CityFibre delivers full fibre business connectivity with high speed, resilience, and nationwide expansion. Key upgrade for digital transformation.
CityFibre is the UK's largest independent full fibre network, delivering symmetrical gigabit speeds (up to 10Gbps) with enterprise SLAs and 99.9% uptime guarantees—essential for cloud-first operations, remote work, and real-time cybersecurity monitoring. Unlike consumer-focused broadband, CityFibre's purpose-built business network separates traffic, eliminates copper bottlenecks, and scales with your organisation as it grows.
CityFibre is full fibre directly to your premises—fibre end-to-end with no copper "last mile." This eliminates reliability bottlenecks that plague legacy FTTC or hybrid networks.
CityFibre's network now covers over 285 towns and cities across the UK, with ambitious targets for 30%+ nationwide coverage by 2027. Check CityFibre availability at your postcode to confirm service in your area.
Result: CityFibre's full fibre delivers consistent performance whether it's peak hours or off-peak—critical for mission-critical applications.
Modern platforms like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and Slack require ultra-reliable, low-latency connections. Slow uploads cause cloud file sync delays. Poor connectivity drops VoIP calls mid-conversation. Real-time collaboration stutters.
To calculate your actual bandwidth requirements, try our VoIP Cost Savings Calculator—it factors in concurrent users, video conferencing, and cloud application load.
Hybrid and remote workers need smooth, consistent VPN access from anywhere. FTTC's variable speeds create frustration and security risks (employees seek faster, less secure alternatives). Full fibre delivers consistent speeds whether working from office or home.
Managed Detection and Response (MDR), SOC monitoring, and cloud SIEM require 24/7 low-latency connectivity. Brief slowdowns can delay threat detection by minutes—costing organisations £thousands in incident response time.
Pair CityFibre with enterprise-grade cybersecurity services for maximum protection.
Full fibre underpins failover, disaster recovery, and rapid scaling. As your business grows, you scale bandwidth instantly—no infrastructure limitations.
Choose CityFibre if: You prioritise guaranteed performance and automatic SLA credits.
Choose Openreach if: Cost is primary driver and best-effort reliability acceptable.
For detailed comparison, see our FTTP availability checker.
Choose CityFibre if: You want gigabit speeds at reasonable cost with flexibility and automatic scaling.
Choose leased line if: You need guaranteed uncontended bandwidth and can commit 3+ years.
For detailed comparison, see our FTTP vs Leased Line guide.
FTTC has slow upload, causing cloud file sync delays and VoIP instability.
CityFibre delivers symmetrical speeds: your upload is as fast as download. A 300Mbps CityFibre line delivers 300Mbps upload AND download—solving cloud backup delays and video conferencing issues instantly.
Shared broadband slows during peak hours (7pm–11pm), disrupting critical operations.
CityFibre's business-only network eliminates contention. Your service performs identically during peak and off-peak hours—guaranteed by written SLA with automatic credits for breaches.
Slow networks prevent cloud migrations, block security upgrades, and delay modernisation.

CityFibre engineer installs fibre to your premises. AMVIA validates performance, configures routers, and tests all systems. Most businesses go live within 2–4 weeks with zero downtime.
CityFibre's 99.9% SLA is backed by automatic credit—not just marketing language. Track monthly uptime metrics and ensure your provider reports transparently.
Full fibre costs £0.15–£0.30/Mbps (symmetrical). Leased line costs £2.60–£100+/Mbps. CityFibre delivers 10–20x more bandwidth per pound, enabling investment in other IT initiatives.
Modern cloud, security, and collaboration platforms require reliable, low-latency infrastructure. CityFibre enables:
Consistent connectivity enables hybrid work without security compromise. Remote workers experience identical performance to office-based staff—no excuse for using unsecured home networks.
CityFibre covers over 285 UK towns and cities. Use our CityFibre/FTTP availability checker to confirm service at your postcode. If not yet available, ask about planned rollout dates.
Typical CityFibre FTTP packages range £120–£300/month for gigabit-capable speeds. Standard FTTC costs £50–£80/month. Over 3 years, the premium (£20–£50/month) pays for itself through eliminated downtime, improved cloud performance, and elimination of workarounds.
Yes. Software-defined scaling means you upgrade speed instantly without physical infrastructure changes. From 100Mbps to 1Gbps takes minutes—no engineer visit, no disruption.
Typically: 99.9% uptime guarantee, sub-2-hour engineer response, mean time to repair (MTTR) under 4 hours, automatic credit (5–25% of monthly rental) for any breach. Confirm specifics with your provider before signing.
Absolutely. As voice and data converge on IP networks, fibre's reliability is only valuable if protected by enterprise cybersecurity services. Real-time threat monitoring over full fibre is far more effective than over slow, unreliable copper.
CityFibre is transforming UK business broadband. For organisations ready to invest in cloud, VoIP, security, and hybrid work, full fibre is no longer optional—it's essential infrastructure.
Ask yourself: Is our current network ready for today's cloud and security requirements?
If the answer is "no," the upgrade cost is modest compared to the boost in performance, resilience, and security. Organisations relying on outdated copper face:
