What's Happening with Broadband in Ashby Willesley?
Ashby Willesley sits within North West Leicestershire and currently has access to full fibre (FTTP) broadband at speeds of around 874 Mbps, putting it well ahead of the UK national average. Nationally, full fibre coverage reached approximately 82% of premises in Spring 2026, with gigabit-capable services available to around 89% of UK homes. Ashby Willesley benefits from Openreach's continued rollout across the district, which places it comfortably in line with those national benchmarks.
The most recent news for this part of Leicestershire comes from neighbouring Markfield, also in North West Leicestershire, where Openreach confirmed in May 2026 that engineers had recently started building new FTTP infrastructure as part of an 11-location UK expansion (ISPreview, 27 May 2026). That build activity is part of Openreach's broader programme to reach 25 million UK premises by the end of December 2026. No specific Ashby Willesley rollout announcement has been published at the time of writing.
In terms of alternative network providers (altnets), North West Leicestershire is primarily served by Openreach-based ISPs. Larger altnets such as CityFibre and Gigaclear have focused their East Midlands builds on more densely populated urban centres, so availability in smaller settlements like Ashby Willesley is limited to Openreach-connected providers, including BT, Sky, Vodafone, Plusnet, and EE.
If you use a landline phone service, note that Openreach's old copper PSTN network is being switched off in January 2027. Any remaining analogue phone lines in Ashby Willesley will need to migrate to a digital voice service before that date. Openreach has confirmed there will be no abrupt cut-off for those who have not yet switched, but it is worth contacting your current provider to ensure a smooth transition.
