Exascale, one of the UK’s fastest-growing Internet Service Providers (ISPs), is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with CityFibre, the UK’s largest independent full fibre platform. This collaboration enables Exascale to deliver ultrafast Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) and Ethernet services to both residential and business customers across the UK.
This agreement greatly expands Exascale’s national footprint by leveraging CityFibre’s cutting-edge, carrier-grade infrastructure, which spans more than 60 towns and cities across the country. With immediate effect, Exascale will offer gigabit-speed broadband and high-capacity Ethernet access, bringing scalable, low-latency connectivity to customers in both urban and underserved areas.
One of the most powerful outcomes of this partnership is the ability for Exascale’s existing channel partners to gain overnight access to CityFibre’s extensive UK footprint. This enables partners to rapidly expand their reach and deliver advanced FTTP and Ethernet services without delay or additional infrastructure investment.
Thomas Bibb, CEO of Exascale, said:
“At Exascale, our mission has always been to provide fast and dependable connectivity across the UK. Partnering with CityFibre enables us to dramatically accelerate our full fibre rollout and bring world-class broadband to even more businesses and homes. We’re especially excited about the opportunity this brings to our channel partners, who can now deliver services across CityFibre’s network instantly. This is a major leap forward for everyone involved.”
Ollie Moore, Account Manager at CityFibre, commented:
“We’re excited to welcome Exascale to our partner ecosystem. Their deep technical expertise and commitment to customer satisfaction align strongly with our mission to transform the UK’s digital infrastructure. Together, we’re opening up new possibilities for partners and customers nationwide.”
