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.

No location-specific rollout announcements for Atherstone Central or Hinckley and Bosworth were found in the ISPreview news archive at the time of writing. The full fibre availability here is delivered via Openreach's national FTTP network, which passed 23 million UK premises by May 2026 and is targeting 25 million by the end of December 2026 as part of its up to £15bn build programme. In a promising sign for the wider region, Openreach confirmed in May 2026 that it had begun building in nearby Markfield, also in Leicestershire, as part of its latest wave of pre-planned FTTP deployments.
The primary infrastructure here is Openreach, meaning a wide choice of ISPs can sell you a full fibre connection: BT, EE, Sky, Vodafone, Plusnet and TalkTalk all operate on the network. Smaller altnets such as Gigaclear and Zzoomm are active across parts of the East Midlands, though coverage in Atherstone Central specifically will depend on your exact postcode.
If you currently use a traditional landline phone, you should be aware that Openreach is closing the old copper PSTN network in January 2027. All phone and broadband services will move to digital (VoIP) alternatives before that date. Openreach confirmed in June 2026 that around 1.9 million UK lines are yet to make the switch. If your line has not already been migrated, contact your provider to arrange it ahead of the deadline.
