The standard connectivity journey for many Wolverhampton businesses goes like this: run an availability check, find FTTP not available, get told a leased line at £300-600/month is the only option. Then sign an expensive contract for a service they might not actually need.
WolverhamptonFibre offers a third path: private fibre. Where the standard CityFibre or Openreach FTTP rollout hasn't reached your premises, we can arrange a dedicated fibre run directly to your building — delivering gigabit-class speeds at a fraction of leased line cost.
This matters most for Wolverhampton businesses on industrial estates, in older city centre buildings, or in areas where the standard FTTP rollout has paused. If the availability check says nothing is available, that's the start of the conversation — not the end.
Many businesses paying £400/month for a leased line could have had private fibre for £120/month. They just weren't told it was an option. We will always tell you.
Private fibre solves the problem that standard availability checks cannot.
Many Wolverhampton business parks sit outside the standard FTTP footprint. Private fibre brings the network in — often the first high-speed connection the estate has seen.
Older commercial buildings in WV1-WV3 where FTTP installation is structurally complex. Private fibre routes around the constraints.
Large footprint premises where standard FTTP termination doesn't reach the right part of the building. Private fibre runs to where you need it.
Where Starlink or 4G are the only visible options but a wired connection is preferred, private fibre extends the network to rural WV premises.
A leased line is the right answer when you genuinely need a 4-hour fault fix SLA with financial penalties, dedicated 1:1 contention, and a static IP block. That describes a small minority of Wolverhampton SMEs.
For businesses that need fibre because FTTP isn't listed at their address, private fibre solves the availability problem without the enterprise pricing. We will always recommend the right product — if a leased line is genuinely what you need, we'll say so. If private fibre is the better answer, we'll save you significant money.
Get Private Fibre Assessment Full ComparisonPrivate fibre is a dedicated fibre connection run directly to your Wolverhampton premises from the nearest network point — bypassing the standard FTTP rollout footprint. Where standard CityFibre or Openreach FTTP availability checks show nothing available, we can arrange a private fibre circuit that delivers the same gigabit speeds at broadband pricing rather than leased line pricing.
A leased line is a fully dedicated point-to-point private circuit with a 4-hour fault fix SLA — priced from £150-650/month. Private fibre provides a dedicated fibre run to your premises without the enterprise overhead, delivering similar speeds at significantly lower monthly cost. For most Wolverhampton businesses that need fibre but are seeing no standard availability, private fibre is the answer before a leased line is considered.
Private fibre is significantly cheaper than a leased line. Where a 1 Gbps leased line might cost £350-600/month, a private fibre solution delivering comparable speeds typically costs £80-200/month depending on the civil works required and distance from the network point. We assess every case individually.
Not at all. Standard availability checks show what is pre-built. We can arrange private fibre runs to premises where standard FTTP has not yet been deployed — this is particularly relevant for industrial premises, older city centre buildings and some business parks across Wolverhampton.
Private fibre typically takes 20-60 days depending on the civil works required and the distance from the nearest network point. This is longer than standard FTTP (5-20 days) but significantly faster than many leased line installations (30-90 days).
Industrial estates and business parks where CityFibre or Openreach FTTP has not yet been deployed, older commercial buildings in the city centre where running standard FTTP is complex, and some rural WV business addresses where terrestrial fibre options are limited.
Availability depends on proximity to the nearest fibre network point and the civil works required. We assess each address individually — call 01902 283 891 with your full business address and we can tell you within 24 hours whether private fibre is viable and at what indicative cost.
Private fibre provides a physically wired dedicated connection with more consistent latency than satellite. For business addresses where private fibre is viable, it is generally the preferred choice. Where civil works are prohibitively expensive, Starlink Business (150-350 Mbps satellite) remains an excellent alternative.
