Our 950 engineers are busy installing our Full Fibre network to more than 3,500 homes and businesses every week. This means that every hour another 22 premises in the region can access Full Fibre broadband.
We're proud to sponsor Ulster Rugby
Openreach and Ulster Rugby have joined forces to celebrate the importance of connections. From the families and friends that come together at weekend sports events, through to the coaches and communities that help support young people. And not forgetting our very own engineers who play such a crucial role in building the broadband network that keeps Northern Ireland connected.

COVID-19 poses a bunch of challenges for the UK - and we want to play our part in limiting the impact on society, the economy and our employees.
