Openreach

The new service will be available a through communication providers (CPs) who use Openreach’s network to supply voice and broadband products.

Openreach will stop selling traditional copper-based phone and broadband services in 163 additional exchange locations.

Half of all UK homes and businesses now have access to full fibre broadband powered by Openreach’s network. 

Previously end-users needing to amend the date or time of their appointment could only do so via a text service which only offered limited options.

The new list covers around 900k premises across the UK and is part of a rolling policy to stop selling legacy analogue products and services when full fibre becomes available to a majority (at least 75%) of premises in each exchange location.
