Rural ISP Fusion Fibre Group Expands UK Broadband Cover via PXC

Rural network builder and ISP Fusion Fibre Group (formerly FACTCO), which has built a number of its own FTTP broadband networks for various communities, has today moved to expand their availability across the UK by signing a new wholesale agreement with PlatformX Communications. PXC was formerly known as TalkTalk Wholesale before the demerger (here).

At present PXC gives retail ISPs access to create broadband packages across a number of different networks, such as Openreach, CityFibre, CommunityFibre, Freedom Fibre and Netomnia. The new deal will give PXC access to that nationwide reach (broadband and Ethernet), as well as a range of backhaul solutions.

Most of this seems to be focused upon expanding the reach of their full fibre (FTTP) products, but FFG also plan to extend their offering to provide copper connections where full fibre is not available (we assume this means FTTC and ADSL2+). This offering, launching in 2025, will allow customers to transition to full fibre services when the time comes.

Adrian Marshman, MD of Fusion Fibre Group, said (Technology Reseller):

“We’re incredibly proud to partner with PXC, a leading aggregator of the UK’s alternative network landscape. This addition to our already extensive profile of partners will play a vital role in our ability to scale and deliver top tier connectivity across the UK.”
