About G.Network:
G.Network is a full fibre broadband provider. The company digs streets to install state-of-the-art full fibre connections directly to residents and businesses across London. The capital’s broadband is notoriously under-invested, with many residents and business still reliant on older, copper-based connectivity which delivers limited speeds.
G.Network has already dug past over 300,000 premises, and will pass 1.4m in the years ahead. This includes privately owned, privately rented, housing association, council-owned and commercial properties. The company completed a £1bn fundraise in December 2020. Its principal backers are the Universities Superannuation Scheme and Cube Infrastructure Managers.
G.Network connections range from 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) to 10 Gigabits per second (10 Gbps) month. The service is priced competitively so that customers benefit from superior fibre connectivity at the same or even lower cost than current copper-based services.
