Wholesale Provider PXC Launch CityFibre Business FTTP for UK ISPs

Network provider PlatformX Communications (PXC), which is a trading name of UK internet provider TalkTalk and sells wholesale solutions to ISPs (inc. other network providers), has today announced that they’ve made CityFibre’s Business Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband services available to all their partners.

The launch brings PXC’s partners an even greater choice of business connectivity solutions, offering symmetrical bandwidth of up to 1Gbps, with both Layer 3 Managed and Layer 2 Wholesale options available. VoIP overlay is supported on managed services, and API integration “ensures efficient order placement and lifecycle management“. 

However, it would be nice to see CityFibre and its partners offering speeds beyond 1Gbps via such business wholesale connections, particularly since their consumer connectivity can already deliver speeds of up to 5.5Gbps.

Jenny Harrison, Chief Commercial Officer of PXC, said:

“We’re thrilled to further expand our partnership with CityFibre to deliver next-generation business connectivity solutions to our partners and their customers. This collaboration ensures that our partners can access even more choice to better meet the needs of today’s businesses with reliable, high-speed broadband,”

George Wareing, Chief Commercial Officer at CityFibre, said:

“CityFibre’s 10Gb XGS-PON full fibre network gives our partners the ability to deliver gigabit capable speeds, with market-leading service performance. XGS-PON is the technology that will enable small and medium sized businesses to unlock their digital potential and it’s great to see PXC expanding its portfolio, bringing more choice and value to partners and businesses across the UK.”
