Network operator CityFibre<\/a>, which has already deployed their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP<\/a>) based broadband network to cover 4.7 million UK premises (4.5m Ready for Service), has today taken the wrapping off a major new \u201cMulti-Gig<\/em>\u201d product, offering its ISP partners and their customers (homes and businesses) symmetrical speeds of 8.5Gbps (Gigabits per second).<\/p>\n

The new product tier, which is described as being the “next evolution of CityFibre<\/a>\u2019s Multi-Gig portfolio<\/em>“, is supported by the operator\u2019s recently upgraded XGS-PON<\/strong> (10Gbps symmetric capable PON) technology platform, which has already been rolled out across their national full fibre network to replace their old GPON solution.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> CityFibre<\/a> is owned by Antin Infrastructure Partners, Goldman Sachs, Mubadala Investment Company, Interogo Holding etc. The FTTP<\/a> network, which covers 4.7 million UK premises (4.5m RFS), is supported by UK ISPs such as Vodafone<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a>, Zen Internet<\/a>, Sky Broadband<\/a> and more (local ISP availability does vary).<\/div>\n

The new tier represents a significant performance uplift from their previous fastest tier of 5.5Gbps, although to date the only broadband ISP promoting such speeds to consumers has been Sky Broadband<\/a>. Part of the reason for that is because it’s tricky for ISPs to adapt their networks to cope with that sort of capacity, which takes time and money. The same is likely to be true for the new 8.5Gbps tier too.<\/p>\n

However, today’s announcement is somewhat of a soft launch for the new tier, since it won’t officially become accessible for “all of its ISP partners<\/em>” to take until 21st April 2026<\/strong>. But CityFibre are keen to point out that their latest installs are already being deployed with 10Gbps capable Optical Network Terminals<\/strong> (ONT \/ ONU’s) inside properties, so for many existing (recent) users upgrading won’t require an additional engineer visit (customers with older ONTs will still require an engineer visit if they opt for a faster Multi-Gig tier).<\/p>\n

Simon Holden, CEO of CityFibre, said:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cCityFibre is the UK\u2019s largest, most advanced full fibre network, setting the standard for what people should expect from their connection and enabling all our customers and partners, across consumer, business, mobile and the public sector, to innovate and grow.<\/p>\n

Thanks to forward-thinking policy and regulation, and ambitious capital providers, CityFibre is transforming the UK\u2019s digital infrastructure and propelling the nation into the global fast lane.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A number of other alternative networks (e.g. Netomnia<\/a>\/YouFibre<\/a>, B4RN<\/a> etc.) have been offering similar broadband speeds to consumers for several years. But it’s clear that CityFibre are keeping a much closer eye on developments at arch rival Openreach<\/a> (BT<\/a>), which just started piloting speeds of up to 8.5Gbps via EE<\/a> (and possibly some other ISPs that we don’t yet know about).<\/p>\n

One key difference is above that CityFibre’s consumer tiers usually offer symmetric performance, while Openreach<\/a>’s comparable 8.5Gbps tier is only for downloads (uploads drop to 850Mbps – except on more expensive business lines). In addition, CityFibre’s wholesale tiers tend to be a modest amount cheaper than Openreach<\/a>’s, although we’ve yet to see how much they’ll charge ISPs for the new option.<\/p>\n

The usual catch in all this is the difficulty of actually being able to harness all that speed when online (Why Buying Gigabit Broadband Doesn\u2019t Always Deliver<\/strong><\/a>). The multi-gigabit domain thus remains more of a premium luxury product, although technological evolution rarely waits for the slowest users. Pushing the boundaries of modern technology is also part of what can make an operator exciting (marketing carries power) and as coverage matures then service performance \/ quality inevitably becomes the next battleground, alongside price.<\/p>\n

CityFibre said they’re currently adding over 30,000 new customers each month as the company approaches its 1 million customers milestone. In recent months, around 70% of households who were switching broadband provider were moved onto the CityFibre network where available, or so they claim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
