About Broadband in Annalong
Annalong is in Newry, Mourne and Down. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 887 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 Annalong?
Annalong is in a strong position by UK standards. The village sits within the Newry, Mourne and Down council area, where Fibrus Networks has been one of the most active full fibre (FTTP) builders in Northern Ireland. By May 2026, Fibrus had passed more than 150,000 premises across the region, and Openreach has also extended its own FTTP build into parts of the area. The result is that Annalong residents can access speeds of around 887 Mbps on full fibre connections, well above the UK's Spring 2026 national average of 82% FTTP availability and 89% gigabit coverage.
No ISP Review articles specific to Annalong or Newry, Mourne and Down were published at the time of writing, so we cannot point to a confirmed local rollout announcement. What is clear from Fibrus's broader Northern Ireland activity is that the altnet has prioritised rural coastal communities as part of its subsidised build programme, making villages like Annalong a realistic target for continued network expansion.
Openreach's copper switch-off is also relevant here. The PSTN network is being retired in January 2027, meaning any households still relying on older ADSL or VDSL services delivered over copper will need to migrate to a full fibre or alternative voice solution before that deadline. If your property is not yet on FTTP, now is the right time to check availability and plan your upgrade.
