What's Happening with Broadband in Allens Cross?
Allens Cross is in a strong position compared to much of the UK. Full fibre (FTTP) is available here at speeds up to approximately 894 Mbps, delivered via Openreach's national fibre network.

Residents here are firmly in the well-served majority.
No specific local rollout announcements for Allens Cross have been published by Openreach or the major altnets at the time of writing. What is clear from the national picture is that Openreach continues to expand its FTTP footprint across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands, and BT Group reported reaching 23 million FTTP premises nationally as of May 2026 (ISPreview, 21st May 2026).
For Allens Cross residents, the most relevant altnet in this part of Birmingham is CityFibre, which has been building its own independent full fibre network across major UK cities including Birmingham. It is worth checking whether CityFibre's network is live in your specific postcode, as coverage can vary street by street.
One change every household in Allens Cross needs to be aware of: the old analogue phone network (PSTN) is being switched off in January 2027. If you still rely on a traditional copper phone line, you will need to move to a digital Voice over IP (VoIP) service before that date. Most ISPs are now handling this migration automatically, but it is worth confirming with your provider. Openreach has confirmed there will be no sudden disconnection on the switch-off date for those who have not yet migrated, but making the switch sooner avoids any risk.
