AltComms

A modern telecoms company built on experience, trust and straightforward advice.

Alternative Comms provides reliable telecoms and connectivity solutions for homes and businesses across the UK, combining technical expertise with personal service and honest advice. 

Our Story

Built from real industry experience

Alternative Comms was built with a simple approach in mind: provide reliable telecoms and connectivity solutions without the confusion, unnecessary upselling or technical jargon that customers often experience elsewhere.

Our story goes back further than most. The business was originally established in 1987, shortly after the privatisation of British Telecom opened the industry to independent providers. Its founder, a former BT project manager who led the recabling of Oxford University’s city centre colleges and departments, went on to supply and install telephone systems, voice and data cabling and repair services for organisations including Oxfordshire County Council, Oxford University, local health authorities, hospitals and schools across Oxfordshire and nationwide.

Over the decades that followed, the company built a reputation for high standards and flexibility, often recommended by past clients, architects and consultants, with projects ranging from large country estates across the UK to prestigious sites such as the V&A Museum and Exeter Cathedral. Now in its second generation of family ownership, that same hands-on knowledge and attention to detail runs through everything we do.

As technology continues to evolve, modern homes and businesses rely more than ever on stable internet, reliable phone systems, strong WiFi coverage, audio-visual and video conferencing, and secure connectivity. From the outset, we have embraced new technologies as they arrive, and our role is to make those systems simple, dependable and properly supported.

Whether it’s a home office setup, a rural broadband or Starlink solution, a complete business phone system or a large-scale networking installation, we take the time to understand what customers actually need and recommend solutions that work for both today and the future.

Our standard has always been simple: would we accept this work in our own home or business? If the answer is no, it isn’t good enough.

Helping you communicate effectively

Our Approach

A more personal approach to telecoms

We believe telecoms should feel straightforward, reliable and properly supported.

That means offering honest advice, responsive support and solutions designed around each customer rather than pushing unnecessary packages or overcomplicated systems.

Every property and business has different requirements. A family home, remote worker, school, office or multi-site organisation will all require different levels of connectivity and infrastructure. Our approach is always tailored to the way our customers actually use technology day to day.

Customers choose Alternative Comms because they value having a trusted provider they can speak to directly — someone with genuine technical knowledge who understands the importance of reliable communication and connectivity.
