Spitfire and CityFibre extend wholesale partnership

Spitfire Network Services is extending its wholesale partnership with CityFibre and will now sell the fibre provider’s layer two Business Fibre to the Premises broadband product.

Spitfire will launch the new services in late November 2023, initially offering a 160Mbps and 1Gbps service. It plans to offer a range of faster speeds of up to 10Gbps, harnessing CityFibre’s upgrade of its network to XGS-PON technology.

The companies began collaborating in 2021 with Spitfire selling CityFibre’s dedicated fibre Ethernet and 200Mbps Ethernet Flex products.

Harry Bowlby, MD at Spitfire said: “This agreement means we can now offer our ‘One Network’ solution with full fibre broadband from five different wholesale network providers.”

Andy Wilson, Sales Director of CityFibre’s business wholesale channel, said: “Extending the product portfolio available to our channel partners has been a priority for CityFibre.”
