Openreach has added another 21 locations to its full fibre UK rollout that will see nearly 80,000 rural and urban premises access high speed broadband, as it continues to connect 5m more homes and businesses during the year to March 2026.

Hey!Broadband has seen rapid growth in the South East, with new installations completed in just a few days, helping connect more residents to broadband services.
The full fibre provider added 5,000 customers in a short period, and has now connected over 30,000 customers across the South East.
This recent growth is driven by its ability to connect customers faster than most major ISPs – often in as little as one day.
Hey!Broadband offers what it says are faster connections and shorter installation windows, and using a skilled engineering team, installations are completed in just a few days, enabling communities to benefit sooner.
The altnet provider operates across a wide area of South England including London, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey, and West Sussex.
Lourdes Saez, CEO at Hey!Broadband said: “We believe in affordable, stable internet, and with our focus on efficient installations and customer satisfaction, we look forward to reaching even more milestones.”
