    Hyperoptic changes strategy with Openreach deal

    • Hyperoptic will reach “at least” one million more homes using Openreach’s fibre.
    • The deal replaces Hyperoptic’s previous strategy of building its own network.

    What happened: Hyperoptic Partners with Openreach to Boost Broadband Expansion

    Hyperoptic, a UK broadband provider, signed a deal with Openreach, the infrastructure division of BT Group. The deal will let Hyperoptic use Openreach’s fibre infrastructure to provide broadband to “at least” one million homes. This is a change from Hyperoptic’s past plan of building its own network. The new deal comes as demand for faster broadband grows in the UK. Hyperoptic wants to expand quickly and compete with other broadband providers.

    Hyperoptic, known for high-speed fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) broadband, will use Openreach’s existing network to grow faster and more affordably. The deal will help Hyperoptic provide broadband to homes across the country quicker. Other companies, like CityFibre and Community Fibre, have also worked with Openreach to expand their networks.

    Why it’s important

    The Hyperoptic and Openreach deal is important because it shows a change in Hyperoptic’s strategy. The company used to focus on building its own network. Now, it will grow faster by using Openreach’s infrastructure. This change is part of a larger trend in the UK broadband market, where companies are partnering to offer full-fibre broadband to more homes.

    This deal shows the growing competition in the UK broadband market. Big companies like Virgin Media O2 and other altnets, such as Netomnia and Gigaclear, are expanding quickly. Hyperoptic’s new plan could help it stay competitive in a crowded market.
