CityFibre is expanding its full fibre infrastructure to reach 100 UK towns and cities by targeting over 1 million premises in 5-10 cities for fibre to the home (FTTH) rollout in 2018. This will provide ubiquitous gigabit broadband and fibre for emerging 5G networks. CityFibre acquired Entanet to combine the leading competitor to BT Wholesale with the leading competitor to BT Openreach, opening full fibre infrastructure to over 1,500 independent ISP partners. The UK government supports full fibre and 5G through £1.7 billion in funding and intends for FTTP coverage of 10 million premises by 2022.
