The parents of broadband, mobile and TV provider Virgin Media (VMO2) are allegedly exploring the possibility of a £100m bid to takeover Kent-based ISP Trooli, which is aims to deploy a gigabit-speed full fibre (FTTP) network to 1 million UK premises by the end of 2024 (in August 2022 they reported 275,000 completed).
UK ISP Voneus, which is busy deploying both gigabit-capable Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) and Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband networks across rural parts of England and Wales, has decided to replace their current CEO and co-founder – Steve Leighton – with a new boss in the shape of Christopher Traggio.
Customers of UK mobile provider Tesco Mobile, which is a Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNO) on O2’s (VMO2) platform, has confirmed that it will scrap last year’s fixed price promise for some customers and significantly increase their prices from April 2023. But those with Clubcards may still be able to take fixed price tariffs.
British mobile giant Vodafone has done something special. The operator has combined a credit-card sized Raspberry Pi 4 personal computer with a new mobile (mobile broadband) chip to create a portable prototype device, which could enable small businesses and households to setup their own private 5G networks (MPNs).
Mobile operator EE (BT) has introduced a “6 Months Half Price” discount on their 4G and 5G SIM Only plans with unlimited calls, texts and data (mobile broadband), when taken with a 24-month minimum contract term. The offer reduces the price down to just £14 per month (£28 after 6 months).
A collaboration between UK ISP Virgin Media (VMO2) and the Amersham Town Council in Buckinghamshire (England) will soon allow young artists to paint a number of the operator’s broadband street cabinets around the town with pretty murals, which should make a nice change from the usually bland dark green and cream colours.
