Network operator nexfibre<\/a> and supporting retail broadband ISP partner Virgin Media<\/a> (O2<\/a>), which share some of the same parentage, have today announced that they\u2019ve expanded the reach of their symmetric 2Gbps speed capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) network to more than 13,000 homes in the Gloucestershire market town of Stroud for the first time.<\/p>\n

The area is currently already well covered by Openreach<\/a>’s and Netomnia<\/a>’s gigabit-capable FTTP<\/a> broadband networks. But until recently there was little to no presence from Virgin Media<\/a>, either directly or via nexfibre<\/a>, which has of course now changed. Not bad for a town with a population of just 13,500, although the nexfibre<\/a> build extends a bit beyond just the town itself.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> Virgin Media<\/a> is the only major ISP on nexfibre\u2019s network via an \u201cexclusive partnership\u201d<\/em> (here<\/a>), although giffgaff<\/a> are currently conducting a customer pilot. All share some of the same parentage.<\/div>\n

Nexfibre, which reflects a \u00a34.5bn joint venture between Telef\u00f3nica, Liberty Global and InfraVia Capital Partners (here<\/a>), has so far already covered 2.3 million premises across the UK with their new full fibre network. But the operator’s original plan to cover \u201cup to<\/em>\u201d 7 million UK homes (starting with 5m by 2026) in areas NOT currently served by Virgin Media\u2019s network of 16m+ premises was recently dealt a blow by Telefonica’s strategic review (here<\/a>). The operator now only expects to reach 2.5 million premises by the end of 2025 and uncertainty remains over what comes next.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
