About Broadband in Allington & Strete
Allington & Strete is in South Hams. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 857 Mbps, well above the UK average of 69 Mbps. Most major providers cover the area, so there is a reasonable amount of competition on price.
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.
Superfast broadband (FTTC) uses a fibre optic cable to your street cabinet, then copper for the final stretch to your home. Most urban and suburban areas can get speeds of 35 to 80 Mbps.
Full fibre (FTTP) runs fibre optic cable all the way into your home. It is the fastest and most reliable option available, with speeds from 100 Mbps upwards.
What's Happening with Broadband in Allington & Strete?
Allington & Strete is in a strong position for broadband connectivity. Full fibre (FTTP) is available in the area, with speeds reaching around 857 Mbps on Openreach's network. That comfortably outpaces the UK national average, where gigabit-capable coverage stood at approximately 89% of premises and full fibre (FTTP) at around 82% as of Spring 2026. For a rural South Hams village, this level of connectivity is well above what many comparable communities across Devon can access.
No specific rollout announcements for Allington or Strete have been published on ISPreview or Openreach's build tracker at the time of writing. The infrastructure appears to be in place rather than in an active build phase, which means residents are not waiting for coverage but instead choosing whether to switch to it.
For South Hams more broadly, the main network provider is Openreach, whose FTTP infrastructure underpins packages from BT, Sky, EE, Vodafone, Plusnet, and a range of smaller ISPs. The rural nature of the South Hams district means altnet competition is limited here compared to larger towns. Wessex Internet operates a fixed wireless and fibre network across parts of rural Devon and Dorset, and may serve properties in outlying areas where Openreach coverage is thinner.
One deadline worth noting: Openreach's copper PSTN network is being switched off in January 2027. Any household in Allington or Strete still using a traditional landline phone or copper-based broadband will need to migrate to a digital voice (VoIP) service before then. If you are on FTTP already, this transition is straightforward through your existing provider.
