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.

South and West Wales is also served by Ogi, an independent altnet building its own full fibre network, while TFW Fibre is active across Cardiff and the Valleys. Depending on your exact postcode, one of these providers may offer an alternative to Openreach-based services, sometimes at competitive prices.
It is also worth noting that BT Openreach is retiring the old copper PSTN network in January 2027. Any household in Baruc still on a traditional phone line or an ADSL or VDSL broadband product should plan to switch to a full fibre or digital voice service before that deadline to avoid disruption.
