Netomnia Target FTTP Broadband for 2 Million UK Premises by 2025
Broadband operator Netomnia (YouFibre) has revealed that their 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network, which recently covered 850,000 UK premises (up from 730k in Nov 2023), is currently planned to reach 1.5 million premises next year. But they also hold a tentative ambition to push that up to 2 million by the end of 2025.
The company, which now also serves around 80,000 active customers via their retail broadband ISP YouFibre (up from 65k on 13th Dec 2023), had previously set a target to cover 1 million premises by “early” 2024. But the recent move to raise an additional investment of £147.5m (here) appeared to indicate that their roll-out plan was set to go beyond the existing target.
“We expect to reach our target of 1 million premises passed by Q2 this year. Our new target will be to achieve 2 million premises passed by the end of 2025,” said Netomnia’s CEO, Jeremy Chelot, as part of a forthcoming interview with ISPreview that is due to be published early next month.

Customers of YouFibre typically pay from £21.99 per month for their 150Mbps package, which rises to just £29.99 for 1Gbps and £99.99 for the dizzy heights of 7-8Gbps on a 24-month term.

Still looking forward to Wrexham going FULLY live!
Some little dots on Thinkbroadband and also BIDB maps.
Still seems a life time away!
Green Lane, Temple Ewell CT16 please after originally saying you would do it, and cabling the road opposite.
Still hoping and praying they finish Bedford.
Cabled it up 2 years ago, then just went dark.
Wrexham isn’t any live. None of those locations are orderable. ‘Live’ is an outright lie.
@Roger
As you sound like an Wrexham resident have you checked the Better internet dashboard website (bidb.uk)? As there are now a flurry of Postcodes with alleged YouFibre!
So it still might go live before the Stand is built!

I had a reply from Jeremy Chelot 2 weeks ago. Saying that “2 contractors down with a new one starting soon in Wrexham”. Hopefully, it’s the final one and they complete the rollout this time.
@Ash
GF & GL pulling out doesn’t sound good! Hopefully new one doesn’t start with a “G”!
Wonder what is going on with the maps then, as both BIDB and Thinkbroardband have spots for service on them?
Cheers for the Update
David.
@David
I got told that there are tiny areas that are live and that’s why it’s on the map as live. I think this is misleading considering it’s barely been installed anywhere in Wrexham. But that’s business I guess. Unfortunately,I wasn’t told who it was, but fingers crossed it’s someone good who will finish it this time. It does make me wonder why 2 have pulled out so far. Just hoping to see roadworks pop up soon!
No problem, hopefully more positive updates in future 🙂
So Openreach, VM/nexfibre, Cityfibre and Netomnia/YF post consolidation?
Netomnia & CityFibre don’t seem to have much overbuild with each other (I only noticed Cheltenham & Sheffield having some). Apart from consolidation the best thing for the altnets would be to have a common wholesale platform so the services you could get weren’t a postcode lottery.
Have they announced any new locations?
They don’t tend to announce places until they are almost ready.
I’ve seen them installing chambers where I am but there is no rollout plan here. I’d be suprised they were installing chambers if there weren’t rolling out so its probably just not been announced yet.
Can’t get bad press if you don’t give press.
Be good if you can include Maghull in your Liverpool rollout!!!
No biggie. Just infilling current announced towns with the debt
I wish they do my street, literally 500 metre away the streets have been done they even put leaflets out saying coming soon last year now they say it not happening
Roll on Broadway and Mereland Road in Didcot… pleeeeaaase
Only see 8 port CBTs fitted to poles in netomnia builds so only 8 customers ready for service what about the other potentially 22 customers are they classed as homes passed even though further build is required at the pole.
Until the 8 ports are full no further build is required.
