Independent profile snapshot

This extended snapshot summarises how the provider presents itself in the UK market. It supplements the dataset-led summary above.

Bogons Ltd is a long-established UK alternative network provider with over 30 years of experience designing, building and operating internet infrastructure, based in Chepstow, Wales and led by Director Brandon Butterworth. Bogons combines wholesale and retail services spanning community-focused fibre deployments (including match-funding, design and backhaul for Balquhidder Community Broadband's 1Gbps gigabit village project in Scotland), fixed wireless assets acquired from the administrators of AB Internet in 2017 (networks in North/South Wales, Loch Tay and the Black Isle), business-grade leased lines and engineering-led consultancy. The provider operates a modern IP network with high-capacity links supporting IPv6 and multicast routing, running direct peering at major UK internet peering points and offering 2x100Gbps upstream capacity. In 2014 Bogons famously purchased the former Cultybraggan Camp nuclear bunker near Comrie, Perth and Kinross for £150,000 at auction, and has since been redeveloping it as a secure long-term data-storage and datacentre facility, which began coming online in 2017. Bogons is a UKWISPA member.
