Full Fibre AltNet UK ISP Connexin Opens New HQ in Hull

UK ISP and digital network builder Connexin, which is investing £80m from Whitehelm Capital (now PATRIZIA) to deploy a 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network across parts of Hull and Yorkshire (here and here), has today opened its new HQ in Hull’s K3 Business Park on Clough Road.

The move is necessary because the provider “doubled in size” during 2022 and is now home to a total workforce of over 150 people. All of this will help the operator as they take-on KCOM’s established network in the region, albeit while offering faster speeds (up to 2Gbps symmetric for some trial homes).

Residential customers of the provider’s unlimited service tend to pay from £39 per month – plus a £25 one-off setup – for a symmetric speed of 100Mbps (30Mbps upload) on an 12-month term.

Alex Yeung, Co-Founder and Deputy CEO at Connexin, said:

“Over the years, we have had many opportunities to move further afield into cities people feel are the ‘digital hubs’ of the UK, but Hull is our home. It’s where we started and where we will stay and continue to invest.

Having our headquarters rooted firmly in Hull signals our commitment to continue boosting the local economy and ensures Hull remains proudly on the map as a city for technology companies to thrive and collaborate.”

End.
