A new network operator and ISP called Lit Fibre<\/a> has launched today with an aspiration to deploy their own 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) broadband network across 500,000 UK homes by 2026, albeit starting with several small to medium-sized towns in Wiltshire (England).<\/p>\n

In fairness Lit Fibre<\/strong> isn’t an entirely unknown quantity as we did report on them once before last year (here<\/a>), but at the time they were known by the similarly unfamiliar name of Broadreach Networks<\/strong> and had just put in an application for Code Powers<\/a><\/strong> from Ofcom<\/a> – this helps to speed-up the deployment of new networks and cut costs by reducing the number of licenses needed for street works.<\/p>\n

The provider’s CEO, Tom Williams<\/a><\/strong>, is a familiar name to some as he is the former COO of Hyperoptic<\/a> (until January 2019). Prior to that he was also the MD of BE Unlimited and the head of O2<\/a> UK’s LLU<\/a> (unbundled copper broadband and phone) rollout, which gives him a fair bit of experience in this field.<\/p>\n

Since then, it appears as if Broadreach Networks has changed its name to Lit Fibre (January 2021) and is understood to have received an equity investment from Newlight Partners LP<\/strong> to help fund the initial rollout. We don’t know how much money has been put on the table, but the ISP did start last year with around \u00a33m<\/strong> worth of shares.<\/p>\n

The Rollout Plan<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Lit Fibre informed ISPreview.co.uk that they’re committed to bringing their full-fibre broadband service to 500,000 homes<\/strong> by 2026, although initially they’ll start by targeting the Wiltshire<\/strong> towns of Corsham<\/strong> and Chippenham<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Work to install the new 10Gbps (1Gbps for homes) capable fibre infrastructure is said to be “already well underway<\/em>“, with the service expected to go live from June 2021<\/strong>, although at the time of writing we couldn’t spot much activity on the ground (not uncommon for the early phase of a new build, without knowing what street they’re doing).<\/p>\n

Tom Williams, CEO Lit Fibre, told ISPreview.co.uk:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We\u2019re delighted to launch our services in Corsham and Chippenham. The past year has clearly demonstrated the importance of having a robust home internet connection in our digital world. With more people using their home broadband for work, school, video streaming, gaming, and other bandwidth intensive applications, the pressure on copper-based services is only increasing.<\/p>\n

We recognise that consistent speeds, a reliable connection and excellent customer service are all important factors for today\u2019s consumer. By switching to a full-fibre network, consumers can enjoy an enhanced experience, without compromise.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The choice of Corsham and Chippenham to start their rollout is a curious one since those two neighbouring towns are anything but inactive for gigabit-capable networks. Openreach<\/a> have a few patches of FTTP<\/a> in both locations, while Virgin Media<\/a> covers a sizeable chunk of Chippenham and Gigaclear<\/a> also has a presence there.<\/p>\n

In fact, Gigaclear<\/a> has a significant deployment plan for the area, which will see them cover more of Chippenham and most of Corsham over the next few months. Suffice to say that Lit Fibre will be starting life as the underdog in an area where three established rivals are already playing, although so far they seem to all be largely avoiding one another, at least for now.<\/p>\n

As it stands Lit Fibre’s website is fairly sparse on details, but we’re informed that prices will start from \u00a330 per month and symmetric speed packages will range from 100Mbps and go up to 500Mbps and 1Gbps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
