Fibre Network Support for Altnets & Their Partners

Our fibre network support gives altnets flexible, accredited build capacity — poling, cabling, splicing and PIA work that scales with your programme instead of holding it back.

What our fibre network support covers

Altnet build programmes live and die by capacity. We give altnets and their build partners crews that flex with the rollout — up for the push, down for the pause — without the fixed overhead of growing your own teams.

  • Overhead build support and fibre installations for FTTP rollouts

  • PIA poling, cabling and make-ready works

  • Splicing and testing to close out routes
  • Survey-to-splice packages — starting with network surveys
  • Capacity agreements for multi-month programmes 

Scale up in weeks, not quarters.

2–4 week mobilisation, nationwide

PIA fluency.

Make-ready, capacity and validation understood, so fewer NOI headaches. Background on PIA at openreach.co.uk

Whole-route capability.

One contractor from survey to splice means your PM manages one relationship, not five.

How a capacity engagement runs

1. Build plan review.

Share the rollout plan; we identify where our crews add most — poling, make-ready, cabling or splicing.

2. Agree the model.

Route packages, labour capacity or a standing monthly commitment — whatever matches your funding profile.

3. Mobilise.

Crews on the programme in 2–4 weeks, inducted and reporting your way.

4. Flex.

Scale up for the push, hold for the pause, without renegotiating from scratch each time.

FAQs

Both — directly for altnets and as capacity for their tier-1 and build partners.

Yes. Talk to us about capacity agreements for multimonth rollouts.

Often, yes — surveys and make-ready can run ahead while the pack is finalised.

Routinely. We slot in beside incumbents without the elbows.
