A new partnership between broadband service provider Fusion Fibre Group and infrastructure firm F&W Networks is set to accelerate the rollout of full fibre connectivity across the South of England.

The deal will see Manchester-based Fusion Fibre Group offer services using F&W Networks’ open access fibre infrastructure, which already reaches over 410,000 premises across more than 30 towns and cities. 

The move is designed to fast-track delivery of gigabit-speed internet to both rural and urban areas, including places where copper-based networks are still in use.

London-headquartered F&W’s existing footprint spans six counties and includes areas such as High Wycombe, Crawley, Horsham and Ealing. 

The network offers symmetrical gigabit speeds and has been built with scalability in mind, supporting future upgrades to multi-gigabit services as demand increases.

With the integration, Fusion Fibre Group is aiming to accelerate time to market for its broadband products while simplifying the operational process of connecting new customers.

“We’re delighted to partner with Fusion Fibre Group, whose customer-first ethos and rapid growth make them an ideal collaborator in our ongoing network expansion. 

“Together, we’ll bring high quality full fibre connectivity to thousands more homes and businesses.”

Fusion Fibre Group managing director, Adrian Marsham, added: “We’re thrilled to partner with F&W Networks, whose commitment to building high quality fibre infrastructure aligns perfectly with our mission. 

“This partnership enables us to extend our full fibre services to more communities across the South of England, ensuring that both rural and growing urban centres benefit from the kind of full fibre connectivity that transforms lives.”
