About Broadband in Anstey
Anstey is in Blaby. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 879 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 Anstey?
Anstey residents are in a strong position compared to most of the UK. Full fibre (FTTP) is available in the village, with speeds typically reaching around 879 Mbps on Openreach's network. That puts Anstey well ahead of the national average: as of Spring 2026, around 82% of UK premises can access FTTP and approximately 89% have access to a gigabit-capable connection.
No specific Openreach rollout announcements for Anstey or the wider Blaby district have been published in recent months. ISPreview, which tracks UK broadband builds closely, has not reported any targeted expansion news for this area. Openreach's most recently announced build locations, confirmed in May 2026, covered 11 areas including Markfield in Leicestershire, which neighbours Anstey to the west. That suggests active infrastructure work is ongoing across the county, though no formal Anstey-specific announcement has been made at the time of writing.
For altnets, CityFibre has an active footprint across Leicester city, and while coverage does not currently extend into Anstey itself, its presence in the broader Leicester area means competition on the Openreach wholesale network remains healthy, with ISPs including BT, Sky, Vodafone, and TalkTalk all offering full fibre packages here.
One deadline worth noting: Openreach is retiring the old copper PSTN phone network in January 2027. If anyone in Anstey still uses a traditional landline phone over copper, they will need to switch to a digital voice service before that date. Openreach has confirmed there will be no abrupt cut-off on 1 February 2027, but switching sooner avoids any disruption.
