Broadband built for businesses

Vorboss, a London-based telecommunications company, has installed more than 500 km of fibre optic cables in London since 2020 and is investing £250million to build London’s only full-coverage fibre network dedicated to business, with a commitment to cover all commercial buildings in central London.

“Internet connectivity has become the single most important utility for most businesses,” said Tim Creswick, Vorboss founder.

“Our network is designed for one purpose: provide the capacity that London needs. In a market where most businesses are still connected at 1 gbps or less, we’re proud to be providing 10 gbps as a minimum, effectively removing bandwidth constraints for our customers. We own our network and sell directly to our customers, which allows us to bypass the resellers that provide access to the Openreach network.”

The majority of London businesses are reliant on Openreach infrastructure, which can only be accessed through resellers.

The reliance on technology and the steady shift towards cloud-based infrastructure has increased dependency and bandwidth demands on fibre network providers.

Vorboss is disrupting the status quo by providing ambitious London businesses with direct access to critical fibre infrastructure, with simple, transparent pricing, and London-wide coverage.

“London generates a GDP of over £500billion; yet, many businesses remain at the mercy of restrictive telecommunications products and business models,” said Mr Creswick.

“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.”

Vorboss delivers 10 gbps as the new minimum standard, with services at 100 gbps already live with customers. This includes 22 Bishopsgate, Britain’s largest office building noted for its visionary approach to technology.

The Vorboss service helped 22 Bishopsgate secure a WiredScore Platinum connectivity certificate, the highest stamp of approval.

Theo Blackwell , chief digital officer for London, said: “The Mayor of London is committed to world-class digital connectivity for London’s businesses and is creating an investment

climate that infrastructure providers can trust. It is great to see Vorboss enabling growth across core sectors where London has a global advantage like tech, financial services, creative industries, and property. Success in these areas will support plans to boost our capital’s economy and create new jobs.”
