Marlin Communications Partners With Faster Britain

Marlin Communications has partnered with Faster Britain to support existing and prospective clients with full-fibre connectivity to enable better connectivity, collaboration and business growth.

Why do we need a Faster Britain?

The UK government has committed to investing £5 billion into the UK’s broadband network to ‘level up’ the UK so that businesses are prepared for the 2025 BT ISDN switch-off as well as ensuring that the UK can compete within the European economy. 

What is Faster Britain?

Why choose the Faster Britain network?

Faster Britain works with telecoms and technology partners to deliver ultrafast, full fibre connectivity to businesses of all sizes, from SMEs to Large Enterprise, across the UK. The network is building at pace and excelling in the competition for business-grade fibre infrastructure roll-out. 

Faster Britain key benefits:

  • They design, build and operate ultrafast networks, driven by partner and business requirements.
  • They are experts in the industry cooperating, innovating and bringing fibre to under-served areas across the UK.
  • They work with businesses, local authorities and partners to extend the Faster Britain network by utilising existing infrastructure.
  • They have a proven track record of connecting businesses to the network in a fraction of the time it takes some competitors.
  • Their impact on the environment is minimised and reuse is utilised wherever possible.

The Faster Britain network is playing a key role in supporting the government’s vision for 85% Gigabit capacity by 2025. It’s on track to pass 500,000 UK business premises by the end of 2022. Marlin Communications has chosen to partner with Faster Britain to deliver ultrafast, full-fibre connectivity to businesses of all sizes, across the UK. 

Does my business need full-fibre?

As the 2025 deadline comes ever closer, many copper-based broadband systems will be switched-off leaving businesses without the much needed connectivity that they’ve grown to rely on, especially for hybrid working. 

One of these broadband systems is FTTC (Fibre-to-the-cabinet) which still uses copper to connect the cabinet to the business premise. If your business still uses FTTC, you will need to make the change to FTTP (fibre-to-the-premises) before 2025 to keep your business connected. 

A Full Fibre Solution

A business that is connected with full fibre can switch from 100Mbps to 10Gbps instantly, meaning that your connection speed can flex and scale as your business grows. Whilst you may not need heavy-duty bandwidth right now, investing in the infrastructure helps future-proof your business and allows you to grow when you’re ready.
