Southwold with its pier, lighthouse and beach huts is a popular slice of slow old British seaside holidays, but now has two different full networks across most of the town. Trooli appeared first in April 2024 and in the last week we’ve been seeing lots of Openreach FTTP become available. The Openreach rollout appears to […]

Olilo which is currently pushing hard to establish itself in the Prosumer broadband space and specifically those chasing low and stable latency has agreed a partnership that will see its products selling in Freedom Fibre FTTP areas. At the time of writing this news item, the Olilo website is still only showing package availability for […]

nexfibre has arrived in Alnwick, and it joins Openreach, Alncom and GoFibre as the fourth full fibre option for residents and businesses in the rural town. We expect to fill in many of the gaps once we’ve verified service availability across the town, so while the map is showing the nexfibre footprint at just the […]

The nexfibre rollout on behalf of Virgin Media O2 has rolled out to Inverkip in Inverclyde and looks to be the first full fibre option for many homes in the town. Inverkip is not the only coastal town along the A78 to see nexfibre rollout to it, but the town is the latest we’ve added […]

This means that a service advertised at £25/month will increase to £29/month, reflecting an annual increase of £48 (up from £36), at a time when many households are tightening their budgets. This follows […]

A busy week for the various flavours of full fibre in the Virgin Media footprint. Our maps and checkers are now showing some 2,011,124 premises where nexfibre XGS-PON is available i.e. standard Virgin Media speeds but with a 2 Gbps option and symmetrical speeds as an option on the slower products. The increased footprint for […]

The Internet Services’ Providers Association (ISPA) has this evening hosted its annual awards at a gala dinner at the City Central at the HAC in Central London.
