FullFibre Limited
FullFibre Limited are currently building a wholesale fibre-only network to 1 million premises by 2025. We focus on ‘forgotten’ market towns and areas that might otherwise be left behind by the national FTTP rollout. Our Wholesale Only, Fibre Only approach provides a future proofed, competitive marketplace to both ISPs and consumers, that is key to unlocking the technology-lead, flexible working economy. As we invest millions of pounds into these market towns, our new fibre infrastructure will help to revitalise businesses, drive economic growth and unlock social mobility where traditional copper services have frustrated progress.
