Highlights
Vorboss is investing £250 million into London’s only dedicated business fibre network, providing 10Gbps minimum capacity and full coverage for Central London commercial buildings. Vorboss disrupts the status quo by giving ambitious London businesses direct access to essential fibre infrastructure, bypassing resellers and legacy infrastructure limitations.
Lagging applications, grinding downloads, and outages are a thing of the past for London’s enterprises. Vorboss has built a brand-new business fibre network dedicated exclusively to enterprises in Central London—revolutionising the city’s critical fibre infrastructure.
What does this mean for you? You can upgrade your current internet connection to improve your business operations.
Unleashing your ambitions
‘Internet connectivity has become the single most important utility for most businesses. Our network is designed for one purpose: provide the capacity that London needs.’ Tim Creswick, Vorboss Founder and CEO
By providing 10Gbps as standard, an industry first, businesses can operate with effectively zero bandwidth constraints. Internet Service Providers (ISPs) typically resell legacy infrastructure, but Vorboss has a brand-new network of fibre optic cables. We own the process end-to-end and sell directly to our customers.
Internet that scales
You have probably noticed that your business is increasingly reliant on technology and shifting towards cloud-based infrastructure. Is your current ISP able to keep up with your exponentially rising bandwidth demands? Your growing dependence on internet connectivity puts you in a vulnerable position.
‘Many businesses remain at the mercy of restrictive telecommunications products and business models. These legacy networks are a limiting factor in critical technology decisions, which can restrict growth. Our network is unrivalled in both scale and quality, and our sole focus is enabling business growth.’
A new fibre network
.avif)
Since 2020, we have put in more than 500 km of fibre optic cables in London. We are spending over £250 million to create a fibre network solely for commercial use. Businesses in Central London now have direct access to critical fibre infrastructure at a minimum of 10Gbps, up to 100Gbps.
This includes 22 Bishopsgate, Britain’s largest office building noted for its visionary approach to technology. Vorboss internet connectivity helped 22 Bishopsgate secure a WiredScore Platinum connectivity certificate, the highest possible stamp of approval.
Changing the status quo
Our approach to building the network is as disruptive as the network itself. We have created over 300 new jobs for Londoners in the last 18 months; for most, it is their first foray into telecoms. Much of this has been enabled by the 2019 change in regulation surrounding the use of existing duct infrastructure.
‘We’re proud to be in London and believe our team should reflect the diversity of our community. We knew this would only be possible if we attracted new people to this industry.’
Over the last 18 months, nearly 200 people have graduated from the Vorboss Academy, which is an accredited in-house programme designed to give people the skills to kickstart a career in the telecommunications industry.
We have the most diverse fibre optic installation team in the industry; nearly 40% of our field-based team are women, and we strive for gender balance across all job roles.
Internet connectivity in abundance
Our 10Gbps-standard fibre network has redefined London's business landscape, providing speed and capacity that eliminates bandwidth constraints. London’s economy, global standing, and legacy is intimately woven with its connectivity, so greater connectivity means a greater London for all.

At this year’s PropTech Connect conference in London, one message stood out. Landlords and property managers want technology that is practical and helps them stay competitive in a changing market.
Here are three trends we found most interesting:
1. Flexible, modular solutions beat one-size-fits-all platforms
Tenants today expect more from their offices, move-in ready spaces, the freedom to choose their providers, and contracts that fit their lease terms. That means landlords can’t rely on rigid, all-in-one platforms that don’t adapt as requirements evolve.
This is why landlords and operators are looking for specialist partners who provide modular solutions that integrate smoothly with other building systems. This gives landlords the flexibility to upgrade or switch partners without overhauling everything, and ensures tenants get the experience they expect.
2. Landlords need building tech designed around real users
A recurring frustration across the sector is that technology is often designed by consultants and delivered by contractors, yet it rarely aligns with the practical needs of those managing the building. Too often, property teams are left with systems that look impressive on paper but don’t work in practice. They need partners to understand the operational needs of their buildings in practice, not just on paper.
For landlords, investing in solutions that match day-to-day building operations not only improves usability but can also save money. Technology partners who understand what property managers and operators actually need (not just what looks good in a spec sheet) are essential for avoiding costly inefficiencies
3. Smarter use of existing infrastructure can cut costs and increase efficiency
Not every operational improvement requires new hardware. Many buildings already have the tools in place to generate useful data. Wi-Fi access points are a good example. These can be used to anonymously track space utilisation, footfall, and occupancy trends.
This data can help landlords and operators:
- Allocate bandwidth to the busiest areas.
- Adjust heating, lighting, and cleaning schedules based on actual usage.
- Optimise leasing strategies by understanding how tenants really use the space.
Are you looking for commercial technology solutions?
Vorboss can support your entire digital infrastructure: connectivity, pre-fibering, managed IT, and cybersecurity, all from a single provider. Through our acquisition of Layer8, we can help you automate building management and make day-to-day operations easier and more efficient.

Internet connectivity is the lifeblood of modern businesses, powering operations, communication, and growth. But not all “fibre” connections are created equal.
All connections use fibre at some level, but performance, reliability, and guarantees vary depending on the underlying network. Choosing the right type of connection now can save downtime, frustration, and cost in the future.
In this guide, we'll explore key factors when selecting the ideal business internet provider to keep you connected and thriving.
Understand the connection types
Here’s a quick comparison of the three main fibre-based connections available to businesses:
FTTC and FTTP may work for small teams or low-risk work, but DIA is the only connection built for business-critical reliability, speed, and consistent performance.
Ask yourself these questions
Before comparing providers, clarify your internal needs:
- How critical is uptime for your business operations?
- Which teams rely heavily on cloud apps, video conferencing, or large file transfers?
- How much bandwidth do we need now, and how much will we need in 2–5 years?
- Are upload speeds as important as download speeds for our workflows?
- Would temporary downtime cause financial or reputational damage?
This self-assessment helps you match connection types to your business requirements.
