Hyperoptic is the UK's largest fibre to the building internet service provider, currently serving over 100,000 homes in 12 cities. They aim to reach 500,000 homes by 2018. Hyperoptic installs its own dedicated fibre network directly to residential and commercial buildings, bypassing Openreach's infrastructure. This allows them to offer symmetric internet speeds of 20Mb, 100Mb, and 1Gb with no distance limitations. Hyperoptic has fully funded backing and works closely with property developers, housing associations, and private landlords to install its network with minimal disruption.
