What Full Fibre means for local homes and businesses

Fibre broadband provides faster, more consistent speeds that:

• Keep video calls and remote work smooth and buffer-free
• Support multiple devices at once, from streaming to gaming
• Enable digital tools for local businesses to operate and grow

Openreach’s Full Fibre network supports over 700 broadband providers, allowing people to choose a deal that suits their budget and lifestyle.

Openreach encouraging residents to make the switch

Kieran Wines, Openreach Partnership Manager, said:

“This new network gives families and businesses a future-proof connection. But it’s important to act – upgrades don’t happen automatically.”

Residents need to place an order with their chosen broadband provider to get connected.

Even if your current service seems ‘good enough’, Full Fibre may offer faster speeds at a similar or even lower monthly cost.

A step toward Openreach’s national goals

The Hastings upgrade is part of Openreach’s wider plan to connect:

• 25 million homes and businesses by the end of 2026
• Up to 30 million by the end of the decade

With strong progress in Hastings, the town is now firmly part of the UK’s Full Fibre future.
