Some of Cardiff’s best-known food and drink retailers are now using cutting-edge technology, thanks to Ogi’s growing digital footprint across the capital.
Curado Bar and Tiny Rebel are the latest businesses to benefit from the Welsh telco’s full fibre upgrade, joining anchor tenant Cardiff Arms Park on Ogi’s new fibre spine running through the Westgate entrance to Central Square.
Backed by its privately funded infrastructure rollout, Ogi’s expansion is helping homegrown hospitality venues move into the fast lane — providing the bandwidth and reliability needed to power bookings, back-of-house systems, tills, and secure guest Wi-Fi.
Ben Potts, General Manager at Curado Bar, on the edge of the Castle Quarter, said the new connection has “already improved reliability and speed” — something crucial to the venue’s day-to-day operations, adding, “I love to see it.”
Tiny Rebel’s city centre bar has also joined the network, as demand grows for more resilient, business-grade broadband in high-footfall areas.
Ogi’s Director of Business Sales, Andy Dow, said: “From pouring pints to running point-of-sale and booking systems, these businesses rely on being online — especially at peak times. The connection needs to be fast, but more importantly, solid. That’s what our full fibre delivers — and we’re proud to be backing some of Cardiff’s best-known local names in the process.”
The new business connections follow the recent full fibre switch-on at Cardiff Arms Park, where Ogi is powering Cardiff Rugby’s digital operations as part of a wider technology partnership.
The stadium installation laid the groundwork for a high-capacity fibre spine and new micro data centre running through the city — unlocking faster, more resilient connectivity for nearby venues and offices.
Andy added: “We’ve now got a major piece of digital infrastructure right in the city centre — and the Arms Park install was the catalyst for that. It means we can offer business-grade services to more and more organisations across the capital, with ultrafast speed and enterprise-level support baked in.”
With work continuing in the Bay and north Cardiff — and a growing number of city centre businesses coming on board — Ogi is paving the way for a more connected capital.
Ogi’s network investment forms part of its wider mission to level up digital connectivity across Wales, putting the nation’s towns, cities, and stadiums firmly on the digital map.
