Sohonet was started over 10 years ago by a group of post houses in London, due mainly to their frustrations with the telecommunications operators, who were unable to provide the services they required. Sohonet's initial network was the first commercial wide area ATM network in the world. Sohonet has since remained at the cutting edge of technology, operating an early wide area Ethernet network, deploying SDSL technology, and being the first to commercially deploy VDSL technology in the UK.

In 1999, the original Sohonet founders sold to Neos Networks, a small UK telco, who was in turn acquired by Scottish and Southern Energy. It quickly became apparent that the highly responsive and international requirements of Sohonet were not well matched to a large utility company, and in 2003 the current management successfully acquired the business.

This change in ownership has made Sohonet completely independent of both post production houses and carriers, allowing us to successfully grow and develop.
