Financial details of the deal have not been disclosed
UK full fibre network operator MS3 Networks has added Fusion Fibre Group, known until recently as FACTCO, as a network partner.
As a result, Fusion Fibre Group will now be able to sell services to customers using MS3’s 10Gbps capable Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) network, which currently covers 174,261 premises in the North of England, as of January 4.
MS3 is backed by investment from Madrid-based Asterion and focuses their deployment primarily in East Yorkshire. The company is currently deploying its new network in 30 locations across the area, aiming to reach 535,000 UK premises by the end of 2025.
Fusion Fibre Group is itself a fibre network operator as well as an ISP, with 14 networks complete or under construct in Durham, Northumberland, the North West, and Yorkshire. Combined with the companies five wholesale partners (which now includes MS3), Fusion Fibre can now sell its full fibre services to 15 million properties.
“Our recent rebrand has allowed us to fuse together all areas of our expertise to offer a brand that truly represents who we are and what we’re working to achieve”, said Fusion Fibre’s Managing Director Adrian Marshman in a statement.
“Partnering with MS3 plays a key role in our expansion plan. Access to MS3’s fibre network will allow us to connect customers in areas that have been historically difficult to reach. We can now provide connections to more than 15 million properties across the UK.”
