The best broadband in the UK

Salisbury - what a year!
Openreach engineers completed the fastest city-wide network build in the UK - making Full Fibre broadband available to more than 22,000 homes and businesses in just under 12 months.
Salisbury is now the first city in the UK to have complete access to Openreach’s Full Fibre broadband infrastructure, where we’ve cut out the cabinet to deliver lightspeed broadband direct to your door.
Full Fibre is also known as Fibre to the premises (FTTP). You can read more about our latest technology here.

The digital upgrade
We’re modernising our phone and broadband services across the UK. We’re moving from our existing analogue and copper technologies to faster, more reliable, Full Fibre broadband.
From 1 December 2020 in Salisbury, you won't be able to buy copper broadband if you upgrade, re-grade or switch provider. But don't worry, our Full Fibre network replacing it will give you an ultra-reliable connection and ultrafast speeds of up to 1Gbps.
The copper-based network has been serving us well since the Victorian era, but with the popularity of mobiles and Voice over IP (VoIP) services like FaceTime, Skype, Portal, WhatsApp and advances in more reliable, faster and greener technology - it now makes sense to focus on the digital Ultrafast Full Fibre network.

Full Fibre is more than just faster speeds, It's future-proofed, which means it has plenty of extra capacity to support our ever-growing demand for data hungry services and applications.
