nexfibre, the joint venture between InfraVia Capital Partners, Liberty Global and Telefónica, has reached its first two million premises in just two years of operation.
It says the milestone makes it the second largest alternative network operator in the UK.
The company has been assisted in the build by Virgin Media O2 as it looks to deliver full-fibre network connectivity to previously underserved suburban and semi-rural premises.
Rajiv Datta, Chief Executive Officer of nexfibre, said the company provided a genuine alternative to Openreach. “Reaching two million premises is testament to the dedication of our team and the support of our partners and investors. It reflects our commitment to building a network that prioritises underserved communities and creates a real and lasting impact – most of all by driving economic growth and improving living standards across the UK.
nexfibre is currently the only fibre provider of significant scale that exclusively uses 10gbps XGS-PON.
Virgin Media O2 is offering speeds of up to 2Gbps across the nexfibre network.
