Lightning Fibre Expands Its Services To Thousands More Homes on the CityFibre Network
Lightning Fibre is pleased to announce a major expansion of its wholesale partnership with CityFibre, enabling the company to offer its full fibre broadband services to thousands of new premises in towns across the South coast of England.
Lightning Fibre will soon launch City Fibre services to residents and businesses in Polegate, Eastbourne and Hastings. This expansion builds on the wholesale agreement signed with CityFibre last year through which it announced the launch of services in Worthing, Brighton and Hove over the wholesale challenger’s network.
As a vertically integrated network operator with its own fibre networks, Lightning Fibre will continue to use its own infrastructure where available. The wholesale agreement with CityFibre enables it to significantly expand its serviceable footprint, enabling it to acquire new customers and retain more home movers.
Rob Reaks, Chief Commercial Officer at Lightning Fibre, commented: “We are delighted to be able to extend our footprint by leveraging CityFibre’s robust infrastructure. This agreement will enable us to reach even more homes and businesses with ultrafast and ultra-reliable full fibre technology.”
This expansion reinforces Lightning Fibre’s commitment to delivering high-quality broadband across the South East and, to some degree, reduce churn due to customer relocation.
George Wareing, ChiefSales Officer at CityFibre, added: “It’s great to see Lightning Fibre build ontheir success over our network. With CityFibre infrastructure across the South East, they now have a far larger footprint over which to offer their services, and residents and businesses will now have an even greater choice of provider.”
