nexfibre has reached a total of two million premises ready for service, a significant milestone towards its goal of delivering full fibre connectivity to previously underserved suburban and semi-rural premises.
The target was reached in just two years through its build partnership with Virgin Media O2 – its anchor wholesale tenant - and the altnet provider says it has delivered its network to more premises than any other fibre provider in 2024, except for the incumbent.
This rapid progress is underpinned by a focus on high build density and auditing processes, and the deployment of XGS-PON technology.
nexfibre is currently the only fibre provider of significant scale that exclusively uses 10gbps XGS-PON.
Rajiv Datta, Chief Executive Officer of nexfibre, said: “Reaching two million premises reflects our commitment to building a network that prioritises underserved communities and creates a real and lasting impact – most of all by driving economic growth and improving living standards across the UK.”
