Netomnia crosses 50,000 homes and businesses threshold

Cheltenham-based fibre network operator Netomnia has just passed 50,000 homes and businesses across its rollout areas.

The outfit has added 20,000 premises to its network in the last two months and is delivering its infrastructure in 14 towns across England, with more to come over the coming months, as it aims to connect 100,000 homes and businesses by the end of 2021, and one million premises by 2024.

Netomnia’s infrastructure allows for symmetrical (equal upload and download speeds) gigabit services up to 10 Gbps (10,000 Mbps) using XGS-PON technology; this means ISPs using Netomnia’s network will be able to offer their customers reliable ultrafast speeds for decades to come.

Jeremy Chelot, Netomnia CEO, said: “To have passed more than 50,000 premises in such a short time is an incredible achievement and testament to our people’s talent, drive and innovation, as well as to our construction partners’ vast capabilities and openness to new ways of working. I’m proud of the way we have risen to the challenge of providing networks that quite frankly embarrass the rest of the UK, with little fuss and disruption.”
