We believe in choice, and we know that different customers have different needs when it comes to router hardware. That’s why we offer a choice of FRITZ!Box router models. File Sanctuary broadband customers get significant discounts on these routers, and they’re yours to keep forever. We don’t lock them to our network either, so if you want to use them with a different ISP in future, you’re free to do so — although we hope you’ll be delighted with our service!
Setup couldn’t be simpler: just plug them in to your File Sanctuary broadband, wait 10 minutes, and they’ll set themselves up automatically with your broadband connection details.

We strongly recommend using one of our FRITZ!Box routers, as they’re battle-tested and we know that they work well on our network to get the best possible speeds. If you use our routers, our support team can also provide extended support for your router even as far as helping you with things such as changing your Wi-Fi settings, configuring port forwarding, helping you set up your VoIP service, and more.
You might have bought your own router or have one from your existing ISP, and you may be wondering if you can use it on our network. We offer a standards-based service and we don’t do anything to block third party routers. Provided your existing router is compatible with the technical standards relevant to the service you’re ordering from us, then you may find your existing router will work with our services. There are some caveats however:
Although delivered over traditional copper wiring, SOGFast does not require or include phone service. If you currently have a landline and would like to keep this, we can move your number to our Hosted VoIP service.

FTTC / SOGEA / G.fast / SOGFast Migration (18 month contract)If you wish to migrate your Openreach FTTC, SOGEA, G.fast or SOGFast service to us from another Openreach provider (or convert from another provider's FTTC, SOGEA, G.fast or SOGFast), there is no charge to do so, subject to an 18 month minimum contract. You must already have an active Openreach service to migrate. Stopped Openreach lines, or migrations from other networks would be new installs.

Cease ChargeIf you cease a broadband connection our carrier applies this fee to disconnect SOGFast service. You do not have to pay this if you're simply switching to another provider (unless that provider is using LLU). You do have to pay this if you cease your SOGFast service, or if your new provider is using LLU.
