17 September 2025: Virgin Media O2 has today unveiled its dedicated Fixed Wholesale unit which brings together consumer and business facing wholesale teams under one roof as the company evolves its proposition and offers a scaled wholesale alternative across the UK.
The new business unit will combine the current B2B2C and B2B2B teams under one leadership structure to create a focused and simplified fixed wholesale division. It will offer a joined-up, single sales engine and interface for a wide mix of partners and customers with the scale, speed and service to challenge the wholesale market.
Central to the new business unit’s strategy will be the creation of a differentiated offering that provides a compelling alternative to the status quo in the fixed wholesale market. This will be underpinned by a newly developed digital-first system architecture and optimised customer journeys and processes.
Offering access to Virgin Media O2 and nexfibre’s fibre networks, which pass more than 7 million premises today and are continuing to expand, the new unit will support a full range of wholesale partners across ISPs, resellers and enterprise carriers. By bringing together both consumer and business wholesale teams, the new unit will accelerate delivery timelines and reduce complexity for partners, enabling a greater focus on the needs of the end customer. giffgaff is already successfully utilising Virgin Media O2’s wholesale capabilities, with the recent launch of their new broadband service which offers consumers a range of symmetrical speed fibre broadband packages.
