Altnet Pulse Fibre Target 250K UK Premises for Full Fibre and Joins Fibre Cafe

A relatively new alternative broadband network and ISP called Pulse Fibre, which is focused upon tackling UK new build homes, has revealed that they’re aiming to complete over 250,000 unique “full fibre” (FTTP) connections into new build dwellings. As part of this, they’ve just joined the Fibre Cafe connectivity aggregation platform.

Fibre Cafe’s platform is essentially designed to tackle the significant integration and automation challenges for broadband ISPs when onboarding new networks (e.g. common processes, a national availability checker, alternative network agnostic order journeys and a unified interface etc.), whilst enabling such operators to more easily bring their own wholesale propositions to market.

Reece Dopson, Finance Director at Pulse Fibre, said: “The partnership with The Fibre Cafe, marks a significant milestone in our journey. The collaboration reinforces the vision we have for the market, and focus on bringing value added services to customers via their choice of ISP.”

At present we still know very little about Pulse Fibre’s efforts to implement their own 10Gbps capable “end-to-end dedicated fibre optic network” to residential properties. But customers of the service can expect to pay from £30 per month for a 100Mbps (symmetric) broadband package (plus £29.99 one-off for setup), which rises to £60 for their top 1Gbps tier with free setup. All packages attract a 12-month minimum contract term.
