Can I get fibre broadband in my area?

Around 95% of UK households have access to superfast fibre broadband (with download speeds of at least 30Mb/s). So while it's not available everywhere, there's a decent chance you can get it where you are.

Ultrafast coverage (that's with download speeds of at least 300Mb/s) is available in just over half of the country, while full-fibre (capable of offering download speeds as high as 1Gb/s) is available to just 10% of households.

Most of the country is served by the BT Openreach network and, to a lesser degree, Virgin Media's. A few other smaller suppliers (such as Gigaclear) have their own proprietary networks as well, with smaller coverage.

Overall coverage is improving, with more and more households being connected each year, meaning that more and more people will have access to great broadband speeds all the time. To find out if you can get fibre broadband in your area, use our postcode checker.
