Recent research by Neos Networks reveals that almost all altnet providers are considering M&A and collaborations with other service providers as a means of survival and expansion in the UK’s broadband market.

InfraBridge-owned VX Fiber and Equitix-backed Freedom Fibre have held exploratory talks about a deal, reports Sky News.
VX Fiber is said to be working with bankers on M&A options for its UK arm, operating in Stoke-on-Trent. Freedom Fibre is said to be amongst one of the altnets in discussion.
The altnet has reportedly been making redundancies as it focuses on commercialising the network it has already built.
