Openreach
3. To achieve full competition between three

“The UK will be a world leader in the availability
and capability of its digital networks”

is network based competition”

8. Who Benefits?

9. Customers in Hull had to
suffer with a poor mobile
network experience for
far too long. They can
now enjoy a fast and
reliable network in the
city.
Bryn Jones, CTO
CityFibre’s dark fibre
connectivity supported a 380%
increase in network traffic in
Hull, at the point of ‘switch on’.
With our customers’ data
usage rising all the time, a
flexible and cost effective
backhaul capacity solution
is hugely important so that
we can keep giving a world-
leading mobile experience.
