Giganet, which is headquartered in Fareham, Portsmouth, launched its full fibre broadband to the premises service less than 12 months ago. It can now deliver superfast broadband to 9 million homes across the UK.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuckoo will continue operating under its own name, becoming the lead consumer brand for Giganet&#8217;s core residential customers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The two firms are an ideal match. As well as delivering fast and affordable internet to areas with poor connectivity, Giganet and Cuckoo have shown a commitment to keeping a lid on rising broadband prices. Both firms introduce a no price rise promise, freezing the cost of all their tariffs until 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;ve also called for better deals for loyal customers, who often end up paying more than those who have just signed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Today&#8217;s acquisition marks a meeting of minds at a time when consumers deserve more from a utility as critical as the internet,&#8221; said Giganet CEO Jarlath Finnegan. &#8220;Our vision to be the best ISP in the UK aligns perfectly with Cuckoo&#8217;s goal to be the fastest, fairest, and, of course, the most trusted, bringing to the market a fresh challenger that puts customers first.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;This is great news for customers,&#8221; added Alexander Fitzgerald, CEO of Cuckoo. &#8220;Cuckoo&#8217;s expertise lies in building brilliant customer experiences, and Giganet are experts in building and running networks. Together we will deliver faster, cheaper, and better broadband for millions. And we&#8217;re only just getting started.&#8221;<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giganet has purchased Cuckoo as part of plans to consolidate as one [&hellip;]<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_excerpt --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_excerpt -->","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-401","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-isp-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
