At CityFibre, we’re building a new, intelligent, open-access fibre network, purpose built for the data age. We’re upgrading communities across the country, giving people a better foundation for their digital lives, enabling businesses to innovate, and helping to strengthen the UK economy. Our national networks are expanding rapidly, and we are already the network of choice for major Internet Service Providers and mobile operators including TalkTalk, Three, Vodafone and Zen, as well as dozens of exciting smaller providers. Using our networks, our customers can provide theirs, be they homes, businesses, schools, or hospitals with broadband, Ethernet and mobile connections so quick and reliable, you can practically take them for granted. With almost two million premises already passed, our fully financed rollout programme is on track to serve a third of the UK.

Growth, as the source summarises it

CityFibre achieved a revenue milestone of £100 million in 2023. The company also reached profitability, challenging BT Openreach and Virgin Media. Additionally, CityFibre acquired Lit Fibre to increase its footprint and was awarded five new rural broadband contracts by the UK government. CityFibre, along with nexfibre, gained further gigabit ground in southern England.
