What is automated switching?

Automated switching, also known as One Touch Switch, is a new feature that simplifies the process of switching broadband provider. With just one request, your new provider handles the entire switch, including notifying your current provider and coordinating the transition, so you don’t have to worry about the details. When you decide to switch to Grain, simply sign up for our service. We’ll then manage the entire process of switching from your current provider, including cancelling your old service and ensuring a smooth transition to Grain with minimal disruption to your internet connection.

Can I have Wi-Fi without a phone line?

Yes! With our Full Fibre connection, you can absolutely have internet without forking out for a home phone line. Why not try switching to mobile calls to save money? Or call over the internet using Facetime or WhatsApp, and save on minutes, too.

What type of broadband network does Grain use?

Grain owns and operates an independent Full Fibre network, also known as Fibre to the Premises (FTTP). Unlike older copper-based broadband services, Full Fibre delivers fibre optic connectivity directly to your property, providing faster and more reliable internet. Here at Grain, we do not rent lines or share cable capacity with BT Openreach, Sky, or Virgin Media. We trench our own dedicated, 100% pure fibre infrastructure straight down your street and directly to your property boundary. This allows us to provide symmetrical upload and download speeds and service that won’t slow down during peak usage times.
