Giganet already offers full fibre broadband services to millions of homes and businesses across the UK through network partnerships
Internet service provider Giganet has chosen UK fibre connectivity supplier Neos Networks to help drive network expansion across the UK.
Neos Networks will provide connectivity to support its new southern counties network and its plans to rollout gigabit fibre-to-the-premise (FTTP) services.
Giganet is aiming to have the core network and first four exchange rings live by the end of this year, and plans to build 300,000 homes across Hampshire, Wiltshire, Dorset and West Sussex with its own fibre network rollout within four years.
The two companies began the project in 2021, and Neos Networks will provide Giganet with the local connectivity needed to carry traffic to its data centres and its national networks.
Partnership
Giganet chief technology officer Matthew Skipsey said: “Neos Networks rose to the challenge of providing us with resilient and high capacity backhaul circuits across a wide range of exchanges as well as our core data centres.
“The ready availability of high-quality resilient connections to our points of presence, undoubtedly enabled us to quickly roll-out hyperfast, full broadband to a marketplace hungry for improved connectivity.”
Neos Networks chief revenue officer Sarah Mills added: “Both Neos Networks and Giganet have adopted a collaborative approach to this relationship.
“This has resulted not only in solutions being delivered faster than ever, as the Giganet network grows, it also gives us the ability to transition connectivity between points of presence without any disruption.
“There is no doubt that by working in partnership with alternative network providers, like Giganet, UK residents will benefit from a better, faster, and more resilient connectivity.”
