Cuckoo partners with ApTap to make switching broadband a breeze 

Let’s be honest, switching broadband isn’t always at the top of anyone’s to-do list. But we think it should be much, much easier. So we’ve teamed up with ApTap to make switching broadband as simple as checking your bank balance. 

We've teamed up with Britain's leading walking charity, to help protect and improve access to Britain’s much-loved trails, footpaths, and green spaces.

Through Cuckoo’s Community Referral Scheme, every new customer who signs up using the Ramblers' exclusive referral link will trigger a £100 donation directly to the charity*. This funding will go towards keeping footpaths clear, maintaining woodland trails, and improving access to walking routes across the Britain.

Because whether you’re a weekend wanderer, a countryside explorer, or just looking for a reason to take a screen break, walking is something we should all have easy access to. By supporting the Ramblers, we’re making sure Britain’s trails stay open for everyone.

Cuckoo’s Unwired campaign champions the power of both connection and disconnection. The best way to switch off isn’t always through a screen, but by stepping outside and reconnecting with nature. Through our partnership with the Ramblers, we’re making it easier for more people to enjoy the physical and mental benefits of walking while helping to preserve and enhance Britain’s cherished landscapes.

How Cuckoo’s Community Referral Scheme works

This partnership is part of our wider mission to support grassroots and national organisations through our Community Referral Scheme, making fundraising simple and impactful:

1. Ramblers receive a unique referral link.

2. Supporters sign up for Cuckoo’s full fibre broadband.

3. For every switch, Cuckoo donates £100 to the Ramblers.*

It’s as easy as that. Better broadband, better walking routes, and a better-connected Britain.

Cuckoo Broadband offers full fibre speeds, transparent pricing, and award-winning customer service. And now, switching to Cuckoo isn’t just good for your connection. It’s good for Britain’s walking routes too.

And, thanks to something called One Touch Switching making a change is easier than lacing your favourite walking boots.

We’re always looking to team up with like-minded organisations who share our passion for connection, whether digital or in the great outdoors. If you’d like to explore partnership opportunities, our team would love to hear from you.

*Terms and conditions apply. See our website for full details.

At Cuckoo, we believe the best connections aren’t just digital. They’re the ones we make with the world around us. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce an exciting new partnership with Ramblers.

And yes, today we’re talking specifically about women because of GirlCode. But when I say, "reflect society," I mean across the board: race, sexual orientation, disabilities, neurodiversity – the whole spectrum. 

What does ‘reflect society’ really mean? 

Here’s where it gets tricky. Because it’s easy to assume I mean a perfect 50/50 gender split, right? After all, according to the Office for National Statistics, 49% of the UK population is female. But that’s not the full story. Should we expect half of our engineering team to be women? Not quite. 

And here’s why: Bath University’s research shows that out of roughly 400,000 software engineers in the UK, only 17% identify as women. So that ideal pipeline I just mentioned? In reality, it’s largely male (83% to be exact). 

Now, let me pause for a moment – because at Cuckoo, we believe in merit-based hiring. We’ve got an outstanding engineering team, all of whom earned their spot through a rigorous process of competency-based interviews, values assessments, and task-based challenges. And yes, they’re mostly men. 

But because we know that the best teams don’t look, sound or think like a monolith, Cuckoo is committed to creating the best, most diverse team it can. Which is where our company value of ‘we are different’ comes in. 

So what’s our role as an inclusive hiring team? Well, for starters, it’s about being proactive. It’s not enough to simply post a job and wait. We’ve been committed to inclusive hiring for years – blinding CVs to avoid unconscious bias, using mixed interview panels, and ensuring our job descriptions are inclusive. But there’s always more we can do. 

That’s why I’m thrilled to share that we’re partnering with GirlCode, a platform dedicated to helping women break into engineering roles. Because again, at a minimum, our team should and must reflect the society we live in. But if I’m honest, we want to make it reflect society as it could be too. 

We’ve teamed up with Cuckoo because, like us, they’re all about making things better. Just as they refuse to accept the old broadband industry norms of sneaky prices and poor service, GirlCode trains women to pursue careers in coding and tech, to make for a more mixed, diverse and effective workforce. 

And by supporting GirlCode, Cuckoo are giving those women more opportunities to help shape and determine the industry’s future.

When I’m (constructively) challenged about our diversity practices here at Cuckoo – whether it’s by senior leaders, candidates, or colleagues – my answer is always the same: it’s our responsibility to make sure our talent pipeline reflects the society we live in today. 

Why partnering with GirlCode is brilliant and important

Their 70,000 members already enjoy discounts on insurance, travel, and sports gear. 

And now, they can add Cuckoo's ultrafast full fibre, and brilliant UK-based support to the list.

A 'wheelie' good deal for Cycling UK Members

Cycling UK members will get an exclusive £50 bill credit when they sign up for Cuckoo's full-fibre broadband. 

Plus, for every new sign-up, Cycling UK will get an additional £75 to help support their incredible work to make cycling safer, more accessible, and fun for everyone.

Big savings for members, vital funds for Cycling UK. Everyone wins.

At Cuckoo, we’re all about connection. And, sometimes, disconnection. Our "Unwired" campaign champions swapping screen-time for green-time. And what better way to switch off than by hitting the open road on two wheels?

Cycling is about freedom, fresh air, and feeling good - things the cycling community knows better than anyone. That’s why we’re super excited to be backing a charity that’s making it easier for more people to ride.

Fuelling feel-good initiatives across the UK

The partnership forms part of Cuckoo’s Community Referral Scheme  which helps raise much-needed funds for national and grassroot groups across the country. It’s simple:

1.	Organizations get a unique referral link.

3.	The organisation gets a donation for every switch.

From getting more kids into sport to keeping community hubs alive, every sign-up is a win for the causes that matter most.

At Cuckoo, we believe in the power of connection beyond the internet, and we want to help communities and charities nationwide grow as we expand our own footprint. 

This scheme lets us channel success directly back into communities, fuelling feel-good initiatives across the UK.

It’s not the first time we’ve backed a team pushing boundaries - we’re also proudly sponsoring British Bobsleigh's Team Baird, helping them power towards Winter Olympic glory.
