📣 We are delighted to share that our network now reaches just under 1.3 million premises across the UK! 🎉 As our CEO Rajiv Datta said, we are committed to providing a nationwide alternative network that empowers more people and communities to participate in the digital revolution, with our update also detailing our planned build locations for 2025 and early 2026. This includes significant coverage in Eastbourne, Weymouth, Nantwich and Shropshire, and large parts of North Wales. We wouldn’t be able to achieve all of this without the hard work of our team, build partners Virgin Media O2, and of course, our investors InfraVia Capital Partners, Liberty Global and Telefónica. Check out the report below to learn more on our progress to date, and where we're headed next👇 https://lnkd.in/gdjpJptX

Our CEO Rajiv Datta recently visited our network build sites in Wokingham, Berkshire, meeting the local Virgin Media O2 build partners and Lanes Infrastructure contractors, while helping our own Jacob Feasey with the meticulous auditing process.   It was a great visit, highlighting what is at the core of all our work: energy, enthusiasm, and pride in our high-quality network.

Our CEO Rajiv Datta spoke at ISPA UK’s Business Summit alongside Andrew Kernahan, Ana Baide, Richard Allwood, Tim Creswick and Wil Wadsworth on the evolution of the fibre market. UK connectivity is at a crossroads. Though the emergence of altnets has injected much-needed competition into the market, historical underinvestment means the UK lags behind other developed economies on full-fibre broadband. Rajiv Datta said: I firmly believe that by prioritising competition, investment and innovation, policymakers can foster the development of a dynamic, consumer-centric telecoms market that will power the UK’s digital future. https://lnkd.in/eexYmnMw

In its current form, it’s apparent that the UK fibre market is unsustainable. Alongside Will Creedy, Jonathan Paines, James Harraway, Oliver Bradley and James Barford at ISPA UK’s Business Summit, our Chief Development Officer, Giles Rowbotham highlighted how the mixture of retail and wholesale propositions with different investment horizons and capital requirements now means that market consolidation is both inevitable and necessary.

UK fibre wholesale contender nexfibre says the next UK government and regulator Ofcom must remove key obstacles to sustainable network competition to avoid a return to an Openreach-led hegemony and stasis, with nexfibre CEO Rajiv Datta stating that altnets are facing an uphill battle to present true competition to Openreach.

We are delighted to share that we have released our Platform for Progress report. Quality connectivity isn't a luxury, it is a fundamental need that should be accessible to all.

Today’s report highlights that what comes next matters. All of us with a stake in the market have a role to play in helping to shape a bright future for our industry and the UK’s digital revolution.
