History
A major part of the business strategy was focused on investing and building a state-of-the-art next-generation network, which started in 1999 and was largely completed in 2001. This two-year build was the fastest rollout of this type of infrastructure by any British telecoms provider.
THUS was the first telecoms provider to develop a national network capable of offering fully converged services based on Internet Protocol and Multi Protocol Label-Switching, moves subsequently mirrored in BT's ongoing build of its 21st Century Network. THUS' NGN is resilient and gives their customers high levels of network availability and industry-leading Service Level Agreements across their portfolio.
ScottishPower founded THUS plc in Scotland in November 1994 under the name Scottish Power Telecommunications Holdings Ltd. Scottish Power Telecommunications Holdings Ltd rebranded as THUS plc in October 1999 before floating on the London Stock Exchange in November 1999. THUS plc, which incorporates both the THUS and Demon brands, demerged from ScottishPower in March 2002 and created THUS Group plc. In February and March 2006 respectively, the company acquired Your Communications and Legend Communications, and in June 2006 the disposal of Demon Netherlands was completed.
