Business Description

"BBB is a broadband provider that delivers super-fast broadband using alternative technologies to homes and businesses that are unserved or underserved by fibre.

BBB has customers in 30 countries with regional business units in the UK, France, Germany, Poland, Italy, Spain, Ireland, Norway (serving all of Scandinavia) and Australia (serving Australasia).

The business grew exponentially focused initially on a core capability in satellite broadband, the company is now the largest satellite broadband ISP outside North America and the 4th largest in the world.
