Telcom Group unveils new wholesale proposition

Telcom Group has announced a new wholesale proposition, including a portal that enables partners to compare availability, delivery lead times and pricing for full fibre and fixed wireless services.

The new GigaBritain offering and wholesale portal gives channel partners access to 10Gbps connectivity with a 100 per cent uptime guarantee available.

Telcom Group manages its own full fibre and fixed wireless network in Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Liverpool, with the recent addition of London through Telcom Group's acquisition of Luminet. Cardiff is scheduled to be added in the coming months. 

To ensure national coverage, Telcom has also partnered with national carriers including BT Wholesale, Virgin Media Business and Sky Business.

Will Goodall, head of wholesale and carriers, Telcom Group (pictured), said, “We are delighted at partner reaction to GigaBritain, informing us that it was a relief to finally see a company focusing on the personal side of business rather than the transactional side. As expected, many of them said that our presence in the channel is like a breath of fresh air and this change in the industry is long overdue.

“Unlike other channel providers who can’t be flexible, our dedicated partner delivery team and in-house engineering means we can own expectation setting and adapt to the end user requirements of every partner. We look forward to working with our new channel partners on this exciting journey and to their help in building GigaBritain together to suit their requirements and their customers.”

Alex Morris, managing director, Metrotech Solutions, added, “Metrotech are proud to be one of the key founding partners as part of the launch of GigaBritain. Telcom has brought something new to the channel, by building its own full fibre and fixed wireless network and we are excited to be part of it.

“Large carriers are difficult to work with as they are not flexible and agile enough, whereas Telcom is very much a key strategic partner to our business who we enjoy working with. Its service delivery team, and portal makes our lives easier and of course the fact they have their own team of over 120 civil, infrastructure and network engineers helps enormously.”
