TalkTalk’s Business Wholesale Services (TTBWS) division is to partner with CityFibre to offer more choice to UK wholesale customers, by giving partners access to CityFibre’s business Ethernet infrastructure.
This will deliver “compelling pricing, increased flexibility and greater confidence to customers”, said TalkTalk.
The agreement builds on the existing relationship between TalkTalk, Virtual1 - which was acquired by TTBWS in March 2022 - and CityFibre. CityFibre’s Ethernet proposition will now be made available across the TTBWS business.
The partnership forms part of TalkTalk’s “altnet” strategy, growing providers across numerous products from FTTP to Ethernet. It is expected a number of other Ethernet suppliers will join the platform over the next year.
Tom O’Hagan, managing director of TalkTalk Business Wholesale Services, said: “CityFibre is already the largest alternative network, and this new B2B partnership opportunity will continue to grow as its footprint expands and product portfolio widens.”
George Wareing, chief sales officer at CityFibre, added: “The combination of TTBWS’ scale and automation, with our growing portfolio of differentiated business connectivity products, represents a compelling proposition in the industry.”
