🚀 Big News from Uptime Allies 🚀

We’re excited to announce our new partnership with FullFibre, bringing faster, more reliable broadband to homes and businesses across the UK.

At Uptime Allies, part of The Cent.re Group, we believe broadband should be simple, transparent, and backed by real human support. That’s why we’ve teamed up with FullFibre, who already deliver high-speed connectivity to over 130 towns and cities nationwide.

This partnership means:
✅ Faster broadband options for customers
✅ Transparent pricing & flexible packages
✅ UK-based human support (no endless red tape!)
✅ Built-in reliability with our enterprise-grade infrastructure

As our co-founder Karl Mitchell says:

“For too long, broadband has been dominated by the big players. AltNets like FullFibre are changing the game—and Uptime Allies is proud to bring that choice to customers.”

This is the first of many partnerships we’re building with AltNets across the UK—and we can’t wait to keep bringing businesses and households better broadband and better service.

Happy Birthday to us!

5 years ago yesterday James Creese and I finally pulled the trigger and established The Cent.re Group Limited and what a journey it's been!

We've learned a lot about how to operate a business, what we want to sell and who we want as customers and suppliers, we've lost our office dog Ollie, and gained a different office dog Archie, grown our network (Joined London Internet Exchange), our assets, developed a strong and reliable supply chain, survived unprecedent economic turmoil and still turned a profit, established a sister brand Uptime Allies to better market our ISP services, that works alongside itcent.re's managed services, implemented new technologies into our stack and introduced our customers to new technologies to help them work more reliably and safely.

We're putting all that experience to good use for 2024 and beyond, we've got a load of projects lined up for customers, we're going to be expanding the network with another point of presence, and we're in talks to onboard some alt-nets too!

Here's to the next 5 years! I wonder what we'll look like by then!

Wishing our biggest, daftest, and bestest boy a happy second birthday!

You'll find him in the nearest muddy puddle, inspecting your lunch, or hunting the biggest sticks he can find in the woods.

Did you spot us in Northern Insight this month? 👀

With the recent furore around ChatCPT, it would be easy to get carried away with what technology can do for your business. But the truth is, most small businesses are simply not getting the fundamentals of their IT right.

By spending a bit of time on the core aspects of IT and telecommunications, businesses could be saving time, money and headaches by choosing the right technologies and partners for their business.

Did you know it's today? We didn't until a few minutes ago, but any excuse to post picrtures our former goodest boy (Ollie) and current goodest boy (Archie) when they were bitey boys!

Hopefully it serves a brief reprieve from the usual drivel that usually fills up our timelines.
