What's Happening with Broadband in Ashby Holywell?
Ashby Holywell is in a strong position compared with much of the UK. Full fibre (FTTP) is available here, with typical download speeds around 874 Mbps via Openreach's network. That puts the village well ahead of the national average: as of spring 2026, roughly 82% of UK premises can access full fibre, and gigabit-capable coverage stands at around 89% nationally (ISPreview, January 2026).
No specific rollout announcements for Ashby Holywell or North West Leicestershire have been published on ISPreview at the time of writing. The area is served by Openreach as the primary network operator, meaning the full range of retail ISPs that sell over Openreach infrastructure, including BT, Sky, Vodafone, EE, Plusnet and Zen Internet, are potential options depending on your postcode.
North West Leicestershire sits within a part of the East Midlands where Openreach has been the dominant full fibre builder. Alternative network operators (altnets) such as CityFibre have focused their East Midlands expansion on larger towns; coverage of smaller settlements like Ashby Holywell by altnets is not confirmed without a live postcode check.
One nationwide change worth noting: Openreach is switching off the old copper PSTN phone network in January 2027. If you or anyone in your household still uses a traditional landline not already on a digital voice service, your provider should be in touch about migrating before that deadline. Full fibre connections are not affected by the switch-off itself, but any phone service tied to the old copper line will need to move to a VoIP or digital alternative.
