Manchester-based UK ISP The 4th Utility<\/a> and the ITS Technology Group<\/a> (its.) in Cheshire have today signed a new partnership worth \u00a315m, which will kick start a new project that aims to build “ultrafast broadband<\/em>” connectivity to 100,000 homes within the next 12 months and then 500,000 before 2024.<\/p>\n

At present ITS, which recently secured a funding boost of \u00a345m<\/strong> from Aviva Investors (here<\/a>), operates a number of fibre optic and hybrid wireless broadband networks across parts of the UK (usually via wholesale). The operator also has existing plans to cover 200,000 additional homes and businesses over the next few years.<\/p>\n

By comparison The 4th Utility<\/a>, which mostly caters for large apartment blocks (MDUs) and commercial properties, recently also secured a \u00a325m<\/strong> investment boost of its own, albeit from DIF Capital Partners, to support the next phase of their own Fibre-to-the-Premises<\/strong> (FTTP<\/a>) rollout. The provider’s previous plan was to cover 10,000 properties by the end of 2020 and then 300,000 premises within the next 3 years.<\/p>\n

Suffice to say that it sounds a lot like both providers intend to combine their respective deployment plans and strengths through this new 8-year partnership, although the announcement was woefully light on detail.<\/p>\n

Tony Hughes, CEO of 4th Utility<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“This deal brings together two exciting UK broadband providers and by leveraging the ITS network, we will be able to significantly broaden our reach and the pace of our UK-wide rollout.<\/p>\n

We believe in investing in high-quality fibre infrastructure and we offer a reliable solution that means super-fast full fibre broadband can be ready to go from day one. That\u2019s become more important than ever with so many people across the country now working from home for the foreseeable future.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll be rolling out thousands of new and retro fit installations in the coming months and we\u2019re pleased to have agreed this long-term partnership that will allow us to deliver our ambitious plans for growth. We\u2019re excited for the future, but we\u2019re only just getting started.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Daren Baythorpe, ITS CEO, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re really excited to be working with 4th Utility<\/a>. Our Faster Britain network has been lighting up whole regions of the UK with ultrafast full fibre and this partnership enables us to build more network to more places. The plans we\u2019ve drawn up together are going to improve the digital lives of the homes and businesses we connect.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

One challenge above is that the stated funding would not be nearly enough to build fresh connectivity to an additional 500,000 premises, particularly as we seem to be talking about a “full fibre<\/em>” (FTTP<\/a>) network. We suspect that their existing investors are most likely willing to put additional funding on the table in the future, provided the partnership can show that they’re able to deliver.<\/p>\n

The announcement also fails to mention where these deployments will be occurring, but hopefully there will be more detail on that in the near future so that we can judge its progress. No doubt the pair will also be seeking to benefit from the Government’s forthcoming \u00a35bn gigabit programme, which aims to upgrade connectivity across the hardest to reach final 20% of UK premises.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 19th Nov 2020<\/strong><\/p>\n

Jimmy Acton, CTO at 4th Utlity, has kindly helped to clarify some points: “4th Utility will remain focused on the rollout utilising the recent \u00a325m investment to residential homes across the UK. The partnership will see the backhaul connections utilised with ITS across their network and further afield where necessary and they will build out to meet our requirements. Focus will be clustered to meet demand for fibre and deliver at a pace the UK is crying out for<\/em>.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
