Lit Fibre is bringing its full-fibre internet service to homes across the UK through an expanded partnership with the CityFibre network – a rollout that marks a significant step in delivering faster broadband to more communities nationwide.
Pre-acquisition, Lit Fibre had a retail broadband base of around 10,000 customers, and had previously built their own vertically integrated FTTP network to around 300,000 premises across parts of Wiltshire, Gloucestershire, Hertfordshire, Worcestershire, Essex and Suffolk.
Both Lit Fibre’s network and customer base were then all acquired by CityFibre during early 2024, followed in November 2024 by an agreement to sell the retail side of the business to Lit’s original co-founders, Tom Williams and Ben Bresler.
Williams at Lit Fibre, said: “Our new partnership with CityFibre is a major milestone in making Lit Fibre’s internet service available to even more homes across the UK.
“We’re committed to transforming connectivity to enable smooth internet experiences with the reliability for our customers.”
Greg Mesch, Chief Executive Officer at CityFibre added: “CityFibre’s full-fibre network reaches over 4.3 million premises and we continue to expand, meaning CityFibre’s ISP partners can benefit further from our products and service.
“We look forward to working with Lit Fibre as it grows its reach and makes the most of CityFibre’s next-generation XGS-PON network.”
