UK-based ISP Community Fibre has launched a new IPTV service powered by Netgem's PLEIO platform. The service integrates Freely, SVOD aggregation, and cloud gaming, marking an expansion of the existing partnership between the two companies.
This deployment demonstrates how regional alt-nets are evolving beyond simple connectivity to become full-service entertainment hubs. By integrating Netgem’s cloud gaming and Freely’s IP-based broadcast TV, Community Fibre is bypassing traditional infrastructure hurdles like satellite installation to offer a lower-friction entry point for consumers. This move pressures larger UK incumbents to justify higher-priced bundles as smaller providers offer comparable aggregation and unique gaming value-adds. The success of this all-IP strategy will likely influence how other fiber providers package hardware to reduce churn. Watch for subscriber adoption rates of the £12 add-on to determine if cloud gaming serves as a meaningful differentiator for broadband ISPs.
Community Fibre has launched a new PLEIO-powered IPTV service for 1.4 million homes in London and the South East. Powered by Netgem, the platform integrates Freely, 300 cloud games, and major streaming apps into a single 4K device. This move transforms the ISP into a full-service entertainment hub without requiring aerials.
The service is priced at £12 per month for Community Fibre customers, which includes the 4K IPTV hardware and the premium content subscription.
No, the PLEIO 4K Puck delivers live broadcast TV via Wi-Fi, eliminating the need for traditional satellite dishes or aerials.
The platform features deep integration with Freely for public service broadcasting, access to major streaming services like Netflix and Disney+, and a library of 300 cloud games.
Community Fibre aims to expand its full-fibre network reach from 1.4 million premises to 2 million premises by 2029.
