Rural ISP and broadband network builder, Fusion Fibre Group (FFG), which has deployed a number of its own full fibre (FTTP) networks across various communities, has today announced plans to launch a channel partner programme that will allow smaller providers to resell their services.
The operator states that this move will give smaller ISPs access to 98% of UK properties, which naturally reflects more than their own relatively small deployments and also includes the wholesale partnerships they have with major players like PXC (formerly TalkTalk Wholesale), BT (Wholesale) and CityFibre. Not to mention ITS Technology, Freedom Fibre, FullFibre Ltd, F&W Networks and MS3.
Led by Kevin McDonnell, FFG’s new programme pledges to offer competitive rates and a range of options tailored to partners’ needs, which they say will help to “accelerate full-fibre broadband deployment nationwide” (although it may be more likely to help boost the take-up of existing networks, at least a little).

Kevin McDonnell said:
“Our vision is to make full-fibre broadband the standard across the UK, ensuring that every resident can benefit from reliable connectivity. With the support of channel partners, we can achieve this faster and more effectively. This program is about more than just connectivity; it’s about sharing skills, resources, and opportunities with local experts to deliver the best possible service to communities nationwide.”
FFG added that this would also give the opportunity for businesses outside of the sector, such as energy suppliers, property managers, I.T. businesses etc, to extend their portfolio of offerings to include broadband.
