Standard broadband runs over the copper phone network. Speeds depend on your distance from the telephone exchange and typically range from around 5 Mbps to 20 Mbps.

No specific Openreach expansion announcements for Alderley Edge or Cheshire East have been published on ISPreview in recent months, which is not unusual for areas where full fibre rollout is already complete. The infrastructure is in place; the focus now is on residents choosing to upgrade and take advantage of it.
In Cheshire East, the dominant provider on the Openreach wholesale network is Openreach itself, resold through major ISPs including BT, Sky, Vodafone, EE, and Plusnet. The altnet landscape in this part of Cheshire is limited compared to urban centres, CityFibre has not announced coverage in Alderley Edge, and most premises are served via Openreach's FTTP build.
One change that will affect every household in Alderley Edge is the PSTN copper switch-off. Openreach has confirmed the analogue phone network closes in January 2027, with the final cut-off date set for 1st February 2027. If you still have a traditional landline phone, you will need to switch to a digital (VoIP) alternative before then. Openreach has stated there will be no sudden disruption on the day, but anyone on copper-based broadband who has not yet moved to full fibre should treat this deadline as a prompt to upgrade.
