Rochdale-base UK ISP Zen Internet<\/a> has today officially launched The Fibre Hub, which essentially aggregates access to a number of major and smaller alternative full fibre broadband networks (Openreach<\/a>, CityFibre<\/a>, Trooli<\/a>, Freedom Fibre<\/a> etc.) and offers that up to partners (e.g. other ISPs) at the wholesale level.<\/p>\n

Zen previously only supplied services to homes and businesses using products from Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>) and CityFibre<\/a>, but over the past couple of years they\u2019ve been busily expanding that range of networks and have previously spoken of their \u201caspirations to become the UK\u2019s alt-net aggregator of choice<\/em>\u201c (here<\/a>). This could provide an alternative to the likes of PXC (Talk Talk Wholesale), AllPoints Fibre and others in the wholesale space.<\/p>\n

The provider began to soft launch this through their Zen Partner programme on 23rd April 2025, which initially offered access to CityFibre<\/a>’s Business FTTP<\/a> with speed options ranging from 160Mbps to 2.5Gbps, and CityFibre Residential FTTP<\/a> with speed options from 1Gbps to 2.5Gbps alongside existing Openreach<\/a> access (over 19 million premises across both). This access is now available for all channel businesses to take advantage of. A new residential 160Mbps tier will also be introduced soon.<\/p>\n

Just to be clear. CityFibre’s FTTP<\/a> network alone currently spans over 4.4 million UK premises, with Zen Internet<\/a> covering 3.8 million of these (Ready for Service). By comparison, Openreach’s FTTP network covers around 18.3 million premises, and there’s some overbuild between these two.<\/p>\n

Richard Tang, Founder and CEO of Zen Internet<\/a>, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Hosting the launch of The Fibre Hub at The Gherkin, London’s iconic building, reflects our ambition to be the UK\u2019s leading alt-net aggregator, offering unparalleled choice, reach, and performance.<\/p>\n

We are excited to announce rollout timescales including Trooli<\/a> access from early June, and Freedom Fibre<\/a> from mid-July. The Fibre Hub is just another example of how we do things differently, and that\u2019s true in lots of ways.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Zen has previously indicated that Trooli<\/a>’s network would also become available via The Fibre Hub \u201clater this summer<\/em>\u201d and Freedom Fibre<\/a> were due to be introduced into their Partner Portal \u201csoon<\/em>\u201c, although today’s announcement merely states that those two “networks will be available on the hub later this year … with further alt-nets to be announced soon<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

The launch is said to include “several new features<\/em>” for The Fibre Hub, such as network migrations, a cosmetic redesign (formerly known as Zen’s ICP Portal), and a bulk migration tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
