CityFibre Ltd., the UK’s largest independent fiber network provider, is reportedly set to raise £900 million ($1.2 billion) from its shareholders to strengthen its challenge against BT Group Plc’s Openreach.

Openreach is leveraging Google AI technology to enhance the speed of its fibre rollout initiatives and simultaneously work towards reducing carbon emissions.

Openreach is facing criticism after telling a customer they could have full fibre broadband, only to later brand the connection 'uneconomical' and change its mind.

The UK's communications regulator, Ofcom, has moved to block an 'aggressively discounted' offer from BT Group Plc's wholesale broadband subsidiary, Openreach, citing competition concerns.

The UK's communications regulator, Ofcom, has extended its regulation of BT Openreach by five years and expanded price caps to include the 80 Mbps broadband tier, aiming to incentivize investment in faster networks.

Ofcom is considering blocking BT's Openreach new customer deal due to concerns that it is 'not fair and reasonable,' a move Openreach expressed disappointment over.
