There is wonderful news for anyone looking to upgrade their home or business internet connection in the UK. CityFibre, a leading operator of 10Gbps capable full fibre broadband, has shared some fantastic insights during a recent lecture to the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET). This presentation highlights the company's impressive progress and their commitment to connecting more communities across the nation.
The network is currently covering 4.7 million UK premises, with 4.5 million of these ready for service. This expansion is part of a long-term aspiration to eventually reach up to 8 million premises, which would cover approximately 30% of the UK. Even more encouraging is the rapid growth in customer adoption. CityFibre recently revealed that their take-up has surged to a total of 848,000 customers. This represents a fantastic 64% increase compared to the 518,000 customers recorded at the same time last year, showing just how popular high-speed full fibre has become.
For those considering a switch, there is excellent news regarding pricing. The presentation highlighted that CityFibre's wholesale full fibre broadband products are approximately 40% cheaper than comparable products from other major providers. This value varies across different speed tiers, offering significant savings for consumers. For instance, at speeds of 160Mbps, the cost is 24% lower, while at 1000Mbps (1Gbps), savings reach 37%. Even for Multi-Gigabit speeds, the pricing remains highly competitive, ensuring that faster internet is accessible and affordable.
These developments are supported by a strong partnership with well-known UK ISPs such as Vodafone, TalkTalk, Zen Internet, and Sky Broadband, meaning there are plenty of options available depending on your local area. With such positive momentum and a clear focus on delivering high-quality, cost-effective connectivity, the future of UK broadband looks brighter than ever.
