WightFibre is a full-fibre network operator on the Isle of Wight. WightFibre provides telephone and broadband internet services exclusively to homes and businesses on the Isle of Wight.
Historically WightFibre has operated a hybrid fibre-coaxial network (HFC) service around 25% of the Island. It was the last remaining cable company in the UK which is not part of Virgin Media, which since March 2006, has operated more than 95% of cable services in the UK. In November 2017 WightFibre secured £35M of funding from Infracapital Partners (ICP, part of M&G Investments) matched funded by private investors and the UK Governments Digital Infrastructure Fund. This funding is allowing WightFibre to upgrade its HFC network to a full-fibre (Fibre to the Premise(FTTP)) network and to extend coverage to over 50,000 homes on the island. In summer 2020 the company secured additional funding from ICP and NatWest to take total funding to over £90M to take total planned coverage to 78,000 premises.
WightFibre's Gigabit Island project commenced in autumn 2018, accelerating in January 2019. The first 35,000 homes are complete (Feb 2022) with 10,000 customers connected. The company aims to reach 60,000 homes by December 2022. Symmetrical broadband speeds of up to 900 Mb are on offer.
