Why Exascale Choose CityFibre: Our Partnership Explained
Full fibre broadband is only as good as the network underneath it. That’s why we partner with CityFibre to bring you real full fibre speeds across Wolverhampton and beyond, backed by our own network, our own data centres, and a connection straight to the heart of the internet.
Here’s why we chose CityFibre, and why that choice matters for your broadband.
The Problem With Most Broadband
Not all broadband is built the same way. A lot of providers still rely on old copper cables for the last stretch into your home, even if the rest of the network is fibre. That last bit of copper is where speeds drop and reliability suffers.
Full fibre means fibre optic cable all the way to your door. No copper bottleneck. No slowdown at peak times. Just a fast, stable connection that works when you need it.
Why We Partner With CityFibre
CityFibre is building one of the UK’s largest independent full fibre networks, reaching millions of homes with gigabit-capable infrastructure. By partnering with CityFibre, we can bring genuine full fibre broadband to homes and businesses across Telford and Wrekin, including our CityFibre Multi-Gig products offering speeds up to 2.5Gbps.
But a great cable is only half the story. What happens once your traffic reaches our network is just as important, and that’s where Exascale does things differently.
It’s Not Just CityFibre. It’s Exascale Too.
Plenty of providers resell full fibre without owning much of the network behind it. We’re different. Exascale has been building UK internet infrastructure since 2013, and we bring that experience directly into every connection we sell.
- Seven UK data centres, giving us direct control over performance and reliability rather than relying entirely on third parties.
- A top-ten UK internet peering ranking, meaning your traffic reaches its destination faster with fewer hops along the way.
- Our own full fibre network in Telford and Wrekin, built and maintained by us, not just resold.
- Partnerships beyond CityFibre, including Gigaclear and Openreach infrastructure, so we can offer full fibre in more places rather than being tied to one network.
In short, CityFibre lays the fibre to your door. Exascale makes sure what travels down it gets where it’s going, quickly and reliably.
What This Means for You
When you order broadband from Exascale over CityFibre, you’re not just buying a fast connection. You’re buying into a network built on serious infrastructure, run by a UK provider that owns its own backbone rather than renting someone else’s.
That means fewer dropouts, better speeds at peak times, and a provider who actually understands the technology behind your connection when you need support.
