About The Phone Co-op

Document Actions
As a founder partner of the Community Broadband Network, The Phone Co-op has been at the forefront of initiatives to develop community broadband.

We are a backhaul provider to many networks (e.g. 3-C, Oxfordshire Rural Broadband, Alston Cybermoor), delivered over leased line or ADSL. We can also provide a fully branded 'virtual ISP', with e-mail and web hosting services. As a customer owned co-operative, our values dovetail with those of community owned groups, who themselves are predominantly organised as co-operatives or mutuals. We can also offer telephone services on an affinity basis, which provide a fund raising opportunity for our partners.

The telecoms market is rapidly changing and The Phone Co-op is firmly positioned at the innovative end of the spectrum, with new products and services in development with our partners. For example, we are currently trialling a VOIP service with Cybermoor.

As a consumer co-operative, our customers can become members for a minimum £1 share. Profits are shared out through a dividend based on spend,  In addition we allocate a portion of profits earned to our Co-operative and Social Economy Development Fund, which is available to new and expanding co-operatives, and has already been used to assist community broadband start-ups.

The Phone Co-op is delighted to be a sponsor of the ABC/CBN Spring Event.
