Truespeed Communications and Freedom Fibre have signed an agreement to combine their businesses.
The firms said the deal creates a scaled, capital-efficient full fibre platform which will play a leading role in the ongoing consolidation of the UK alternative network sector.
This merger brings together two businesses with a combined footprint of 412,000 premises ready for service, and 70,000 customers, concentrated across the North West, West Midlands, South West and East of England.
It is the latest deal in the ‘altnet’ sector amid challenges around scaling as standalone businesses.
