About Broadband in Audlem
Audlem is in Cheshire East. 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 Audlem?
Audlem is in a strong position compared to much of rural England. Full fibre (FTTP) infrastructure is available here, with speeds of around 869 Mbps on record, putting it well ahead of the national average. Across the UK as a whole, roughly 82% of premises can access full fibre and around 89% can access gigabit-capable broadband as of Spring 2026. For a small market town in Cheshire East, having gigabit-ready FTTP already in place is a genuine advantage.
No specific Openreach rollout announcements for Audlem or the wider Cheshire East area appeared in recent ISPreview coverage at the time of writing. The area is served by Openreach's national FTTP network, which underpins services from BT, Sky, Vodafone, Plusnet, EE, and a range of smaller ISPs including Aquiss, a Shropshire-based provider that recently launched 1.2 Gbps and 1.8 Gbps tiers on the Openreach network and serves customers across the Cheshire border region.
One national change that will affect every household in Audlem is the PSTN copper phone switch-off, scheduled for January 2027. Openreach confirmed in June 2026 that around 1.9 million UK lines have yet to move to a digital alternative. If your home or landline-dependent device, such as a monitored alarm or telecare unit, still runs on the old analogue network, you will need to arrange a switch to a Voice over IP (VoIP) service before the deadline. Openreach has stated there will not be a sudden cut-off for those who miss the date, but the transition is happening and it is worth acting now.
