TOTSCo has announced ahead of its weekly statistics update that Monday 13th January 2025 set a new record with 9,500 switch requests on a single day.

Eight Advisory has today published its report looking at full fibre take-up across the five largest UK broadband bands and various players in the alt-net market.
