The UK’s largest alternative 10Gbps capable Full Fibre (FTTP<\/a> \/ XGS-PON) broadband network, CityFibre<\/a>, has today revealed that their network now covers 4.8 million UK premises (4.6m RFS) and revenues grew to \u00a3164m (up 36% from \u00a3120m last year). But shareholders have also prepared \u00a3900m in a “new equity commitment<\/em>” to help drive future altnet consolidation.<\/p>\n

The details were released as part of a new trading update to 30th September 2026, which also revealed that customer connections had grown to total 1.108 million (up 52%) and consumer revenues had surged by 61% to total \u00a3127m (up from \u00a379m). Part of that no doubt reflects the impact of securing Sky Broadband<\/a> as a major retail ISP partner.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> CityFibre<\/a> is owned by Antin Infrastructure Partners, Goldman Sachs, Mubadala Investment Company, Interogo Holding etc. The FTTP<\/a> network is supported by lots of UK ISPs like Vodafone<\/a>, TalkTalk<\/a>, Zen Internet<\/a>, Sky Broadband<\/a> and many more (local ISP availability does vary a bit between locations).<\/div>\n

The figures mean that consumer penetration on their wholesale broadband network now exceeds 26%, which continues to trend in the right direction. Adjusted EBITDA (i.e. earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) also quadrupled to \u00a360m, as “customer growth, operating leverage and continued cost discipline drove improved profitability<\/em>“. This reflects annualised run rates of over \u00a3220m p.a. revenue and \u00a3100m p.a. EBITDA.<\/p>\n

Naturally CityFibre<\/a>’s update has been somewhat sanitised by focusing on only the positives, albeit with no mention of their latest debts and losses. Suffice to say that we’re missing half of the content, but that should be made available shortly, once their full accounts become available via Companies House<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

\u201cOur performance demonstrates the ongoing, fundamental strength of CityFibre\u2019s business. We continue to grow our customer base and revenues while delivering significant improvements in profitability and maintaining a disciplined approach to costs and capital allocation.<\/p>\n

We also recognise that our capital structure needs to evolve to support our acquisition drive and unlock the next phase of CityFibre\u2019s growth. With the continued backing of our shareholders, including a \u00a3900m new equity commitment, we are in discussion with our lenders to establish a strong, long-term capital structure for the business.<\/p>\n

This will enable CityFibre to accelerate consolidation in the sector creating a larger business with the funding and financial flexibility to deliver its long-term plan and establish the third national network the UK needs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

CityFibre have of course made no secret of their desire to drive consolidation among struggling alternative broadband networks (altnets), although that plan hit somewhat of a bump earlier this year after nexfibre<\/a> (Virgin Media<\/a> \/ O2<\/a>) beat their bid for Netomnia<\/a>. But the CMA’s provisional decision last week to effectively block that deal<\/a> could re-open this option in the near future (nexfibre<\/a> might yet find a remedy to this, but it would be difficult).<\/p>\n

The network operator are also known to have held discussions with a number of altnets and thus the extra funding could give them the money to do deals with operators like CommunityFibre<\/a>, Hyperoptic<\/a>, G.Network<\/a>, Gigaclear<\/a> or potentially several smaller altnets. As usual, CityFibre are likely to be sensitive to overbuild and will want to pick players that don\u2019t compete too directly with their existing infrastructure.<\/p>\n

However, consolidating alternative networks still tends to be a slow, complex and costly process \u2013 particularly with many altnets still holding an inflated idea of their own asset values. On the other hand, recent strains in the wider market do seem to be slowly bringing a much needed does of realism into the sector, which could help to move things along.<\/p>\n

Still, CityFibre\u2019s strategy around all this remains unproven, but more scale is ultimately what’s needed to help grow a true national competitor to the two established giants of Openreach<\/a> and Virgin Media<\/a> (inc. nexfibre<\/a>). Lest we forget that CityFibre has long also aspired for their full fibre network to reach 8 million premises in the future (originally this was a 2025 target), although quite when they’ll achieve that now depends on their M&A drive.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 7th Oct 2026 @ 6:58am<\/strong><\/p>\n

Companies House has now published CityFibre’s full accounts, which reveals that their network operating costs increased by \u00a312m to total \u00a350m (2024: \u00a338m) as the network scaled and their loss after tax increased to \u00a3397m (2024: \u00a3378m), primarily due to higher interest charges on inter-company loans. Finally, total liabilities now stand at \u00a36.06bn (2024: \u00a35.12bn).<\/p>\n

Curiously the accounts for CityFibre Limited don’t include any figures for their employees and the group’s ultimate parent company, Connect Infrastructure Topco Ltd, as well as CityFibre Infrastructure Holdings Ltd, are currently late with their annual accounts. As such we don’t yet know the exact figure after all of their recent redundancies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
