Our latest thinking

Has the runway just gotten shorter for UK fibre consolidation?

10 October 2024

Consolidation in the UK fibre market has been expected for some time, driven by rising debt costs and lower-than-anticipated customer take-up. However, recent financial struggles at the likes of Hyperoptic suggest this moment may be approaching faster than anticipated. The company’s latest results revealed significant losses, largely driven by interest costs doubling year-on-year, and a warning of “material uncertainty” over its ability to continue as a going concern.
