With an annual build rate of one million premises, the operator is on track to reach three million serviceable premises by the end of 2025 and five million by 2027.

Jeremy Chelot, Group CEO of Netomnia, YouFibre and brsk, said the collaboration with STL enables the company to stay ahead of future connectivity demands. “We’re building an uncompromising full-fibre network for the UK’s future needs. To deliver at speed and scale, we rely on partners who innovate with us. STL’s technology and co-development approach help us roll out a reliable, future-ready network built for whatever comes next,” he said.
