Company mission
Our aim is for our people, our partners and our suppliers to work together with the common purpose; to make full fibre, high-speed broadband available to everyone, at a price that is affordable.
Our take
Costs and rollout speed are two main issues with fibre network installations, especially in underserved parts of the UK. Freedom Fibre is a northwestern company that partners with internet service providers to install cost-effective networks across the UK. It positions itself as an altnet provider, working independently from wider broadband infrastructures, utilising fibre optics cables so that individuals and companies can run their own secure and speedy networks.
Freedom Fibre claims to be more than 40x faster and 5x more reliable than home broadband packages, and also develops fibre network solutions for enterprises, guaranteeing a 5-hour fix time on any errors or outages. It walks the walk, too, securing a partnership with major wholesale connectivity, voice, cloud and security provider Platform X Communications in 2025. This will see PXC use Freedom Fibre’s network for all of its solutions.
After a merger with VX Fibre in 2024, Freedom Fibre has established itself as a leader in the altnet fibre optics space. It is currently accelerating its fibre optics rollout across the UK.
