17th September 2026 – Following its June announcement of a full fibre expansion into 13 additional towns and cities, ITS has confirmed that Aberdeen, Bath, Bournemouth, Chester, Coventry, Huddersfield, Loughborough, Plymouth and Swansea are now Ready for Service.
The nine locations are the first to go live from ITS’s 2026 network expansion, with Cardiff, Edinburgh, Exeter, and Southampton due to follow by the end of the year.
The increased footprint brings more organisations within reach of ITS’s business-grade network, extending access to connectivity built specifically for business use. In these locations, ITS’s channel partners can now bring that connectivity to their customers, alongside the wider services they build around it, from managed networks and voice to cloud, security, AI, Wi-Fi and SD-WAN.
The rollout is focused on commercially dense areas, and reflects the way business connectivity needs are changing, with organisations looking for services that can flex around different sites, applications, resilience and security requirements.
Dave Ferry, Chief Sales Officer at ITS, said:
“Bringing these locations live is about turning footprint into opportunity for our channel partners. They can now take business-grade connectivity into more towns and cities, and use it as the access layer for the wider services their customers need.
“We are seeing the market move beyond a simple broadband or Ethernet decision. More businesses want premium connectivity options such as Ethernet-over-FTTP, multiple services into the same site, or managed bundles that bring resilience, security and performance together in a way that fits how they operate.
“This is where the channel creates real value. Our role is to make sure partners have the network, product choice and service experience behind them, so they can compete with stronger propositions in the places their customers need them to be.”
The expansion forms part of ITS’s ‘Built for Business’ campaign, designed to help partners bring business-grade connectivity choice to more organisations across the UK.
