Network operator and UK ISP CommunityFibre, which has deployed their full fibre broadband (FTTP) network to cover 1.4 million homes (across London and the South East) and aims to reach 2m by 2028-2029 (here), has today become the latest alternative network to launch a Netgem PLEIO powered pay TV service.
PLEIO reflects a live TV (Freely) and cloud gaming service that’s supported by a new 4K IPTV set-top-box and streaming platform, which can alternatively be purchased separately via Amazon for £129 (includes set-top-box, remote control, gamepad and 12-month premium content subscription).
However, some broadband providers also bundle it and this makes sense for CommunityFibre as they’ve been working with Netgem for the past five years, albeit via their older TV platform. The adoption of PLEIO could thus be seen as an upgrade to that.
