The new Manchester city fibre network offers customers a new range of business internet or ethernet services with speeds up to 10Gbps and faster connection times, as well as quicker fixes and competitive pricing

Customers of global connectivity and cloud services provider, M247, can now access ultrafast fibre connectivity directly from its own network infrastructure following its full fibre city project in Manchester. 

The move has improved connectivity options for over 27,000 businesses across the city, increasing its reach in these areas by 146%.

Part of a wider expansion programme across M247’s UK and international networks, the project is a seven-figure investment. 

Furthermore, the new Manchester city fibre network offers customers a new range of business internet or ethernet services with speeds up to 10Gbps and faster connection times, as well as quicker fixes and competitive pricing. 

Exchanges have been unbundled across three key business districts in Manchester and M247 also owns full fibre access networks in London and Leeds.

It is planning to roll out further city networks in Liverpool and Birmingham within this financial year. 

“As businesses are increasingly adopting cloud technology, many are turning their attention to the kind of connectivity they use to achieve business grade speeds,” said Jenny Davies, chief executive officer at M247.

“Customers want the ability to choose which connectivity solution best fits their business needs, whether that be radio (wireless), fibre (cable) or both. Wireless connectivity will still continue to form a key part of our offering, and our Manchester city fibre network is about offering customers that choice all through one provider.”
