VirginMediaO2 are buying one of the UK's largest altnet providers Netomnia, owner of Nexfibre. Together they'll pass around 20M addresses with their full-fibre/gigabit capable cable services. Thats just shy of Openreach's current 21M full fibre passed addresses

Netomnia is a fibre broadband provider only founded in 2019. Its cables pass 2.8M houses and they have 400,000 customers currently. Thats pretty good going. Now it might be bought by VirginMediaO2.

Im sure there's somehwat of a reason for it (relatively low housing density perhaps) but why does a major town like Hexham in Northumberliand not already have more Openreach FTTP coverage than it does? At least VirginMediaO2 has stepped in.

Some have questioned the viability of building out multiple broadband networks in some areas of the UK eg there are areas with Openreach, VirginMediaO2, Hyperoptic (in apts), Community Fibre, and maybe more. The latter serves parts of London with around 336k customers.

On Tuesday five volunteers from VirginmediaO2, plus our volunteer supervisors, braved the heat to work along the towpath at Summerhill. Given the conditions they did really well! 🥵

At lunch we conducted a revised risk assessment, and all went home for separate cold showers.

A lovely team of VirginMediaO2 volunteers joined us at Muckley Common yesterday! They helped clear the future canal path, which we are responsible for managing, but left plenty of nettles and wildflowers for wildlife. Thanks, team!

There's an undeniable degree of squick involved with Branson having given all his companies that name and being a known friend of Epstien.

Suspect the telly folks will stop licensing the name from him pretty soon. They've already changed most of the branding to VirginMediaO2
