What's Happening with Broadband in Antrim Centre?
Antrim Centre is in a strong position compared to most of the UK. Full fibre (FTTP) is available across much of Antrim and Newtownabbey, with speeds reaching up to 886 Mbps, well ahead of the UK national average of around 82% FTTP availability as of spring 2026.
The main driver of full fibre in this area is Fibrus, the Northern Ireland-based altnet that passed 150,000 customers by May 2026. Fibrus has built one of the most ambitious FTTP networks in the UK outside of major cities, and Antrim and Newtownabbey has been a core part of its Northern Ireland rollout. Openreach is also active in the area, meaning residents and businesses may have a choice of full fibre providers depending on their exact postcode.
No specific rollout announcements for Antrim Centre have been reported by ISPreview or major industry sources at the time of writing, so local coverage should be verified by postcode rather than assumed from area-wide figures.
One deadline that applies to everyone in Antrim Centre is the PSTN copper switch-off in January 2027. BT Openreach is retiring the old copper phone network nationwide, which affects anyone still on a traditional landline or an older ADSL or VDSL broadband connection. If your current service runs over copper, you will need to move to a fibre-based or VoIP product before that date.
