Exascale to Launch UK Home Broadband Plans via CityFibre’s FTTP Network
Internet provider and UK network builder Exascale, which has deployed their own gigabit speed Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network to a few thousand premises in part of Telford and Wrekin, has expanded on the recent launch of their consumer broadband brand (here) by making full fibre packages available to homes via CityFibre’s national network.
CityFibre’s network currently covers around 4.7 million premises (inc. 848,000 customers) and they’ve long aspired to reach up to 8 million UK premises – representing c.30% of the UK, although it’s not currently known whether or when they will reach that aspiration.
Exascale actually signed a partnership to harness CityFibre’s network all the way back in July 2025 (here), although they didn’t initially harness this to deliver consumer broadband packages until now. The catch is that these won’t become available to order via their website until “late February“, but we do have some early details.
