Toob’s 900Mb Broadband Package for UK Businesses Goes Live

Alternative UK network ISP toob, which is building a new gigabit-capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network across parts of Hampshire and Surrey in England (e.g. Southampton), has today announced that their 900Mbps plan for small and medium-sized businesses has exited its trial phase.

The operator, which was originally backed by an investment of £75m from funds advised by the Amber Infrastructure Group (here) and last year secured “up to” £87.5m from the Sequoia Economic Infrastructure Income Fund (here), is currently aiming to cover 1 million premises across the South of England by 2027.

The business package costs just £50 +vat per month on an 18-month term (£60 thereafter), but for that you get symmetric speeds of 900Mbps+, unlimited usage, a static IP address (no mention of IPv6), a Mesh WiFi service (optional), a 48-hour Service Level Agreement (SLA) or £50 credit back, and a commitment for no in-contract price rises. The service also attaches a premium installation, which attracts a one-off cost of £149.

Nick Parbutt, toob CEO, said:

“Small and medium sized businesses drive our local economy and are a bedrock of the local community. However, for too long, businesses have either had the choice of using a business broadband service that delivers slow speeds, particularly on upload, or paying for a leased line costing hundreds of pounds per month.

I am delighted that toob can offer the connectivity that businesses need to operate effectively in our increasingly digital world at a reasonable cost. Using toob’s full-fibre broadband allows businesses to fully exploit the benefits of the cloud, productivity applications and collaboration tools to service their customers and work effectively with their employees and suppliers.”

End.
