Fibrus Network Expansion 2025: Coverage & Availability Updates

Fibrus has emerged as one of the most aggressive full fibre network builders in the UK, with particularly strong presence in Northern Ireland and expanding operations across Great Britain. As an "altnet" (alternative network provider), Fibrus builds its own fibre infrastructure independent of Openreach, often bringing gigabit speeds to areas that would otherwise wait years for full fibre access.

This article covers the latest on Fibrus's 2025 expansion plans, current coverage, and what the company's growth means for UK broadband consumers seeking full fibre alternatives to traditional providers.

2025 Expansion Update

Fibrus has ambitious targets for 2025, continuing the rapid build-out that has characterised the company since its founding in 2018. Key developments include:

Northern Ireland: The Core Market

Northern Ireland remains Fibrus's primary market, where the company has made significant inroads against traditional providers. With Openreach's full fibre rollout historically slower in NI compared to Great Britain, Fibrus has filled a crucial gap:

• Now passing over 300,000 premises in NI alone
• Coverage spanning urban Belfast to rural communities
• Project Stratum partnership bringing fibre to underserved areas
• Strong uptake rates among connected premises

Great Britain Expansion

While Northern Ireland remains the heartland, Fibrus has been steadily expanding into Great Britain:

• Cumbria: Significant rollout across the county
• North East England: Selected towns and communities
• Scotland: Emerging presence in selected areas

The GB strategy focuses on areas with limited existing full fibre competition, often smaller towns and communities where larger providers haven't yet invested.

Current Coverage Areas

Fibrus coverage is available or under construction in numerous locations. Here's a snapshot of key areas:

Packages & Pricing

Fibrus offers competitive pricing with a focus on symmetrical speeds—meaning your upload speed matches your download speed. This is a key advantage over cable providers like Virgin Media where upload speeds are typically much lower than downloads.
