Full fibre broadband provider Trooli has confirmed that its network is now integrated with PlatformX Communications (PXC) and ready for wholesale traffic at scale. The move means PXC’s ISP and carrier customers can start buying Trooli-based services over a standard wholesale interface, instead of treating the network as a future option still in development.
At the same time, Trooli’s full fibre coverage has increased to 460,000 premises, up from 448,000 reported in September 2025. The company continues to concentrate on towns and larger semi-rural communities in England and Scotland, targeting areas where full fibre competition has been limited. Trooli’s rollout is supported by investment from Agnar UK Infrastructure.
Trooli–PXC wholesale integration status
Trooli and PXC announced their wholesale partnership in March 2025. That agreement set out how PXC would add Trooli’s full fibre access to its existing wholesale platform so that multiple providers could take services through a single commercial and technical link.
At the announcement stage, live products based on Trooli’s network were not yet available. Both companies needed to complete system integration, testing and product definition before traffic could be carried.
The latest update confirms that this work has now reached the point where Trooli’s network is “ready to trade at scale” on PXC. In practical terms, PXC’s partners can begin placing orders, managing installations and handling faults over Trooli’s network using the same tools they already use for other access providers.
PlatformX Communications and its role in the market
PlatformX Communications, usually shortened to PXC, is the wholesale connectivity arm formerly known as TalkTalk Wholesale. It focuses on supplying broadband and Ethernet services to other providers rather than selling directly to homes and small businesses.
PXC aggregates access from multiple networks, including national operators and alternative full fibre builders, and presents them through a single interface to its customers. Those customers include ISPs, carriers and systems integrators that want to sell services over a wide area without managing separate contracts and systems for every network they use.
By adding Trooli to this platform, PXC gives its partners another full fibre option, particularly in rural and semi-rural locations where coverage from the largest networks may be patchier.
Trooli full fibre coverage and premises passed
Trooli’s full fibre network now covers 460,000 homes and businesses. That figure has risen from 448,000 premises in September 2025 as the company continues to extend its build.
The strategy has been to focus on communities that have often had to rely on copper-based services such as FTTC and ADSL, where speeds and reliability have lagged behind full fibre areas. By overlaying those locations with fibre-to-the-premises (FTTP) connections, Trooli aims to provide gigabit-capable access where previous choices were limited.
Counties and regions served by Trooli
Trooli’s network is present across a spread of English counties, including:
- Berkshire and Buckinghamshire
- Cambridgeshire and Dorset
- East Sussex and West Sussex
- Hampshire, Kent, Norfolk and Suffolk
- Wiltshire
In Scotland, Trooli has coverage in parts of North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire and Fife. Some of this Scottish network originated from Axione UK’s infrastructure before being brought into Trooli’s platform following corporate changes.
Taken together, these areas give Trooli a mix of smaller towns and larger villages rather than a pure focus on big city centres.
Wholesale channel and growth ambitions
Trooli has been selling full fibre broadband directly to homes and businesses under its own brand. However, relying only on a retail channel can limit how quickly an independent builder can fill its network and recover build costs.
The new link with PXC provides an additional route to market. Instead of signing direct wholesale agreements with dozens of individual ISPs, Trooli connects once to PXC. PXC then offers Trooli-based products to its existing wholesale customers under its own commercial framework.
If ISPs choose to adopt Trooli-based products through PXC, the network can attract more traffic in existing build areas without Trooli needing a large direct sales operation. That, in turn, can support further build-out in new communities.
Benefits for PXC partners and their customers
For ISPs and carriers that already use PXC, the integration gives them access to another full fibre network without adding a new supplier relationship. Trooli’s presence appears inside the PXC ordering and support systems alongside other networks.
This creates several practical benefits:
- Wider full fibre coverage, especially in towns and semi-rural areas where other networks may not be present
- A single technical and commercial interface with PXC instead of separate systems for each additional network
- The option to build national or near-national FTTP products using multiple underlying access networks, including Trooli
For end customers, any changes will arrive through familiar retail brands. As ISPs start to launch Trooli-based services, homes and businesses within Trooli’s coverage should see more full fibre offers and a broader choice of providers.
Integration work and timeline update
When the partnership was unveiled in March 2025, PXC suggested that the first Trooli-based products could be ready during Q2 2025. That expectation has slipped, with the “ready to trade at scale” stage arriving later in the year.
During the intervening months, technical teams from both companies have worked on linking ordering systems, aligning provisioning and fault-handling processes, and ensuring that product details and price lists are consistent. That work is critical for any wholesale launch because gaps in these areas can cause delays or faults once ISPs begin placing live orders.
Rural and semi-rural connectivity focus
A recurring theme for both organisations is the impact on rural and semi-rural communities. Many of the areas Trooli has chosen to build in have historically depended on slower copper-based connections and have had fewer options for high-speed services.
PXC’s leadership has highlighted Trooli’s presence in these locations as a useful addition to its aggregation strategy. By plugging Trooli into the platform, PXC can offer partners another way to reach communities outside the largest cities with full fibre broadband, using familiar wholesale systems.
Statements from Trooli and PXC
Trooli’s chief executive, Andy Conibere, says that engineering and operations teams on both sides have been working since the start of the partnership to complete the integration. He describes Trooli’s network as built for people who would otherwise be left using weaker broadband services and confirms that the company is now ready to welcome customers that come through PXC.
PXC’s chief executive, James Smith, describes Trooli as an important element in its strategy to bring together alternative full fibre networks on one platform. He says the integration is in its final stages and that the arrangement will support scaling activity early next year, particularly in rural and semi-rural areas.
Outlook for 2026 and market context
With the wholesale link now live, the next step is adoption by PXC’s ISP and carrier partners. The level of demand for Trooli-based products will influence how quickly additional traffic flows across the network and how much further expansion Trooli can justify.
More broadly, the Trooli–PXC arrangement reflects a wider pattern in the UK broadband market. Independent fibre builders, investors such as Agnar UK Infrastructure and wholesale aggregators are working together to turn patchy full fibre coverage into something more accessible for ISPs, while extending gigabit-capable services to a broader mix of towns and semi-rural communities.
