During these difficult and challenging times, I wanted to keep you up-to-date on how we are responding to the COVID-19 crisis in our communities.

We have two main priorities.

First, we are focused on ensuring the safety and well-being of our employees and customers.

  • We are closely monitoring developments and adhering to guidelines from global health authorities and local governments.
  • We have expanded work-from-home plans, introduced strong international and domestic travel restrictions, postponed large gatherings, and increased health measures within our offices.
  • And across Europe, we’re following government and medical advice to put safety first when installing or servicing our customers’ connections, or serving people in our stores.
  • We’re also doing as much as we can to make customers’ lives easier – in some cases raising all internet speeds to at least 100 Mbps, or relaxing data limits or giving customers educational content for free.

Second, we are committed to providing the highest-quality video, voice and broadband services to our customers and communities who need connectivity now more than ever.

  • We provide critical connections to families, friends and loved ones, as well as the wider community of business, government, universities and hospitals.
  • Our networks are fast and reliable and are capable of supporting expected broadband and traffic demands of wide-scale home working and school closures.
  • A large portion of our network today is already built to provide Gigabit speeds, ultra-high capacity, reliability, and resiliency for our customers.

Although we’ve never seen a crisis like this before, it is encouraging to see communities come together in ways we previously never thought possible. We remain dedicated to supporting you through these unprecedented times.
