Netomnia, one of the UK's alternative broadband network providers, has placed around 100 staff on redundancy notice.

UK staff placed on redundancy notice

The altnet sector has expanded fast on heavy infrastructure investment, and is now under pressure as competition tightens and the cost of building fibre networks bites.

Netomnia is not the only operator making cuts. CityFibre and Freedom Truespeed have both announced redundancies in recent months, which points to a broader contraction across the independent fibre market rather than a problem at a single company.

Why this matters if you're facing redundancy

Altnet redundancies often hit engineering and build teams where people were hired quickly during a network rollout. Short service reduces statutory redundancy pay, but it does not remove your right to fair consultation or a fair selection process.

Where around 100 people are given notice at once, collective consultation duties may apply, and that carries a minimum consultation period before notices take effect. If you were told the decision was already made, that is worth asking about, because a failure to consult properly can lead to a protective award separate from your redundancy pay.

Because 100 or more roles are affected, your employer should be running a collective consultation lasting at least 45 days before any dismissal takes effect. These thresholds apply per establishment, so the exact position depends on how the cuts are spread across sites.
