Openreach is the primary network provider across Southampton, with all major ISPs including BT, Sky, Vodafone, and EE offering full fibre packages over its infrastructure. Southampton has also attracted toob, a Hampshire-based altnet building its own independent full fibre network across the city. toob offers symmetrical gigabit speeds and has been expanding its footprint across Southampton postcodes since 2020, making it a strong challenger option worth checking alongside Openreach-based providers.
One change that affects all Bargate households: Openreach is switching off the old copper PSTN phone network in January 2027. If you or anyone in your household still uses a traditional landline plugged into a BT socket, you will need to move to a digital voice service before then. Most full fibre providers include a VoIP home phone as standard, but it is worth confirming with your provider, especially if you rely on a monitored alarm or healthcare device that uses the phone line.
