F&W Networks Builds Full Fibre to Cover 335,000 UK Premises

Hammersmith-based F&W Networks has this afternoon announced that their new gigabit-capable full fibre (FTTP) broadband network has grown to cover 335,000 UK premises (up from 250,000 in late Feb 2023), which puts them on course to reach their goal of 1 million premises by 2025.

At present, F&W Networks is busy deploying their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network across parts of several counties in England including West Sussex (Horsham and Southwater), Oxfordshire, Greater London, Buckinghamshire (Gerrards Cross, Chalfont Saint Peter, High Wycombe and Beaconsfield), Hertfordshire (Hemel Hempstead), Hampshire, West Berkshire and Surrey (Godalming) etc.

NOTE: F&W Networks (Fibre and Wireless) has received tens of millions in investment from Maestro Capital and Foresight Group LLP.

The network is supported by a number of ISPs, such as Hey! Broadband, Merula and Octaplus (Octaplus Supercharged), and rollouts are now said to be underway in over 38 areas in Southern England (F&W Networks claims to have completed its primary build plans in 12 of its initial locations).

José Luis San Martín, CEO at F&W Networks, said:

“We’re excited at the huge progress we’ve made over the course of last year. The third of a million homes that we have built to date shows that we are set to achieve our goal of one million homes passed by 2025, and will continue to focus on scaling our partnerships, operations, and efficiencies.”

However, at the time of writing it remains unclear whether all of the stated premises are fully ‘Ready for Service’ (RFS), and we’ve asked F&W to confirm.
