Airband Community Internet

Airband Community Internet, founded in 2009, is an independent internet service provider that delivers superfast broadband to homes, businesses, and industries in rural and hard-to-reach areas of the UK. We also work on community broadband projects.

We operate wireless and fibre networks in regions including The Midlands, Shropshire, Herefordshire, Devon, Somerset, North, and South Wales. We partner with organizations like the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, BDUK, local authorities, and communities to build infrastructure and close the UK’s digital divide.

Our services include various fibre broadband packages (e.g., Fibre 150, 300, 600, 900 Mbps) and fixed wireless broadband (e.g., AirSpeed 40, 150, 400, 1000 Mbps), all with unlimited usage. We provide a Nokia WiFi 6 mesh router with our services. Other services include Airband Talk (telephone calls over broadband), WiFi network expansion (Nokia Mesh Nodes), and F-secure powered multi-device security. We also offer business broadband up to 900Mbps. Our business solutions include wireless building-to-building links, leased lines, fibre to the cabinet, and point-to-point/multi-point networking.

Our mission is simple: to provide the best broadband, anywhere. We’re driven to bring superfast broadband to communities, people, and businesses in hard-to-reach areas, aiming to eliminate the digital divide.

Our values are:

• Friendly: Helpful and approachable in all interactions.
• Specialist: Developing expertise and innovating as a team.
• Responsive: Listening, being flexible, and delivering on our promises.

We are a telecommunications company with 201-500 employees. We believe our team is outstanding and our culture is forward-thinking. Our board of directors, including our CEO, Technical Director, and Chairman, works to create a culture that attracts talented individuals.

We value what potential employees can do more than what they have done, offering trainee and apprenticeship schemes to develop skills. Roles range from office-based project management and technical support to field engineering and sales. Our operational leadership oversees areas like Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) network operations, platform and data architecture, network infrastructure, data engineering, and new product introduction. We foster an environment of innovation, continuous improvement, and making a difference in digital accessibility.

We offer 25 days of paid leave per year, rising to 30 days with service, plus bank holidays. We contribute 5% to your pension, with a minimum 3% employee contribution. We support hybrid working, blending remote and office work. You also get free broadband if you’re in an eligible coverage area, and 20% off monthly line rental on EE phone, tablet, SIM only, or mobile broadband plans.

Other perks include Cycle to Work and Tech schemes, healthcare, medical insurance, dental care, and a health cash fund. Some benefits depend on your length of service. You can also access Airshare, our employee discount platform, which offers savings on everyday shopping, groceries, and holidays, potentially saving you up to £1,000 annually. We run a customer referral bonus and a refer-a-friend reward scheme.
