At Gig Fibre, we're committed to bringing fast, reliable fibre broadband to as many homes and businesses as possible. That's why we're excited to announce that we now offer broadband services across several of the UK's leading alternative network providers (commonly known as "Alt Nets"), including CityFibre, Freedom Fibre, Trooli and MS3.
But what exactly is an Alt Net, and why should you care?
What Is an Alt Net?
An "Alt Net" (Alternative Network) is a broadband infrastructure provider that has built its own fibre network rather than relying on the traditional Openreach network.
For many years, Openreach was effectively the only large-scale network available to internet service providers. While Openreach continues to play a vital role in UK connectivity, a new generation of fibre network operators has emerged to increase competition, improve service quality and accelerate the rollout of full fibre broadband.
These alternative networks have invested billions of pounds into building brand-new Fibre-to-the-Premises (FTTP) infrastructure, bringing ultrafast broadband to millions of properties across the UK.
Why Are Alt Nets Important?
Alt Nets are helping to transform the UK's broadband landscape by:
- Increasing competition
- Driving down prices
- Improving customer service
- Accelerating full fibre deployment
- Delivering faster upload and download speeds
- Reducing reliance on ageing copper networks
Many Alt Nets have built entirely new fibre networks directly to homes and businesses, providing a future-proof solution capable of supporting gigabit and multi-gigabit speeds.

Openreach Coverage Still Available
While we're excited to offer services across multiple Alt Net networks, Gig Fibre also continues to provide broadband services over the Openreach network.
