Nexfibre passes more than 800,000 premises

Nexfibre has announced that it now has more than 800,000 premises passed and ready for service (RFS).

The company said in its latest quarterly rollout update that it expects to reach 1 million premises shortly as it works towards it target of 5 million premises by 2026.

Among the places set to benefit with significant volumes are Lincolnshire, Durham, Cheshire, Lancashire, Derbyshire, Kent and Buckinghamshire. Wales and Scotland are particular areas of focus, with new areas including Annan, Auchterarder and Biggar.

Rajiv Datta, chief executive of Nexfibre, said, "Our latest rollout update outlines the remarkable progress we’ve made; we are on track to build more than any other competitive fibre network this year (aside from the incumbent). Our aim is not just to transform access to full fibre broadband; but also to provide lasting national-scale competition in the full fibre market across the UK. We are here to be the sustainable catalyst that is required to drive progress and innovation, and in doing so stoke the growth the UK economy needs.

"Our focus from here is on ramping up our rollout and actively working with growth-focused ISPs – that prioritise quality, stability, and customer service – and onboarding them to our network. We’ve made a good start, and remain focused on boosting our presence in the market in the coming months."
