Partnership with Virgin Media O2

Through its build partnership with Virgin Media O2, the UK wholesale network operator delivered its network to more premises than any other fibre provider in 2024, except for the incumbent, which makes it the UK’s second-largest alternative network provider, the company announced on Thursday, January 9, 2025.

10Gbps XGS-PON

Nexfibre attributed this progress to its focus on high build density, rigorous quality control and auditing processes, and the deployment of XGS-PON technology. The company highlighted that it is the only fibre provider of significant scale to exclusively use 10Gbps XGS-PON technology.

Rajiv Datta, Chief Executive Officer of nexfibre, commented on the milestone: “This is an outstanding achievement in just two years of operation – making nexfibre the UK’s second largest alternative network. However, our work is far from done. Our mission is to be part of a network platform that drives sustainable, nationwide competition, provides a genuine alternative to Openreach, and transforms access to broadband across the country.”
