LONDON, UK, 5 November 2026
As consolidation continues to overhaul the UK connectivity market, Neos Networks, one of the UK’s leading business connectivity providers, is strengthening competition by giving customers access to a wider range of independent fibre networks. With new 10Gbps-capable services from CityFibre and direct access to ITS, Neos now offers customers up to ten network options.
Recent developments, including BT’s pending acquisition of TalkTalk and PXC and the Competition and Markets Authority’s provisional concerns over Nexfibre’s proposed acquisition of Netomnia, demonstrate the precarious future of the UK’s fibre market. With network ownership evolving, maintaining meaningful competition and customer choice remains a key priority for the sector.
Neos Networks developed LIVEQUOTE to bring greater clarity, choice and ease to this fragmented market. The digital platform brings together connectivity options from its own network as well as BT Wholesale, Openreach, Virgin Media Business, PXC, Colt, Sky, Vorboss, CityFibre and ITS, enabling customers to compare available networks, commercial terms and service options rather than managing separate supplier relationships. Instead of being tied to one network operator across their estate, such as Openreach, customers can select from different infrastructure providers according to availability, capacity and commercial requirements.
The latest addition to LIVEQUOTE gives Neos Networks access to additional CityFibre infrastructure, expanding the availability of high-capacity Ethernet and other connectivity services delivered through its national network and digital platform, subject to location availability.
Neos has also directly onboarded ITS Ethernet and Ethernet over FTTP services, introducing additional competitively priced connectivity options for Ethernet and Neos DIA across ITS’ network, spanning locations from London and the North West to the Midlands, Yorkshire, Scotland and the South West.
“Consolidation is changing who owns the UK’s connectivity infrastructure, but it shouldn’t reduce the choices available to customers,” said Nafsika Katsoglou, Director of Product, Digital and Pre-Sales at Neos Networks. “LIVEQUOTE is designed as per our strategy to give customers greater clarity and choice by bringing multiple network options together in one place. With CityFibre and ITS expanding that choice even further, customers can select the right connectivity for each location rather than being tied to a single network operator.”
“We’ve built our infrastructure around the needs of businesses in major towns and cities across the country,” said Dave Ferry, Chief Sales Officer at ITS. “Combining that local reach with Neos Networks’ national backhaul network gives customers greater connectivity choice and direct access to our Ethernet and Ethernet over FTTP services in the UK’s major business conurbations.”
The additions form part of Neos Networks’ continued development of LIVEQUOTE. Alongside this, Neos Networks has launched API ordering across optical, DIA and Ethernet services, enabling customers to embed Neos Networks’ connectivity ordering directly within their own systems. This provides a more integrated and automated buying experience, reducing manual processes and making it easier for customers to purchase and manage connectivity at scale.
