Openreach is continuing to roll out faster broadband across the UK, and has connected around 8,000 residents in Barnet to its upgraded network, improving digital access to essential services.

Netomnia, along with ISP sister company YouFibre has completed an additional fundraise of £147.5m in its accordion facility welcoming three new lenders: Barclays, Alpha Bank and Nord/LB.

Jeremy Chelot, CEO at Netomnia and YouFibre, says: "This backing demonstrates the strength of Netomnia’s deployment plans in the market.
“With this latest round of funding, we are well-positioned to accelerate our network deployment efforts and continue delivering best-in-class internet services and customer experience."
