MS3 Networks: wholesale full-fibre network in Hull and the north of England

MS3 Networks Limited is a telecommunications infrastructure company founded with the stated aim of breaking the broadband monopoly in Hull and bringing a real full-fibre offering to the city. Its model is wholesale: the company deploys the fibre network and makes it available to partner internet service providers (ISPs), who are the ones that contract with the end user.

A wholesale model with a comparison platform

The company does not sell directly to the end customer. What it offers is the infrastructure — the cables through which the connection runs — and a marketplace where users can compare and choose between the packages available on its network. According to the company itself, this price comparison tool is an industry-first platform that brings transparency and visibility to the offers of its partner ISPs. Customer service, installation advice and connection maintenance are handled by those providers.

Full fibre (FTTP) and stated benefits

MS3's network uses fibre optic all the way to the home or business (FTTP), rather than the copper cables of traditional installations. The company states that this technology enables speeds up to twenty times faster than those of most UK homes and five times greater reliability, with fewer drop-outs and more stable video calls. It also notes that its customers save an average of more than £200 a year when switching provider. These are figures provided by the company itself in its commercial presentation.

Sign-up and installation process

The sign-up process begins by entering the postcode and selecting the address. If the property is eligible, the user can filter the available packages, choose one and set an installation date. If there is no coverage yet, the website allows users to register to be notified when the network arrives. The company recommends cancelling the contract with the previous provider. The installation method varies depending on the location and the website refers to an explanatory video. MS3 also has a referral system with rewards for both the referrer and the new customer.

Services for homes and businesses

The activity targets two audiences: homes and businesses. On the business side, the website mentions business connectivity and a wholesale channel. The company also works with property developers, according to the sections included on its site.

Presence and coverage

MS3 Networks operates in Hull and the north of England. The company states that it deploys its network in the areas where it provides service and that its offering reaches customers through several partner ISPs, among which customer testimonials mention Hull Fibre, MTH, Link Broadband, Octaplus, Squirrel Internet and Open Fibre. The company states that thousands of customers have already switched to its network.

Informational and news content

The site includes an FAQ section that explains what full fibre (FTTP) is, how it is installed and who provides the service. It also publishes news, with examples such as a guide to the best fibre providers in Hull in 2025, an article on streaming content with full fibre broadband and another on how fibre is changing rural life in Hull.
