AllPoints Fibre Networks (APFN) has announced a new partnership with BT Wholesale to expand its full fibre broadband reach across the UK. With network connections now established, APFN expects to provide wholesale access to over 17 million homes and businesses.
In case you’re unaware, AllPoints, as a group, owns multiple networks, including Jurassic Fibre, Swish Fibre, and Giganet, while also leveraging CityFibre’s network. AllPoints is the wholesale brand for these networks, and it now includes a national offering with the new BTW partnership. Cuckoo, also owned by AllPoints, operates as the consumer brand across these networks.
The industry has been eagerly anticipating AllPoints’ next move, and this national partnership announcement is a positive step forward. There has been significant demand for wholesale access to Swish, Jurassic, and Giganet networks from both consumer and business perspectives.
It’s clear AllPoints aims to become a major national wholesale player, likely targeting both business FTTP and Ethernet (leased lines), plus consumer FTTP, leveraging their own internal networks. For any wholesale provider to succeed, a strong national presence is essential—making this latest development particularly exciting.
Commenting on the partnership, APFN Group CEO Jarlath Finnegan said, “Our close and growing partnership with BT Wholesale is a key part of our strategic plans. We’re delighted to be working with them and look forward to many years of collaboration ahead.”
Gavin Jones, Channel Director at BT Wholesale, added: “We’re pleased to be working with APFN as they gain access to our full fibre services, opening up the benefits of enhanced connectivity to more customers, supporting a range of uses and devices.”
We’ll be sure to keep everyone in the loop of any future announcements, but I think we’ll be seeing and hearing a lot more from the brand early next year! Exciting times.
