About Broadband in Anchorsholme
Anchorsholme is in Blackpool. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 889 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 Anchorsholme?
Anchorsholme is in a strong position by national standards. Full fibre (FTTP) is available here at speeds of around 889 Mbps, putting the area well ahead of the UK average: as of Spring 2026, roughly 82% of UK premises can access FTTP and 89% have access to gigabit-capable broadband. Anchorsholme sits comfortably within that connected majority.
The network serving this part of Blackpool is built by Openreach, meaning residents can choose from a wide range of ISPs on the same physical infrastructure, including BT, Sky, Vodafone, EE, Plusnet, and a growing number of independent providers. Openreach has committed to covering 25 million UK premises with full fibre by the end of 2026 as part of a wider up-to-£15bn national rollout.
No ISPreview-sourced news articles specific to Anchorsholme or the Blackpool FY3 area were found at the time of writing, so no location-specific rollout announcements can be confirmed here.
One national change worth noting: the old copper PSTN phone network is being switched off in January 2027. If you or anyone in your household still uses a traditional landline, your provider should already be in touch about migrating to a digital voice service over your broadband connection. Full fibre users are well-placed for this transition, but it is worth confirming your setup before the deadline.
