Zzoomm, which is majority-owned by Oaktree, is among the bidders to have made it through to the second round of an auction of Trooli, another altnet fibre broadband provider, Sky News learns.

A fibre broadband provider controlled by the giant US investor Oaktree Capital Management is exploring a merger with one of its 'altnet' rivals amid growing pressure to consolidate.

Zzoomm, which is based on Henley-on-Thames, Oxfordshire, has connected roughly 100,000 domestic and business premises since its launch. Last month, Sky News revealed that Virgin Media O2 and its shareholders are also exploring a bid for Trooli, which could be worth in the region of £100m.
