Alternative network operator FullFibre Limited (Zzoomm), which has deployed their Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) lines to cover 600,000 premises (RFS) and 80,000 customers across parts of 130+ market towns in England, has today announced that they’ve onboarded another ISP – Uptime Allies (The Cent.re Group) – to their UK network.

The Newcastle Upon Tyne based Uptime Allies is a relatively new ISP that was only founded in 2023. The company provides self-serve packages for broadband, email and website hosting, as well as leased lines, telephone and Voice over Internet (VoIP) services. The provider has also onboarded with several other broadband networks, such as Openreach (BT) and CityFibre.

NOTE: Zzoomm was originally supported by £224m in capital = £100m debt via banks (here), £12m from private investors and £112m via Oaktree Capital (here). By comparison, FullFibre Ltd was backed by investment from Basalt Infrastructure Partners LLP.

Karl Mitchell, co-founder and operations director of Uptime Allies, said: “For many years, the broadband industry has been dominated by big players, but now AltNets like FullFibre are working on the ground to deliver a competitive and affordable service to business and residential customers alike.”
