About Altnets

Altnets was built around a promise: to do things differently.

Our Story

Paul Britnell and Sam Bangle had spent years watching the telecoms sector endure the same problems: inconsistent supply chains, substandard goods, lengthy delivery times, and communication gaps that slowed everything down. For a sector built on connectivity, it often felt anything but connected. From Paul and Sam’s motivation and belief that the industry deserved better, Altnets was born.

Years of experience in the industry has taught us everything there is to know about telecoms infrastructure. We don’t just sell products. We’re here to help you save money on the installation and maintenance of your network, and provide a top quality service to your customers.
