Suffice to say that the operator is choosing to play it safe and focus on growing take-up rather than rapid network expansion, which is likely to continue until such time as they&#8217;re able to raise fresh investment, assuming consolidation doesn&#8217;t bite first.<\/p>\n<p>The catch is that you can&#8217;t slow a build without inevitably cutting some jobs, and this would appear to be the second such batch of redundancies since last year. We have asked Zzoomm if they can clarify how many staff are likely to be affected and will report back when there&#8217;s a response.<\/p>\n<p>Customers who take their residential service typically pay from \u00a329.95 per month for an unlimited 150Mbps (symmetric speed) package on a 12-month term with an included router, which goes up to \u00a364.95 if you want their top 2Gbps tier.
