Otta's take on Cuckoo
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Four incumbents currently own more than 90% of the broadband market, and customers often face poor service, complex deals and hidden price rises. Cuckoo aims to disrupt the UK broadband market, seeing an opportunity to change this space.
The company is bringing in some transparency and is working to fix the broken broadband market. Cuckoo has one deal and a one-month rolling contract with simple pricing, no loyalty tax and no hidden charges, while offering the fastest available speed on the network.
It is backed by leading venture capital investors, RTP Global and JamJar Investments and is continually developing to offer the best services for customers. This includes its most recent same day launch service that aims to get customers online within 24 hours, radically reducing the industry standard timeframe of 14 days.
