About Broadband in Artigarvan
Artigarvan is in Derry City and Strabane. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 869 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 Artigarvan?
Artigarvan is in a strong position compared to most of the UK. The village sits within the Derry City and Strabane district, an area that has seen significant full fibre investment from Fibrus, the Northern Ireland-focused altnet that passed 150,000 premises by May 2026. That rollout has brought full fibre (FTTP) speeds of up to 869 Mbps to properties across the district, putting Artigarvan well ahead of the UK national average of around 82% FTTP coverage as of Spring 2026.
Openreach is also active in the area, running its own FTTP build programme alongside Fibrus. Where both networks pass the same street, residents benefit from genuine competition: two separate fibre providers means more choice on price and contract terms, which is relatively rare outside major cities.
No specific rollout announcements for Artigarvan itself were found in the trade press at the time of writing. The available evidence points to coverage already being in place rather than planned, so if your property is not yet connected, it is worth checking directly with both Fibrus and Openreach to confirm your individual line status.
One deadline to be aware of: Openreach is switching off the old copper PSTN network in January 2027. Any household still relying on a traditional copper phone line or ADSL broadband will need to migrate to a digital voice service over fibre or another IP-based connection before that date. Artigarvan's existing FTTP availability makes this transition straightforward for most residents.
