Broadband provider NuFibre (formerly Yayzi) has this morning become the latest retail ISP to sign a deal that will enable them to harness AllPoints Fibre Networks‘ (APFN) aggregated wholesale platform (aquila) of full fibre networks. The ISP will now be able to sell packages across a range of high-speed networks.
The agreement gives NuFibre access to APFN’s full product suite across a wide range of bandwidths and multiple networks, including Openreach, CityFibre, BTWholesale & Sky Business Wholesale delivered via APFN’s single, streamlined aquila wholesale platform – providing access to over 23 million premises nationwide.
The announcement also mentions that this deal includes APFN’s own on-net full fibre infrastructure (formerly Swish Fibre, Giganet and Jurassic Fibre), which is due to start becoming available again via retail ISP Brillband from 1st July 2026 (here). So we presume NuFibre will be offering something similar in the near future.

Martin Gardner, CEO at NuFibre, said:
“At NuFibre, we are building our technology stack in-house from the ground up. This approach gives us the flexibility to implement changes quickly and continuously enhance the customer experience at every level.
We are working with the newly developed APFN aquila platform, which brings together multiple systems to streamline and improve the order journey process.
Our relationship with APFN is a true collaboration. They listen to our needs and evolve the platform accordingly, creating solutions designed for the ISPs of the future, free from the constraints of legacy systems. Due to this, NuFibre is one of the fastest ISPs to onboard and integrate APFN APIs into our own tech stack and custom-built CRM.”

I’m seriously concerned about this ISP’s reliability. Will they actually pay their bills this time, or will the debt simply be sold on again?
I wouldn’t touch them with a barge pole.
It’s frankly astonishing that a company like this is still allowed to operate without a ADR scheme or even got OTS LOL.
This leaves customers with almost no meaningful protection or independent route for complaints.

This is inaccurate: https://www.commsombudsman.org/raise-dispute/nufibre-ltd
I love the way the Olilo sheep always spend their time trying to bring down nufibre, its too obvious.
I also like the way the Olilo say they are registered with the communication ombudsman, but try searching for them, oops no results found.
And ISP review dont say Olilo, (previously Yayzi) as the former director left Yayzi and started Olilo.
Olilo are part of CISAS, hence why they don’t show as registered with the Communication Ombudsman.
There’s a bitter rivalry between Nufibre and Olilo. It appears that both will be selling access via APFN’s own (i.e. ex-Giganet, ex-Jurassic, and ex-Swish) network from 1 July. But given that APFN resellers are selling access to AS5482, it seems like the seller is only doing billing and support? Or are APFN offering layer 2 handoff to some customers, so they can use their own core network?
Just wanted to jump on this.
There is no rivalry between Olilo and NuFibre. There never has been. They are a completely different company, offering a different product and service.
Olilo is not “formerly Yayzi”. Olilo was started while Yayzi was still active. It was not a rebrand, rename, continuation, or relaunch of Yayzi. I previously founded Yayzi, left, and later founded Olilo as a completely separate company.
We are also part of CISAS and have been since the day we went live, as legally required.
On APFN, only our Consumer side uses them. Our Prosumer service is different. For customers who want a simple plug and play broadband product, APFN works well. For our Prosumer side, we use our own Layer 2 network via Velox and Zen FibreHub, which gives us far more control over routing, network design, support, and the overall service experience.
So no drama, no conspiracy, no “bitter rivalry”. Just different companies, different products, and different approaches.
Hope that clears things up
I must disagree on the comment left by Liam and with respect you don’t speak for Nufibre on any matters, it does seem they jump on every Nufibre post regardless of platform which is clear to see and referenced above. We’ re all in the same industry and we should champion the industry wherever we can.
Olilo is just as much as a formerly Yayzi as Nufibre is as Nufibre also wasn’t a rebrand, rename, continuation or re launch of Yayzi, it’s a completely different company also. So formerly is an incorrect term in any respect to either company. 2 previous Yayzi directors are at Olilo and Liam is still a director of Yayzi Group and two previous are at Nufibre but we have a much expanded team now.
Nufibre is also a fully registered member of the Communications Ombudsman, and the link above actually confirms this as you can’t have a link if not a member. It was also clearly pointed out that Olilo is not a member of the Communications Ombudsman but was clearly displaying their logo on their website until they amended it yesterday to the correct CEDR logo, so glad Olilo took action to correct that.
Nufibre has access to the whole market via various providers and will continue expanding its services to meet all broadband customer first needs.
LOL
