No specific Openreach rollout announcements or altnet build plans have been publicly reported for Ault Hucknall or the wider Ashfield area at the time of writing (June 2026). Openreach's national build programme is targeting 25 million UK premises by the end of 2026, with a further ambition to reach 30 million by 2030, but build plans for individual locations in that later phase have not yet been confirmed.
The primary full fibre network in this part of Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire is delivered via Openreach, meaning residents can access it through a wide choice of ISPs including BT, Sky, EE, Plusnet, Vodafone, and smaller providers such as Aquiss. CityFibre has been expanding its independent full fibre footprint across the East Midlands, though its coverage in the Ault Hucknall area has not been confirmed as live.
One important deadline to be aware of: Openreach is switching off the old analogue copper phone network (PSTN) in January 2027. If you still have a landline phone or broadband running over the copper network, you will need to migrate to a digital voice service before that date. Your ISP should contact you directly, but it is worth checking now if you are unsure.
