New UK Broadband ISP NuFibre Adopts WiFi 6 Home Routers from Genexis
New internet provider NuFibre, which was recently established by the existing owners of Yayzi Broadband (here), have signed an agreement to adopt broadband routers and mesh WiFi extenders from European network kit manufacturer Genexis. The ISP will thus become the first such UK provider to deploy the Genexis Elite HX30 residential gateway (router) and Home CX30 WiFi extender.
The Genexis Elite HX30 is a WiFi 6 device (peak wireless speeds of 3Gbps) with support for 2.5Gbps LAN/WAN speeds, while the Home CX30 supports the same WiFi performance but is limited to 1Gbps on its LAN/WAN ports. We’ll put some more specs on the Elite HX30 below, but you can also click the links in this paragraph to download the full data sheets (PDF).
Both devices are said to be equipped with essential features such as real-time remote management through TR-369/USP.

At present NuFibre still seems to be in somewhat of a trial launch phase, although some of Yayzi’s broadband customers have recently also reported being offered NuFibre branded packages.
Martin Gardner, NuFibre CEO, said:
“We’re excited to partner with Genexis and the innovative solutions they bring to the market. The HX30 and CX30 routers are not only well-designed and high performing, but also offer exceptional flexibility from core infrastructure to end-user delivery. This combination delivers more than just a leading product; it reflects a shared commitment to continuous innovation and development. As our teams work together seamlessly, it truly feels like Genexis is an extension of the NuFibre team.”

I don’t see how this gets covered but the obvious slamming is going unnoticed. NuFibre are illegally moving customers from Yayzi to NuFibre which was posted on their forum which funnily enough has now been deleted.
Looks like someone has actually archived it so good on them https://web.archive.org/web/20250910121247/https://talk.yayzi.co.uk/t/yayzi-network-to-nufibre/2890
Also noticed others in various places have had this happen so think this needs to be investigated.
Depending on the contract it’s not necessarily against the rules for customers to be sold or moved over — but they can expect at least the same level of service, and the original prices to be honoured.
The NuFibre network using PPPoE is a kicker. One of the selling points of Yayzi was that they had DHCP. IMHO that’s a material change.
While we set up Nufibre of which we can now offer both PPPOE and DHCP, we are also upgrading our equipment to allow for better service and network, including intended DHCP,IPv6 which is already live etc. Customers that have moved have been made fully aware and agreed before proceeding, this is not a calculated move of customers, we are maintaining the customer base and especially to those that are moving address and facilitating customers requests.
I’m a bit worried about trusting my internet stuff to a CEO who primarily used to be a carpenter, especially since he doesn’t seem to know much about two-factor authentication.
It’s a little sus that Yayzi is trying to get around the API ban by starting Nufibre, especially since they owe money to Cityfibre and their network provider.
I wonder if making customers manually switch over is a way to handle a tricky situation.
What the UK really needs is another ISP retailer that mimics every other small retail provider in existence.
