Alternative fixed wireless access (FWA) ISP WeLink Communications UK<\/a>, which had been offering wireless broadband speeds of up to 1Gbps to poorly served homes and businesses in the city of Edinburgh (Scotland), has confirmed to ISPreview that they are “withdrawing<\/em>” from the market.<\/p>\n

The situation first came to our attention after a number of WeLink’s potential customers in Edinburgh informed us, at the start of this week, that their planned installations had suddenly been cancelled. At around the same time, we noted that a number of the provider’s staff appeared to have been made redundant.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Edinburgh is already quite well covered by gigabit-capable networks from Openreach<\/a>, Virgin Media<\/a> (VMO2), CityFibre<\/a> and Hyperoptic<\/a>. But WeLink were focused on a smaller set of patches that had, so far, been left excluded.<\/div>\n

On top of that, some of those customers with cancelled installations claim to have been told that it was because the business is ceasing operations in the UK. The move came as a surprise because the provider only launched during summer 2021 (here<\/a>). At the time, their Edinburgh pilot service was one of the first in the UK to deliver 1Gbps+ speeds to homes via the millimetre wave (mmW) bands, using 5G<\/a> style technologies.<\/p>\n

In March this year, WeLink followed that up by announcing that their carrier-grade coverage had been expanded to cover 27,500 premises in the city (here<\/a>) and they were even planning to upgrade this so that it would be “capable of delivering<\/em>” speeds up to 10Gbps in the near future. But that will no longer happen.<\/p>\n

A Spokesperson for WeLink told ISPreview:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“We are very disappointed to have to announce that as a result of commercial, technical and financial issues between WeLink UK and WeLink Inc, we will now be withdrawing from the UK ISP market. This will directly affect a small number of customers in one major UK city and will leave our other services unaffected .<\/p>\n

We regret that events have developed as they have, but we are left with no option but to withdraw from this market and to focus upon our other UK operations.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The exact details of what occurred to cause this are unclear, although being a wireless ISP in an urban area with plenty of growing fixed line rivals can’t have been easy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
