Octaplus has launched its new range of Multi-Gig broadband packages, delivering ultrafast speeds of 1.8Gbps and 2.3Gbps available on CityFibre’s upgraded network, and boosting the ISP’s position within the market.

Openreach has added another 21 locations to its full fibre UK rollout that will see nearly 80,000 rural and urban premises access high speed broadband, as it continues to connect 5m more homes and businesses during the year to March 2026.
The new locations will connect residents in Devon, Oxfordshire, Gloucestershire, Lancashire, and Buckinghamshire.
Clive Selley, CEO of Openreach said: “Last year was our biggest year of build ever - reaching well over 4m homes with this technology, and this year will be our biggest ever.”
In the year from April 2024, Openreach extended its network to another 4.3m premises, and is now accelerating the build to reach up to five million more in just 12 months.
In total, more than 3,500 UK locations have so far been included in Openreach’s build programme, with more being reached through publicly funded partnerships.
More than 7m homes and businesses have already upgraded to use the new network - 37% of a growing footprint - and Openreach hopes to connect as many as 30m premises in the UK by 2030.
