About
Opus Broadband (previously trading under brand 6Gi Internet / "6Gi") relaunched/rebranded as Opus Broadband. Their business-broadband arm states launch in 2021, starting in Blackburn and Burnley, expanding across parts of North West England. Opus Broadband acts as both an ISP (selling broadband services to end-users and businesses) and claims to own and operate its own infrastructure (so is also a network operator). They operate a network combining fixed-wireless access (wireless links to properties) plus their own "full-fibre / fixed-fibre" where they've deployed fibre optic infrastructure. They state they "utilise their own superfast broadband network infrastructure, offering a true alternative to traditional operators" and are "not reliant on third party delivery networks". Their infrastructure mix – fixed-wireless + fibre – allows them to reach "underserved" or previously poorly served areas (especially in parts of North West England), where traditional copper- or Openreach-based broadband has been poor. They provide different service types depending on location: fixed-wireless for more marginal areas; full-fibre where they have deployed fibre; fallback on third-party network if needed. Their offering is pitched also towards landlords and multi-dwelling units (HMO, serviced accommodation, rentals), with add-ons like mesh-WiFi or enterprise-LAN/wiring (Source), (Source), (Source), (Source), (Source).
