Fibre 1

What Fibre 1 does

Fibre 1 was a UK-based internet service provider (ISP) headquartered in Forres, Scotland, founded in 2014. The company offered bespoke connectivity plans to business customers, combining broadband, phone plans, and internet security services into a single managed package. Its operational footprint was small (1-10 employees), and its public web presence was the fibre1.uk domain. Revenue was generated through recurring subscription contracts with UK business clients, with no publicly disclosed pricing or scale metrics.

The company's core product — Fibre1 ISP Services — was a fibre-based business broadband and connectivity solution sold primarily to UK SMEs. One block of third-party source material describes Fibre1 as "a large Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Nigeria" competing with Spectranet and Starlink; this characterization conflicts with the UK firmographics (Forres headquarters, fibre1.uk domain) and the more recent, first-party KubeNet customer-facing page, which describes a Scotland-based business ISP acquired by another Scottish MSP. Per source-precedence rules, the firmographic and acquirer (first-party) sources are treated as authoritative.

In 2025, KubeNet (a Glasgow-based managed-services provider specializing in Managed IT, Connectivity, Voice, Cloud, Cyber Security, and IoT) acquired the Fibre1 customer base. Following the transaction, Fibre1 customers are supported directly by KubeNet, with access to dedicated support teams, faster resolution times, and a broader solution portfolio. The acquisition effectively ends Fibre1's status as an independent operating company.
