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.

Q4 is crunch time, with businesses pushing hard to hit year-end targets. But nothing slows momentum like lagging connectivity. For teams, that often run across hybrid setups using cloud apps, this often means slow file transfers, dropped video calls, and frustrated employees trying to get work done. Every minute of downtime is a minute of lost productivity.
The hidden cost of downtime
Our Reliability and Compensation Report shows that 51% of UK fixed business connectivity customers report experiencing an outage annually, and nearly 1 in 5 have more than three outages. These disruptions cost the average business around £11,000 in lost output.
Even worse, over 60% of those affected didn’t receive any compensation, either because claiming it wasn’t worth the effort or they didn’t expect to get anything back. So, while cheaper connections might look appealing on paper, they carry hidden operational costs that far outweigh any upfront savings.
How bandwidth directly impacts productivity
As more teams use AI-driven tools to speed-up tasks, poor connectivity becomes counteractive. These tools rely on fast, stable bandwidth to process and return results in real time. When responses lag, workflows slow, and the efficiency gains AI is designed to provide are reduced.
Most businesses only realise their network limits when they need it most, Q4 is the perfect example! Yet many teams have simply learned to put up with it. After years of slow uploads and dropped calls, it’s easy to accept that’s just how things are. But it doesn’t have to be that way. There is a choice, and switching to a more reliable connection is simpler than most realise (to us, anyway).

Fix problems now before they get worse
Addressing performance issues now ensures your team finishes the year strong and starts the next one even stronger. With reliable bandwidth, files transfer instantly, video calls stay clear, and systems remain responsive, so your team can focus on what really counts, getting work done.
Even if everything seems fine today, your team’s bandwidth demands are growing rapidly. Nielsen’s Law shows that high-end users’ network speeds increase by roughly 50% each year, so now’s the time to check whether your current contract can support the upgrades your team will need to avoid future slowdowns.

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.
