrafast 300, 600, and 900 packages.
The Smart WiFi node will boost your coverage and signal to every part of your home, while it also allows you to monitor your devices, set up parental controls and set up a guest WiFi hotspot.
