If you’re comparing broadband options, you’ve likely come across two major UK networks: CityFibre and Openreach. They’re often mentioned alongside internet providers, but they’re not ISPs themselves. They build and maintain the infrastructure that providers like Exascale use to deliver your service. At Exascale, we deliver our… Read More

What does “Multi-Gig” actually mean for you at home?
You’ve probably seen broadband speeds advertised in megabits for years. “Up to 67Mb”, “superfast 100Mb”, the numbers keep changing but things still feel slow when everyone’s home at once. Multi-Gig is a completely different league.
CityFibre has upgraded its entire national network to a technology capable of delivering symmetrical speeds of up to 8.5 gigabits per second. In real terms: downloading a full 4K film in under 10 seconds. Zero lag on video calls while someone else streams in the next room. No more choosing between who gets the good connection.
Crucially, these speeds are symmetrical, meaning your upload is just as fast as your download. That matters more than ever if you work from home, share large files, back up your photos to the cloud, or video call regularly.

4K streaming, everywhere Multiple screens, zero competition for bandwidth. |
Crystal-clear video calls Fast uploads mean you look as good as you sound. |

Gaming without the lag Low latency, fast downloads, no interruptions. |
Backups that just happen Photos and files sync overnight without slowing anything down. |

Full fibre is different from what most homes have now
Most UK homes are still on a “fibre” connection that’s actually part copper. The fibre runs to a cabinet down the street, then old copper phone wire carries it the rest of the way to your front door. That copper is the bottleneck.
CityFibre’s network is full fibre, end to end. The cable that runs into your home is fibre optic from start to finish, which means faster speeds, rock-solid reliability, and a connection that doesn’t slow down when the neighbours get home from work.
Full fibre doesn’t just mean faster broadband today. It’s infrastructure built to handle whatever comes next, for years to come.
Why get it through Exascale?
CityFibre is the network. Exascale is who looks after you on it. That distinction matters, because the quality of your broadband experience depends as much on your ISP as it does on the underlying cables.
