The Surf Telecoms optical fibre network provides an ideal regional service for carriers, telecommunications service providers and mobile operators.

Along the route, Surf has developed some 18, dark-fibre and carrier-bandwidth regenerator stations and strategic network POPs, together with additional interconnect opportunities at WPD's own communications sites.

The network is 1,600 km, extending from above Cardiff in South Wales and down into the UK’s South West peninsula. It delivers 70,000 km of quality ITU-T G652 fibre and offers users 18 POPs, four core rings and multiple, national-interconnects, together with landing-station access rings.

The network extends from Cardiff and Bristol in the North, via Bridgwater, Taunton, Exeter, Newton Abbot, Plymouth and Redruth to Land's End in the South. The return is via North Devon, Barnstaple, South Somerset and Bath.

The route is installed on the power transmission lines of sister company, Western Power Distribution and in public highways. It includes cable and duct rings which extend access to most landing stations at Land's End and Bude, as well as a considerable underground metro network throughout Cardiff.

Surf Telecoms offers short and long-term, fibre leasing or IRUs over the cable routes. Most of these are independent of other network operations and have been chosen to pass through strategic POPs and site locations where there are effective regeneration facilities, breakout and interconnection opportunities.
