Residents and business owners in Colne, Lancashire, will soon benefit from enhanced services thanks to UK full fibre broadband provider brsk. By investing in a new full fibre network, brsk aims to deliver symmetrical speeds of up to 2Gbps, enhancing connectivity for approximately 11,000 homes and businesses.
Netomnia has merged with Brsk, forming the UK’s second-largest alternative network provider after CityFibre. This merger creates a network footprint of 1.5 million premises ready for service (RFS), aiming to reach 3 million by next year. Supported by £1.2 billion in debt funding, the merger combines complementary networks to enhance market position and service delivery, emphasizing expansion and innovation.
Rumors of a impending merger swirl around two of UK’s pivotal alternative network providers. Such union could massively boost FTTP coverage across the UK. Amid speculations of rapid network consolidation and shared investment, this collaboration signifies a vital shift in UK’s fibre market. However, the union also begets challenges in terms of subscriber transition and meeting regulatory deadlines.
