ClearFibre Adopts Nokia XGS-PON FTTP Broadband for UK Rollout

ISP ClearFibre (Telcom Group), which is focused on helping to connect UK homes in the private rental sector to “full fibre” broadband, has announced that they’ve chosen Nokia’s XGS-PON technology to support their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) rollout. Xantaro’s network service integration solutions will also be used.

The announcement doesn’t contain a lot of detail, but residents on this network should be able to enjoy a three-tier choice of “guaranteed speeds” between 250Mbps and 1Gbps, as well as the option to instantly upgrade to faster fibre speeds. In addition, this will all be underpinned by a Service Level Agreement (SLA) with 24/7 customer service.

Paul Eaton, Chief Commercial Officer at ClearFibre, said: “We are confident our consumers will be highly satisfied and very excited with our variable speeds and price point available, along with an exceptional customer service. … We believe the timing is perfect to be deploying these types of services. We have suffered poor broadband services in the UK for far too long. Bring on change.”
