ISP Toob Connect 100,000 Customers to its UK Fibre Broadband Network

Hampshire-based alternative network builder and UK ISP toob, which has deployed a gigabit speed Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network across parts of South England and also harnesses CityFibre’s network in other areas, has today announced that they’ve connected their 100,000th customer (up from 90k on 12th June 2025).

The customer figures break down as 60,000 on their own network and more than 40,000 through their wider CityFibre partnership, which shows how much of a dramatic impact the latter agreement has had on their take-up. But that’s not too surprising when you consider that they’re currently only charging from £18 per month for symmetric speeds of 150Mbps and just £25 for 1Gbps on an 18-month term.

Just for context. Toob’s own fibre network can be largely found around the Southampton and Portsmouth areas, and also across the Aldershot, Farnborough, Fleet, Frimley, Blackwater, Yateley and Woking areas. But outside of that, they primarily harness CityFibre’s network to expand their reach. As of September 2025, the provider operates across a combined total of 28 counties and 89 towns and cities throughout England.

We should add that toob does in fact actively continue to expand their own FTTP network too, with recent deployments taking place in locations like the large Hampshire village of Portchester (here). Otherwise, we should add that the provider recently launched its complete Wi-Fi mesh extender system for customers and maintains a commitment to “no in-contract price rises“.

Nick Parbutt, toob CEO and Founder, said:

“Reaching over 100,000 customers is a fantastic achievement for all at toob and this milestone is a direct result of the dedication and hard work of each member of the team. It’s incredibly rewarding to see over 100,000 customers choose toob. We’re grateful for their trust and excited to keep building a future where our ultrafast broadband is affordable and accessible for all.”

The network operator is currently being financed through equity from funds managed and advised by the Amber Infrastructure Group, as well as a large amount of debt financing provided by Ares Management’s Infrastructure Debt (here). At the end of 2023 this mix of equity and debt reflected a total commitment of £395m.
