Netomnia Start FTTP Broadband Build in St Neots and Falkirk

Netomnia – supported by UK broadband ISP YouFibre – has confirmed that they’ve begun to build their new 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network in the Cambridgeshire town of St Neots (England) and the town of Falkirk (Scotland). Services have also started to go live in Bridgend, Hamilton and Lancaster.

The operator, which has so far secured £418m in funding and already covers over 130,000 UK premises across various towns, ultimately aims to reach 1 million UK homes and businesses by the end of 2023.

The latest locations to join their rollout plans reflect an investment of up to £5.4m to deploy across 18,000 premises in St Neots and the surrounding areas – supported by civil engineering firm Opals Group. In addition, they’ve also announced a £21m build to cover around 70,000 premises in Falkirk and the surrounding areas (no civil engineering firm is named for this build).

The service itself is typically supplied to consumers via UK ISP partner YouFibre, which offers unlimited usage, symmetrical speeds, a Wi-Fi router, free installation and 24/7 UK based support. Customers pay from just £17 per month on an 18-month term for their unlimited 50Mbps package, which rises to £34 if you want their top 900Mbps plan.

Netomnia often faces competition from gigabit-capable rivals in some of the areas they target, but so far their aggressively competitive pricing and strong service speeds seem to be doing a good job of peeling customers away from more established rivals.
