CityFibre has announced a major expansion of its partnership with Air Broadband, which will see the residential ISP and smart home specialist extend its Full Fibre broadband services to hundreds of thousands more homes over 10 new CityFibre networks.  

The announcement builds on Air Broadband’s successful launch of gigabit Full Fibre broadband services to residents in Ipswich, Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and Lowesoft over CityFibre’s state-of-the-art networks this year. Services went live in Derby on June 21. 

Strong consumer demand and take-up has now triggered the expansion of its rollout to people in Solihull, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Chester, Worcester, Preston, Blackpool, Derby, Norwich and Nottingham over the coming months.

Air Broadband joins a growing number of regional and local ISPs to offer affordable, reliable and symmetrical gigabit-speed Full Fibre broadband to local communities over CityFibre’s rapidly expanding national network.  

CityFibre’s nationwide build programme is expected to be substantially completed by 2025 and will address approximately a third of the UK market including at least 8 million homes, 800,000 businesses, 400,000 public sector sites and 250,000 5G access points.
