FullFibre and Zzoomm unite to enhance broadband reach

FullFibre, an Exeter-based wholesale broadband provider, has agreed to merge with the Oxford-headquartered Zzoomm. This merger aims to create one of the largest full-fibre networks in the UK, with 600,000 properties ready for service and over 65,000 customers. Key leaders, Matthew Hare from Zzoomm and James Warner from FullFibre, envisage this merger as a catalyst for further mergers and acquisitions within the Altnet sector. The merger will allow the combined entity to achieve economies of scale, enhance operational efficiency, and accelerate growth. The transaction, still awaiting regulatory approval, is anticipated to be finalized in early 2025. This merger is the second for FullFibre, which has already integrated with Digital Infrastructure and BeFibre.
