About Broadband in Bassishaw
Bassishaw is in City of London. Full fibre broadband is available here, with typical download speeds of around 891 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 Bassishaw?
Bassishaw sits in the heart of the City of London, one of the most densely connected square miles in the country. Full fibre (FTTP) infrastructure reaches the vast majority of premises here, with speeds of around 891 Mbps available from providers on Openreach's network. That places Bassishaw well ahead of the UK national average: as of Spring 2026, roughly 82% of UK premises have access to FTTP and 89% can access gigabit-capable broadband, according to Ofcom data.
No ISPreview-reported rollout announcements specific to Bassishaw or the City of London ward were found at the time of writing. Given the area's existing near-complete full fibre coverage, that is unsurprising: the focus for Openreach's current build activity is on less-connected parts of the country, such as rural Wales and Scotland, rather than on a central London financial district that was cabled early in the FTTP programme.
For business-dense areas like Bassishaw, CityFibre also operates an independent full fibre network across central London, giving residents and businesses an alternative to Openreach-based providers. Community Fibre has a strong presence in the wider London area too, though its coverage within EC2 postcodes is more limited than in residential boroughs.
One change that will affect all properties in Bassishaw is the PSTN copper switch-off. Openreach has confirmed the analogue phone network closes in January 2027, with the full cutover completing by 1 February 2027. Anyone still on a traditional landline needs to move to a digital Voice over IP (VoIP) service before that date. As ISPreview reported on 11 June 2026, around 1.9 million UK lines had not yet switched ahead of the deadline.
