- Expansion driven by 10Gb XGS-PON technology and a new delivery assurance guarantee
What happened: CityFibre triples business Ethernet coverage across the UK
CityFibre has tripled the number of UK businesses that can get its dedicated Ethernet services. The total jumped from 80,000 to over 260,000. This makes it easier for more companies to access fast and reliable fibre connections. CityFibre made this change by upgrading its network with 10Gb XGS-PON technology. It is using this upgrade across its fibre-to-the-premise network.
The company also built a special Ethernet platform just for businesses. This platform helps internet service providers give strong, reliable connections with clear service guarantees. Over the last year, CityFibre worked with its partners to improve how fast it connects new customers. As a result, installation times dropped by up to 40%.
To make things more certain, CityFibre added a delivery assurance guarantee. This gives extra pay to partners if delays happen. This is helpful for partners who need to finish customer projects on time.

Why it’s important
More businesses now use online tools and cloud services every day. They need strong and steady internet connections to work well. CityFibre’s expansion gives partners a bigger area to serve. They can reach more businesses and run local marketing more easily.
CityFibre also offers prices that are up to 20% lower than major rivals. This helps partners stay competitive. Nathan Marke from Giacom said this wider network and better service give peace of mind. He believes the delivery guarantee shows that CityFibre listens and acts.
Nick Shraga from Southern Communications said their customers grow quickly and need strong support. He said the larger network, good prices, and better service will help UK businesses keep moving forward.
