Pantymwyn in Flintshire is joining more than 2,800 towns, cities, boroughs, villages and hamlets included in Openreach’s latest Full Fibre broadband build plans.   

The once-in-a-generation, Full Fibre broadband upgrade will let thousands of local people connect an army of devices at gigabit-capable speeds, whilst safe in the knowledge they have broadband capacity for decades to come.

More than 1200 homes and businesses are expected to benefit.

Full Fibre broadband provides more reliable, resilient and future-proof connectivity; with fewer faults; more predictable, consistent speeds and enough capacity to easily meet growing data demands.

Martin Williams, Openreach Partnership Director for Wales, said:

“Nobody in Wales and the rest of the UK is building full fibre faster, further or at a higher quality than Openreach. We’re reaching more communities than ever and our team of highly-skilled engineers, alongside our build partners, are working hard to deliver some of the fastest and most reliable broadband available.

“The latest details and timescales will be available on our website as the build planning progresses.”

Openreach recently passed more than 11.5 million premises across the UK, including around 3.7m million in the hardest to serve ‘final third’ of the country.

And while Openreach continues to build at pace more than 3 million homes and businesses have taken up an ultrafast service over the Openreach network – a healthy take up rate of more than 30 per cent.

Ultimately the company plans to build Full Fibre to 25 million homes and businesses nationwide by December 2026.

For the most personalised view of an individual home or business, Openreach recommends using its online postcode checker where people can find out the specific broadband connectivity available at their address.
