Netomnia, The UK’s second-largest alternative network (Alt-Net), has built one of the UK’s fastest-growing Full Fibre networks, engineered for speed, reliability and scale. Through its partnership with Fibre Café, Netomnia is expanding the opportunity for leading ISPs and MSPs to simplify onboarding and accelerating wholesale fibre growth across the country.
The Context: A Fragmented Market Needing Connection
The UK’s connectivity market is evolving fast, with an increasing number of wholesale fibre offerings. With that evolution, network integration complexity continues to slow growth. Service providers face a choice: manage multiple network relationships, systems and commercial terms, or find smarter ways to connect.
Fibre Café was designed to take the complexity out of interconnecting networks and service providers. Created by Strategic Imperatives, it gives networks and providers a single place to integrate once and connect to many. For fast-scaling networks like Netomnia, that means instant reach into a ready ecosystem of wholesale partners.
“As more networks look to expand their wholesale reach, the focus is shifting from access to integration – from building fibre to building connections.”
– Donal Hanrahan, Managing Director, Strategic Imperatives
The Partnership: Connecting Netomnia to the Ecosystem
Netomnia’s network covers over 2.8 million premises serviceable as of Sep 2025, with a goal of reaching five million by 2027. It’s the UK’s fourth-largest Full Fibre network, offering 10 Gbps speeds, 99.99% uptime and a capital-efficient platform.
By joining the Fibre Café ecosystem, Netomnia has made its infrastructure accessible to service providers across the UK, including established brands and challenger ISPs such as IDNet and Talk Straight.
Integration through Fibre Café means:
- Standardised APIs and processes that reduce IT/engineering effort
- Faster onboarding and time-to-market for wholesale partners
- A consistent, scalable order journey that supports growth
“We’re not just laying fibre; we’re dismantling the wholesale status quo. Fibre Café helps us do that by removing barriers and making our network easier to access.”
– Matthew Skipsey, MD of Wholesale, Netomnia
The Impact: Simplified Growth and Shared Value
The collaboration between Netomnia and Fibre Café enables service providers to scale without complexity.
- Speed: ISPs can integrate once and instantly access Netomnia’s footprint.
- Certainty: API-driven onboarding reduces risk and error.
- Reach: Fibre Café connects Netomnia to a growing ecosystem of UK wholesale partners.
Together, Fibre Café and Netomnia are proving that partnerships built on collaboration deliver faster, more sustainable growth. It gives the UK’s top B2B providers faster access to world-class fibre infrastructure.
“This partnership turns technical network integration into commercial opportunity, simplifying how service providers connect and accelerating how networks scale.”
– Donal Hanrahan, Managing Director, Strategic Imperatives
The Future: Building the Ecosystem Together
By making it easier for networks and service providers to work together, Fibre Café and Netomnia are helping to build a more open and connected wholesale ecosystem – one that enables faster collaboration and greater choice for the UK market.
As the market continues to evolve, both organisations share a single goal: helping the UK’s connectivity channel move faster, collaborate better and deliver more choice to customers nationwide.
Netomnia sums it up best: “The network is live. Our team is ready. Enough talk – let’s connect.”
