Cityfibre Expand Hull Fibre Optic Network to Help Wireless ISP Connexin

Fibre optic developer Cityfibre has signed a new £0.6m 10-year deal that will see their network in Hull (East Yorkshire, England) being expanded even further to reach 19 hub sites for local “fibre-over-wireless” broadband ISP Connexin.

CityFibre started building the 62km long fibre optic network in Hull last year (here), which forms part of a major long-term deal to supply capacity for local mobile operators EE and Three UK (Mobile-Broadband Network Limited). Since then the operator has also signed supply deals with both PureBroadband (here) and MS3 (here).

Meanwhile Connexin currently delivers superfast broadband services with speeds of up to 60Mbps (£25 per month for a 250GB usage allowance) to consumers around Hull and they also offer custom solutions for local businesses, all of which is helping to provide an alternative to the local incumbent operator (KC).

According to StockMarketWire, Cityfibre’s fibre optic network in hull (Hull CORE) is now around two-thirds complete and progressing well.
