Independent profile snapshot

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

Optua Telecommunications is a B2B UK alternative network operator delivering Fixed Wireless Access and full-fibre (FTTP) broadband to business customers, with historical operations focused on Scotland, particularly around Glasgow and the Central Belt. Registered as Optua UK (Companies House 05296389, incorporated 25 November 2004) at River House, Maidstone Road, Sidcup, Kent DA14 5TA with former Director Stephen Paul James, the Companies House status is now recorded as dissolved. At the time of writing the optua.co.uk domain was still reachable and functional, so Optua may be trading under a different legal entity; however, the dissolved CH record indicates the legal structure has been wound up and prospective customers should verify current trading status directly before ordering. Optua was historically a registered supplier for the Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme and subscribed to the Communications Ombudsman Alternative Dispute Resolution scheme for customer complaints. Existing customers seeking continuity should consult the Communications Ombudsman for dispute resolution guidance and explore alternative Scottish B2B altnets for ongoing service. Contact was historically via [email protected], with primary website optua.co.uk/gb.
