That Friday Fibre Feeling ?
Homes and businesses in Glasgow are now able to future-proof their homes, access faster and more reliable broadband thanks to a new digital network rollout by CityFibre, the UK’s largest independent provider of full fibre infrastructure.
They started the build back in 2021, it made the city one of the first locations in the UK. Since then a lot more of the city has been covered along with the rollout of Thornliebank, Newton Mearns, Clarkston and Cambuslang. In the north of the city, work is now progressing in Gilshochill, Blackhill and Clydebank.
Paul Wakefield, CityFibre’s Senior Partnership Manager for Glasgow said:?“Strong digital connectivity has become the cornerstone of our daily lives, so we feel incredibly proud to be transforming the city’s access to lightning-fast and super reliable broadband.”

FullFibre Ltd and Digital Infrastructure to Merge UK FTTP Networks. Two UK builders of FTTP based broadband ISP networks FullFIbre Ltd(Fibre Heroes) and Digital Infrastrucure(BeFibre) announced their intention to create a single wholesale company and a single wholesale platform.
FullFibre Ltd had been aiming to extend their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network to cover “at least” 500,000 premises by 2025, and their build is currently targeting 80+ towns across parts of 11 different counties (e.g. Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Herefordshire and Gloucestershire). But so far only around 35 of those are active, and their rollout progress remains unclear (in Jan 2023 they claimed to be passing 10,000 premises per month).

Oliver Helm, CEO at FullFibre, said: “Both Digital Infrastructure and FullFibre have built exceptionally skilled teams, with complementary capabilities. Together, we will accelerate the pace at which we roll out and connect customers to our fibre network. The merged organisation will sit in the top tier of well-established, alternative networks. With this substantive scale, we will continue our single-minded focus on delivering exceptional network infrastructure to our ISPs, and their customers and communities in turn”.?
