Exeter wholesale broadband company agrees merger

An Exeter-based wholesale internet provider has agreed to merge with a rapidly growing Oxford-headquartered operator.

FullFibre, which has offices on Pynes Hill, and its in-house internet services provider (ISP) retail company BeFibre, has agreed the deal with Zzoomm, an established full-fibre business.

The enlarged group will have one of the largest full-fibre footprints with some 600,000 properties ready for service and over 65,000 customers. The bosses of the merged firms said the move would accelerate growth and boost operational efficiency.

It is also hoped the deal could lead on further mergers and acquisitions across the Altnet sector.
