About
Incorporated in 2010 (Source), (Source). Owned by Telecom Acquisitions Ltd (TAL); TAL was controlled by TalkTalk until 8 September 2026, when TalkTalk ceased to hold significant control and TAL became a fully separate company (Source). Does not own its own network infrastructure; instead sources broadband from other network operators (including MS3 Networks, FullFibre, Freedom Fibre, Openreach, Virgin Media O2, F&W Networks and CityFibre) and sells to end users (Source), (Source). Business model focuses on being a "broadband and utility specialist" – often bundles broadband with other home-move services (utilities, energy, water, council tax setup) for tenants and landlords, targeting residential customers especially in the home-move/rental market (Source), (Source). In March 2024 acquired the customer base of No One Internet (Source). In April 2024 acquired the Openreach-based customer base of Cuckoo Internet (Source).
