29th November 2021 – MS3, a provider of full fibre services to homes and businesses, has announced today its partnership with Asterion Industrial Partners, an independent investment management firm focused on European infrastructure in the mid-market. Asterion and MS3 will work to accelerate the company’s plans to build a full fibre network ultimately serving over 500,000 homes and businesses in the North of England.
As a wholesale-only provider, MS3 will enable its existing and future ISP clients to provide up to 10Gb connections to end-customers, building on their existing fibre ring through Hull and to more than 30 other locations in the region.
