Altnets Freedom Fibre and VX UK to merge

The new operation will have a combined footprint of 285,000 premises focused on the North West of England and the Midlands, and operate as Freedom Fibre Limited. Freedom Fibre founder and CEO Neil McArthur and the current Freedom Fibre senior leadership will be at the helm.
