Full fibre heading to more than 31,000 homes and businesses including Adwick Le Street
Full fibre broadband is heading to a further ten towns and villages across South Yorkshire as part of a huge broadband upgrade by Openreach
Around 31,500 people living and working in Adwick Le Street
Conisbrough and Rossington are next in line for full fibre
They join more than 360,000 homes and businesses across South Yorkshire who already have access to the UK’s most reliable broadband technology
said: "Residents and businesses of Adwick
Conisbrough and Rossington will benefit from full fibre broadband
This will be a real boost for those areas of Doncaster
providing increased broadband speeds to businesses and households
“Doncaster is the largest Metropolitan Borough in the country by area
so it is vitally important that connectivity is as up-to-date as it can be
ensuring that no community is left behind.”
Openreach partnership manager for Yorkshire and the Humber
said: “This is a huge infrastructure success story across South Yorkshire
No company is building faster or further in Europe
We plan to build even further across the county
“And our engineers are doing this at a rapid pace - despite this being a hugely complex engineering project
“Our fibre checker has the latest information about our work in your area
It’s also worth noting that upgrades aren’t automatic
Once full fibre is available where you live
you’ll need to place an order to get connected and we’ll do the rest
“Openreach’s network offers the widest choice of providers such as BT
Vodafone and Zen – which means people have lots of choice and can get a great deal.”
The work is all part of Openreach’s £15 billion project to upgrade the UK’s broadband infrastructure - making gigabit-capable technology available to 25 million homes and businesses by the end of 2026
including 6.2 million in harder to reach more remote and rural areas
More than 4.7 million homes and businesses across the UK have already upgraded to Full Fibre and demand continues to flow
with more than 50,000 orders being placed each week
Openreach has also refreshed its online map and postcode checker to give a clearer
regularly updated view of its plans and progress between now and 2026
The map now shows the levels of current and future expected full fibre coverage as of today
taking data from all of its build programmes
whilst the postcode checker continues to offer the most personalised view of the connectivity available to an individual home or business
Further updates will be provided as any additional locations are added in future
