The main full fibre provider here is Fibrus, the Northern Ireland-focused altnet that passed 150,000 homes and businesses by May 2026. Fibrus has been one of the most active FTTP builders in the region, bringing full fibre to areas of Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon that were previously reliant on older copper-based services. Openreach also operates in the area, meaning residents may have a choice of full fibre providers depending on their exact postcode.
No specific network expansion announcements for Banbridge East were found in trade press at the time of writing. If you are still on a copper broadband or phone line, it is worth noting that BT is switching off the old PSTN copper network in January 2027. This affects traditional phone lines and any broadband services that rely on them. Providers are required to migrate customers to digital alternatives before the deadline, so if you have not already been contacted about a migration, check with your provider now.
