Bonded Broadband in the UK for Charities & Non-Profits
Aggregated broadband speeds with built-in redundancy for charitable businesses.
Combined Speed
Bond two or more broadband lines together to achieve aggregate speeds significantly faster than any single connection.
Built-In Resilience
If one line fails, traffic automatically redistributes across the remaining lines — your internet stays up.
Cost-Effective
Achieve near-leased-line speeds at a fraction of the cost, making it ideal for businesses in areas without fibre.
Many UK charities operate from locations where leased lines are not available or prohibitively expensive. Standard broadband is too slow and unreliable for Salesforce Nonprofit, Donorfy, and Raiser's Edge, leaving staff and volunteers frustrated by unreliable connectivity disrupting fundraising campaigns and donor communications and unable to work productively.
Cloudswitched delivers bonded broadband solutions for UK charities, combines multiple broadband lines into a single, faster connection with built-in redundancy, ideal for locations where leased lines are unavailable. If one line fails, the remaining lines keep your staff and volunteers connected. If all lines are healthy, you enjoy combined speeds that transform the performance of Salesforce Nonprofit, Donorfy, and Raiser's Edge.
How it works for Charities businesses
A clear, structured process from consultation to ongoing support.
1
Optimised Line Selection
We source lines from multiple providers where possible, ensuring diverse infrastructure and maximising the total bandwidth available at your address.
2
Professional Bonding Equipment
Enterprise bonding appliances aggregate traffic intelligently, distributing sessions across lines for optimal performance and handling line failures gracefully.
3
Single Point of Support
Rather than dealing with multiple ISPs and a bonding vendor separately, Cloudswitched manages everything as one cohesive service with a single support contact.
Bonded Broadband in the UK for Charities
Aggregated Bandwidth
Multiple broadband lines bonded into a single connection deliver combined speeds far exceeding any individual line, giving your staff and volunteers the bandwidth they need for Salesforce Nonprofit, Donorfy, and Raiser's Edge and donor records, safeguarding files, and grant applications transfers.
Built-In Redundancy
If one bonded line fails, the remaining lines maintain your connection automatically. Your charitable operations continue with reduced but functional bandwidth rather than a complete outage.
Leased Line Alternative
Bonded broadband delivers near-leased-line performance at a fraction of the cost, making it ideal for charities in locations where dedicated circuits are unavailable or too expensive.
Scalable Performance
Start with two bonded lines and add more as your charitable bandwidth demands grow. Each additional line increases both speed and resilience without replacing existing infrastructure.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bonded broadband combines multiple individual broadband lines into a single, faster connection using specialist hardware. For charities, this means faster access to Salesforce Nonprofit, Donorfy, and Raiser's Edge, smoother donor records, safeguarding files, and grant applications transfers, and built-in redundancy if one line fails.
Speeds depend on the number and type of lines bonded. Two standard FTTC lines deliver up to 160Mbps combined, while bonding four lines can reach 320Mbps. For most charities, this provides more than sufficient bandwidth for Salesforce Nonprofit, Donorfy, and Raiser's Edge and daily operations.
While a leased line offers guaranteed uncontended bandwidth, bonded broadband provides excellent real-world performance with built-in redundancy at significantly lower cost. For many charities, bonded broadband is the pragmatic choice, especially where leased lines are unavailable.
Bonded broadband for charities typically costs £80 to £200 per month for two to four bonded lines, including the bonding hardware. This is substantially less than a leased line while delivering competitive speeds for charitable applications.
