Full Fibre UK ISP Hyperoptic Launch Managed Wi-Fi Service
City-focused broadband ISP Hyperoptic, which has so far built their full fibre (FTTP/B) network to cover “more than” 1.73 million homes and 340,000 customers in parts of 64 UK towns and cities, has launched a Managed Wi-Fi service that aims to deliver “uninterrupted, high-speed internet” across larger residential developments / blocks of flats (MDUs).
The new service appears to be targeted at building owners and comes with a dedicated portal for simplifying onboarding for both residents and guests. The service also includes tailored account management, 24/7 support, and “future-proof hardware” to ensure secure, up-to-date technology. One of the advantages of this is the ability to get new residents connected as soon as they move in.
Jo-Anne Dunning, Business Development Director at Hyperoptic, stated: “We’re excited to launch our Managed Wi-Fi service, offering an advanced, reliable solution tailored to the needs of modern residential developments. Our Whitepaper highlights the industry’s growing readiness for tech innovations, and Hyperoptic is proud to set a new standard for high-speed connectivity.”

Not a good move. I can see building owners being enticed by this and tough luck to any individual tenants that want their own wired fibre broadband. You’ll get what’s going and pay what it costs. What about choice?
This will be wired it’s only connecting customers straight away.
Oh, you try telling that to the freeholders.
Hyperoptic will need developers on board for new builds and getting local councils, housing associations etc.. It won’t be easy but this will cut cost getting customers on board ASAP when they moved but you will need an engineer to come to wire in for you wired connection.
This configuration each floor has wifi then one wifi into the property one problem I see when a customer is connected to WiFi there WiFi might be sketchy depending how big the flat is exmaple maisonette might find it hard to get WiFi signal I guess hyperoptic know what there doing to combat this.
Im with Hyperoptic I’m happy there are looking at ways to make customers who join get there connect asap!
