History[edit]

Origins[edit]

Business-Broadband's origins go back to 2 April 2011, when Invictel Ltd, a residential broadband telecoms company, launched. Due to its success, Invictel Ltd[2] incorporated Lixxus,[3] a defunct broadband company,[4] in December 2011.[5][6] In 2016, Invictel was rebranded to that of Business-Broadband.net and the business relocated to its new headquarters in Truro, Cornwall.
