Alternative network operator Netomnia (Brsk and ISP YouFibre), which has already expanded their 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) broadband network to cover 2.08 million premises (RFS) across over 90 UK cities and towns, have today confirmed that their roll-out in Swansea (Wales) has reached 50,000 premises.
Starting in the community of Morriston during 2022, Netomnia has since expanded its XGS-PON based full fibre network to cover even more areas in Swansea City. The 50,000 figure being announced today also reflects premises that are ready for service. But the deployment is still ongoing, with “plans to deliver thousands more premises in the coming months.”
Netomnia is currently aiming to expand their full fibre network to cover 3 million UK premises by the end of 2025 (inc. 1 million customers by 2028).
Zoltan Kovacs, Managing Director at Netomnia, said:
“Reaching 50,000 premises in Swansea and Morriston is a fantastic milestone for us. Our infrastructure, with its symmetrical ultrafast speeds and reliability, empowers residents and businesses to innovate, collaborate, and stay ahead in a fast-developing digital world. This investment reinforces our commitment to building robust, next-generation connectivity that will support the community’s digital evolution for decades to come.”
We should point out that both Virgin Media and Openreach have also covered most of Swansea with gigabit-capable broadband, while Hyperoptic has some smaller deployments in the central and coastal parts of the city.
